Each investigation is different and will require differing levels of research, evidence collection, analysis, and documentation of your findings to meet the needs of different audiences. You will also be required to build and maintain effective internal and external stakeholder relationships. The ATSB takes safety seriously, which is why we have multiple levels of checking and enquiry to ensure the findings and outcomes for each report are solid and can stand up to external scrutiny.
