Why not?

A mateof the Hound reckons in light of all the hoo-ha about new health and safety regulations, why doesn’t WorkSafe NZ publish its reports into workplace accidents.

“When there is a mishap with an aircraft, the CAA investigates and its findings are published,” the Hound’s pal says. “NZ pilots of all ages and qualifications have grown up reading these reports and thereby learning from others’ mistakes.” But your canine crusader’s confidant reckons when WorkSafe investigates an accident “the findings are seemingly shoved in a filing cabinet and never see the light of day”. He suggests making these accident findings public would be educational: he cites the example of Worksafe British Columbia, which presents its accident reports on You-Tube.
