with their employers concerning the health problems they experienced.8 A number of other submissions argued there was not a continuing problem warranting further action and investigation. The remaining submissions did not advocate the implementation of any further action.
1.14 The Committee also received evidence from the operating airlines describing in detail the steps taken to address the problem, including compulsory reporting systems and extensive modifications to the BAe 146 air circulation system.
1.15 As noted, the Committee is particularly concerned to identify whether the BAe 146 presents a link between effects on occupational health of flight crew and the safe operation of the aircraft. This has emerged as a difficult and controversial issue.
1.16 The Committee received considerable evidence criticising aspects of the regulatory regime for the aircraft and focusing on issues that should be taken up by regulators, such as:
.  oil leaks and exposure to oil fumes;
.  
responses to crew complaints;

.  
testing procedures for cabin air; and

.  
modifications measures necessary to remedy fume contamination.

1.17 The Flight Attendants Association of Australia (FAAA) told the inquiry in evidence that:
There has been a significant exercise in semantic tap-dancing by the regulatory authority, CASA, over whether this is a health issue or a safety issue as though there is some need for distinction between the two. The flight attendants on board the aircraft are on board for this reason: there is a regulatory requirement that, to ensure the evacuation of all passengers in under 90 seconds through half the available exits, cabin crew are required to be there. Flight attendants are there for safety. If flight attendants are having to be carted off aircraft in wheelchairs and placed onto oxygen during descent, the health of these flight attendants has been affected to the extent where the safety of the flight and of those passengers has been compromised. Consequently, the issues of health and safety are not separate, but are inextricably intertwined.9
1.18 However, a letter to the Committee from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) responding in part to the issue of fumes in relation to neurological impairment, set out the view of the Bureau on this issue:
8  Ms Judy Cullinane submitted a detailed submission and additional documents setting out details of her illness and her experiences in dealing with Ansett, Submission 17, Ms Judy Cullinane; see also Submission 10, Deborah Carter; and Confidential submissions C20 and C19.
