This is in the field of occupational medicine and should not be confused with Aviation Safety unless there is immediate incapacitation of flight crew. If the latter occurred, then the ATSB, and for that matter CASA, would become involved.
Long term incapacitation as a result of exposure in the workplace is covered by all State and Commonwealth legislation as an Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) issue and is appropriately addressed as such.10
1.19 Opinion is divided on this issue within the ATSB. Mr Brett Leyshon of the ATSB supported the view of the flight attendants in relation to safety when he told the inquiry in evidence:
The crew are not simply there to direct passengers to seats and to serve meals. They serve an important safety function throughout the flight, even a normal flight. Removing those removes a layer of safety to the passengers in the cabin.11
1.20 Potential links between air safety and health effects resulting from exposure to fumes on the BAe 146 are discussed in Chapters 4 and 5 of this report.
1.21 The Committee has had regard to those confidential submissions made during the inquiry by individuals currently pursuing claims for compensation through appropriate means and in the appropriate tribunals. The submissions allege exposure to fumes on the BAe 146 to be the source of the illness and incapacity to continue work and of damage to health, careers or both.

CHAPTER TWO
THE BAe 146 AND AIR QUALITY

The aircraft
2.1 The BAe 146 aircraft was originally certified in the United Kingdom in 1983 and first entered service in 1984. The BAe 146 has been certified by 37 different national regulatory authorities, including Australia’s CASA.1
2.2 According to British Aerospace, as of November 1999 there were approximately 350 BAe 146 aircraft operated throughout the world by 52 operators.2 The ‘World Airline Census’ from the Flight International publication shows 205 BAe 146 aircraft of all series flown, both passenger and freight, by 36 operators.3 The Committee was also told that, as of November 1999 the BAe 146 had carried approximately 4.5 million passengers without a single fatality “due to the technical standard of this aircraft.”4
2.3 British Aerospace told the inquiry on 10 April 2000 that the company was
… proud of the fact that after 5.2 million flight hours the 146 fleet has
never suffered a fatal accident due to technical failure, which makes it one
of the safest aircraft in operation today.5
2.4 The Committee also notes that, according to accident reports carried in the Aviation Safety Network, as set out on their internet site, there have been four fatal accidents involving BAe 146 aircraft since 1987 and that 156 people in total were killed as a result of those accidents. The Committee notes British Aerospace’s evidence that there have been no fatal accidents involving the BAe 146 arising from the ‘technical standard’ of the aircraft.
