Criticism of airline measures to address the fumes issue
4.62 Captain Kolver also informed the Committee that he believed exposure to fumes on the BAe 146 were the cause of his medium to long-term health problems and that he was incapacitated a second time after being exposed to fumes on a BAe 146 following the BASI report. In his evidence, Captain Kolver told the Committee he had not donned an oxygen mask when suffering ill effects from exposure to fumes because he had been assured by his safety manager, Mr Barry Lodge, that the fumes were not harmful. He also informed the Committee he suffered headaches and nausea and chemical sensitivity for periods between 10 days and two months after being exposed to fumes on a BAe. He gave an opinion that the problem stemmed from a “design problem with the engine”.62
4.63 The Australian Federation of Air Pilots in its submission criticised the Australian airline industry for the manner in which it has dealt with the problem of fumes on the BAe 146. Set out below are a number of quotes from the AFAP exhibiting its views:
…. the airline industry has failed to deal with this issue effectively and adequately and often used non-independent sources, misinterpretation of data, limited data, or often outdated and irrelevant information. Symptoms encountered and effects upon aircraft safety, have often been ignored, so as to reduce that apparent extent of the problem. While crew who have been effected to a more serious longer term degree have been isolated so as to ensure no long term nexus is made between aircraft fumes and occupational health issues. ….

While one of the airlines involved indicates that the acknowledged problem has been fixed, exposure incidents have continued to occur within the Australian BAe 146 fleet. It has only been through the efforts of concerned crew that the issue, has been investigated.63…
Ansett claims to have rectified the technical problem, via a series of modifications, yet it is understood that exposures have since occurred at Ansett as well as NJS where these modifications have not taken place. 64 …
While reviewing their own product/service, they have clearly placed priority on the issues of commercial, financial operations, liability and others, over work health and safety issues.
The recognition of the problem by industry has only developed as pressure has increased from growing numbers of effected crew, though limited to short-term health effects only, so as to reduce possible ramifications from such an acknowledgement. 65 …
… the issue of air contamination in the 146 cabin has now been accepted by Ansett associated with reported short-term symptoms. The commercial, operational and legal implications of recognising the full extent of the problem involving contaminated air on the BAe 146 would appear to be the reason the issue has not been resolved. 66 …
