The Committee also recommends that registration of BAe 146 aircraft operating in Australia be reviewed, and that renewal of Air Operating Certificates and registration of the BAe 146 be subject to completion of those recommended modifications as a condition for continued registration of the aircraft.
Appropriate tests for chemicals present in aircraft cabins
Recommendation 3
The Committee believes that development of an appropriate and accurate test for the presence of any chemical fumes in aircraft cabins is essential. The Committee accordingly recommends that CASA liaise with operators to develop a standardised, compulsory monitoring program which provides for testing cabin aircraft air during fume events.
Occupational Health & Safety – occupational health issues
6.37 The Committee notes from the evidence it has received the considerable concern amongst a number of aircrew and medical specialists that some aircrew might experience health effects, both short term and possibly long term, from exposure to cabin and cockpit air in the BAe 146 aircraft.
6.38 The Committee heard evidence from operators of the BAe 146, particularly from Ansett, that the monitoring of the health affects on aircrew flying in the BAe 146 aircraft is now part of operational routine. The Committee held discussions with medical personnel who were employees of or consultants to airlines, and who have treated a number of individuals who claim to suffer, in several cases, severe and debilitating health affects resulting from exposure to fumes and cabin air on the BAe 146.
6.39 The Committee notes also other evidence presented to the inquiry that testing of human health and medical support for affected flight crew has not been adequate. The majority of affected flight crew who gave evidence to the inquiry asserted that medical examiners appointed by the operators deny they suffer from medical problems related to the BAe 146 and have recommended refusal of support or compensation.
6.40 The Committee is aware that several flight crew lost employment due to ill health they attribute to fume exposure and that their employers have opposed and may have unnecessarily delayed the settlement of employees’ compensation and insurance claims.
6.41 The Committee observes the response of the airline operators, particularly Ansett, who have attempted, as yet without complete success, to establish the exact cause of reported symptoms suffered by flight crew. The Committee considers that occupational health and safety standards in Australia should accordingly be carefully assessed to better ensure that the effects of long term exposure to aircraft cabin air are recognised.
6.42 Accordingly, the Committee believes it is appropriate that a clinical investigation be initiated to ascertain whether possible health effects are caused by exposure of air crew and passengers to contaminated aircraft cabin air.
Recommendation 4
That the issue of cabin air quality be reviewed by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission with a view to including aerotoxic syndrome in appropriate codes as a matter of reference for future Workers Compensation and other insurance cases.
