NOT a duty of the SIB?

• A. Continue to collect evidence
• B. Continue to interview witnesses
• C. Make formal disciplinary recommendations to authorities
• D. Analyze evidence to determine: Factors, Findings, and Causes

Answer: (C)

The safety investigation board’s job is to determine what happened and why from a safety standpoint. It continues to collect evidence and interview witnesses to build a complete, accurate picture, and it analyzes all the evidence to identify factors, findings, and causes. Disciplinary actions, however, are outside the investigative scope. While the board may issue safety recommendations to prevent recurrence, it does not make formal disciplinary recommendations to authorities. That aspect lies with the relevant regulatory or organizational authorities.
