Safety Studies are examinations topics such as the effectiveness of, or need for, actions by a Government agency in reducing transportation losses, the technical aspects of a transportation system, analysis of accident data, or the history and progress of transportation safety improvements. The study results in the issuance of a narrative report on the facts, conclusions and any applicable recommendations.
Special Investigations can be an information-gathering effort concerning predetermined subjects selected in support of safety studies, or an examination of technical issues and safety problems identified in one or more accident investigations.
