According to OTSI, the investigation will: Identify the factors, both primary and contributory, which lead to bus rollaway events; determine the effectiveness of any controls that are in place to manage the related risks; and advise on any matters arising that would enhance the safety of bus operations.
OTSI’s decision to initiate this systemic investigation follows a review of recent incidents and the findings of the abovementioned past investigations, it explains.
In recent years, OTSI has investigated several bus rollaway incidents, including those resulting in either fatalities or serious injuries, it says.
