This refers to the accidents in the early morning near the Rawang toll plaza last week. Six lives were lost including the co driver. Yesterday the bus drivers were brought to courts.
• Punitive measures alone will not help to reduce the incidents.
• We have seen many accidents before. And the drivers were also dealt with in accordance to the law. But the accidents keep on happening.
• Something is amiss here. Did we overlooked something basics here.
• Those accidents are they the problems or are they the symptoms to the bigger problems.
• Let's benchmarked with the transport mode that have the best safety records. The air transportion.
• Air transportation have the following system in place:
~ Comprehensive law
~ Procedures on ownership
~ Registration of aircrafts
~ maintenance of aircrafts,
~ flight operations,
~ air and ground safety,
~ training,
~ licensing
~ And last but not least an enforcement agency that bites.
~ trade associations
~ consumer associations
~ close rapport between manufacturers, operators, employees and the consumers.
• The whole system is functioning well in air transportation
• Perhaps the road transport authority should learn from their air transport conterpart in the same ministry on the systems development.
• System thinking rather than fire fighting.
