Occurrence reports are a core data source used to inform the CAA decision and policy making, it also assists in setting State’s Strategic Safety Objectives and safety intelligence. Making frequent use of occurrence data helps to identify safety trends, hazards, risks and issues that have the potential to impact on the safety of the whole aviation system.

Occurrence reporting data once having reached maturity levels, can also be used to support numerous academic and aviation safety related studies through the provision of analysis and de-identified datasets. Organisations are encouraged to include occurrence reporting data bases within their Safety Management System.
