What We Do
Approximately 4000 transportation occurrences (accidents and incidents) are reported to the TSB each year. These occurrences are wide-ranging -from accidents involving small aircraft to engine-room fires on ships, from pipeline ruptures to train derailments. When notified of an occurrence, the TSB will assess the circumstances to determine if an investigation is warranted; this assessment may involve the deployment of an investigation team to the occurrence site.
An individual occurrence will be investigated when there is high probability that an investigation will advance Canadian transportation safety, meaning there is significant potential for reducing future risk to persons, property or the environment. |

In addition, the TSB occasionally aids in foreign investigations and may represent Canadian interests in foreign investigations involving ships, pipelines, railway rolling stock or aircraft that are registered, licensed or manufactured in Canada. |
The TSB also monitors general trends and emerging safety issues. The Board reviews developments in transportation safety and identifies safety risks that it believes government and the transportation industry should address to reduce further injury and loss.
