Triage system for incident reports
Marie made this Official Information request to Maritime New Zealand
The request was partially successful.
From: Marie
Dear Maritime New Zealand,
Please provide:
1. The policy/manual used to “triage” MTA s31 incident reports and any associated procedure manuals. I understand there is a 1-4 scale for this. Include the explanation of what each stage would entail.
2. Please provide the previous “triage” documents/policy manuals used prior to implementing this new system.
3. Please advise what triage ranking (1-4) that the July 2022 Riverton accident was given. MNZ said this incident didn’t meet the threshold for them to investigate.
4. Please provide investigation manual/policy and procedures documents outlining each step of an investigation, including preliminary initial enquires by a Maritime Officer. Ie Would a Maritime officer talk to the skipper before recommending to his superior to investigate.
Thanks
Yours faithfully,
Marie
