About
Us
The National
Transportation Safety Committee was established by Presidential Decree
in 2012 (Perpres No.2
Tahun 2012), as a permanent independent institution
responsible to the President of Republic of Indonesia.
The
NTSC is responsible for the investigation of safety deficiencies of
aviation, maritime, railway and road transportation.
Based on the results of accident investigations, the NTSC issues
recommendations to prevent the recurrence of similar accidents. The
NTSC conducts research and studies necessary to perform these duties,
and to identify possible safety deficiencies (see
Investigation
Methodology).
The very important aspect of the investigation is that the
sole objective of the activity is to prevent accident/incident, not to
apportion blame or liability.
