Confidential Human Factors Incident Reporting Programme (CHIRP)

They aim to help improve aviation and maritime safety and build a Just Culture by managing an independent and influential programme for the confidential reporting of human factors-related safety issues.

CHIRP’s main objectives are to:

• gather information on the circumstances of incidents and accidents involving aviation and maritime modes of transportation through a confidential reporting system for the collection of Human Factors safety-related issues, to analyse data and identify trends.
• advise interested bodies on Human Factors issues relevant to air and maritime transport safety with the aim of the preservation of human life and the protection of the environment.

Every year, the findings culminate into an annual digest that breaks down the reports and distils insights from the data. Find out more about the annual digest and about their work and processes via the links below.
