CROSS-AUS: SHARING AND LEARNING FROM STRUCTURAL SAFETY ISSUES

摘要

CROSS-AUS (Confidential Reporting on Structural Safety - Australasia) is a confidential reporting scheme, managed and run independently by a team of Australian structural and civil engineers. It was established to capture and share lessons learned from structural safety issues which might not otherwise have had public recognition. It depends on individuals and organisations submitting reports in confidence of safety issues that they have experienced. Reports submitted to CROSS-AUS are completely confidential and neither personal details nor information that could be used to identify a project or product are seen by anyone other than the Designated Persons. Value is added to the reports by CROSS-AUS Expert Panel members who provide comments to help engineers learn from the experiences of others. Analysis of the reported safety issues can provide insight into how the safety concerns or events occurred and spur the development of measures to improve public safety.
