Time and time again they introduce a rule or guideline to control one narrow issue and fail to do a full identification of the effects everywhere in the ‘system’.

It really is about time FIA seriously looked at their safety and management culture to the proactive systems developed over 40 years ago.

The strange thing is that FIA claims to have ISO1400 Environmental Standards certification. A lot of the proactive, no blame, culture is an intrinsic part of that Environmental Standard, so should also have spread to the Safety and Rule making departments.
Maybe the just ‘talk the talk’ and don’t ‘walk the walk’.
