FAA LAUNCHES VOLUNTARY REPORTING PROGRAM FOR SAFETY OFFICE
July 21, 2021
On June 21, 2021, FAA issued an order, available here, launching the Voluntary Safety Reporting Program (VSRP), for all Aviation Safety (AVS) personnel (i.e., engineers, safety inspectors, system safety specialists, and other aviation safety employees). This program provides an additional avenue for AVS employees to voluntarily report aviation-safety-related issues and concerns confidentially. The program will provide a non-punitive mechanism for AVS employees to report issues that may otherwise have gone unnoticed due to fear of repercussion.
