If accidents or near accidents nevertheless occur, a thorough investigation into the causes, irrespective of who are to blame, may help to prevent similar problems from occurring in the future. It is important to ensure that the investigation is carried out independently from the parties involved. This is why the Dutch Safety Board itself selects the issues it wishes to investigate, mindful of citizens’ position of dependence with respect to authorities and businesses. In some cases the Dutch Safety Board is required by law to conduct an investigation. Dutch Safety Board Chairman: T.H.J. Joustra E.R. Muller M.B.A. van Asselt Associate members of the Board: B.J.A.M.
