The Transport Accident Investigation Commission Act 1990 is a New Zealand law that established the Transport Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC). This independent body is responsible for investigating transport accidents and incidents to improve safety in the aviation, maritime, and rail sectors. The Act aims to determine the causes of accidents without assigning blame, focusing on preventing future occurrences. Under this Act, the TAIC has the authority to conduct inquiries, gather evidence, and publish reports on its findings. The Commission works closely with various stakeholders, including government agencies and transport operators, to enhance safety standards and promote a culture of safety across all transport modes.
