Web-Enabled Safety System

摘要

The Web-Enabled Safety System (WESS), with complete, on-line mishap reporting and data retrieval for non-aviation mishaps, went "live" July 12, 2004. It will simplify and bring into the 21st century field and fleet mishap- and hazard-reporting procedures and safety data analysis. It will be a major improvement over its predecessor, WESS 1, and all previous PC-based and naval message-reporting methods. When fully implemented, WESS will capture reports and identify the who, what, when, where, how, and why of mishaps and hazards. It also will allow users to enter mishap and hazard notifications, route them through the proper releasing chain for validation, and electronically submit them to the Naval Safety Center. Upon receiving the data, the Naval Safety Center will give it a quality-assurance review and then store it in a consolidated database so it is available for retrieval -WESS users will be able to access a variety of data report options.
