5 FOREWORD Komite Nasional Keselamatan Transportasi, KNKT (National Transportation Safety Committee, NTSC) is no blame, independent, multimode safety investigation body within the Republic of Indonesia responsible directly to the President of the Republic of Indonesia. KNKT has the main duty of conducts objective and independent transport safety investigation (investigation) for four modes of transportation which are; aviation, railway, road and marine transportation. KNKT investigation is intended to prevent similar occurrence in the future without implying blame or liability. KNKT investigation in aviation is to conduct objective and independent investigation of civil aircraft accident and serious incident under the provision of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 13. The purpose of this guideline is to encourage the uniform application of the Standards and Recommended Practices contained in Annex 13 and to provide information and guidance to KNKT investigators on the procedures, practices and techniques that can be used in aircraft accident investigations. Since accident investigations vary in complexity, this guideline cannot cover all eventualities. The more common techniques and processes, however, have been included. Because this guideline deal with both accident and serious incident investigations and, for reasons of brevity, the term accident, as used herein, applies equally to serious incident. Throughout this guideline, the use of the male gender should be understood to include male and female persons. Although this guideline will be of use by experienced and inexperienced investigators alike, it is not a substitute for investigation training and experience. This guideline will be amended periodically as new investigation techniques are developed and new information becomes available. Readers are invited to submit material for possible inclusion in subsequent editions of this guideline. This material should be addressed to: Komite Nasional Keselamatan Transportasi; Gedung Kementerian Perhubungan lantai 3, Jalan Medan Merdeka Timur Nomor 5, Jakarta Indonesia or to knkt@dephub.go.id. Jakarta, 21 August 2017 Dr. Ir. Soerjanto Tjahjono Chairman

14 2.3 Personal Protective Equipment The accident is apt to occur anywhere: at airports, in mountains, swamps, deeply wooded areas, deserts, etc. Hardships are often encountered in reaching accident sites in remote areas, and it is therefore important that investigators be physically fit and that working gear be selected with due consideration to terrain and weather. Identifying the most suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) for accident investigation shall consider task requirements and varying weather conditions. The following provides general guidelines on the personal protective equipment to be used by accident investigators at the accident site. The protective equipment may also be required when performing off-site examinations and tests on wreckage parts. a. Disposable latex gloves. Latex gloves should be durable even though they are to be worn under work gloves. b. Work gloves. Work gloves should be as durable as practical and provide the hand, wrist and forearm with puncture and abrasion protection. Leather, nitrile and kevlar gloves are commonly used. c. Face masks. Face masks should cover the nose and mouth. Masks come in disposable and reusable configurations. d. Protective goggles. Protective goggles should enclose the eyes by sealing around the top, bottom and sides. Goggles should be fitted with one-way check valves or vents to prevent fogging. e. Disposable protective suits. Protective suits should be durable and liquidresistant and should fit properly. If possible, they should have elastic-type hoods and elastic pant cuffs. Duct tape can be used to alter the suits and to patch tears. f. Disposable shoe covers and protective boots. Disposable shoe covers made of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) or butyl rubbers are recommended. Leather, rubber or Gortex work boots are also acceptable. g. Biological hazard disposal bags. Biological hazard disposal bags must be used for disposal of contaminated personal protective equipment.

If the biological hazard bag is not available, it may be substituted with plastic bag. Mark or label Biological Hazard shall be used. h. Disinfection chemicals. Two chemical types are commonly used to disinfect personal protective equipment. Rubbing alcohol of 70 percent strength is effective and is available in towelettes, as well as in large hand towels. The most effective disinfectant solution is a mixture of common household bleach and water, with one part bleach to ten parts of water. Never mix alcohol and bleach. Given the variable nature of aircraft accidents and the conditions in which investigators work, it is difficult to produce a definitive list of PPE. However, a generic list is described in this chapter for use as guidance. Advice may be sought from health and safety specialists to confirm the suitability of any changes or to help identify additional suitable equipment. 2 nd Edition Revision: 0 Page:

15 When setting control measures at the site, PPE should only be introduced after other controls have been considered. These could include the isolation, removal or covering of hazards, suppression of dust and fibers, and restriction of entry to hazardous areas. For detail refer to the Safety at the Accident Site Guideline. Wearing of PPE may pose health and safety hazards due, for example, to heat stress, restriction of visibility, and hampered respiration. Types and specifications of approved PPE vary internationally and personnel should confirm the equipment most appropriate to the tasks to be undertaken.
