Watchlist 2014 - Risk of collisions on runways: There is an ongoing risk of aircraft colliding with vehicles or other aircraft on the ground at Canadian airports.
Watchlist 2014 - Loss of life on fishing vessels: The number of accidents involving loss of life on fishing vessels remains too high.
Watchlist 2014 - Safety management and oversight: Some transportation companies are not effectively managing their safety risks, and Transport Canada oversight and intervention has not always proven effective at changing companies' unsafe operating practices.
Watchlist 2014 - Following railway signal indications: There is a risk of a serious train collision or derailment if railway signals are not consistently recognized and followed.
Watchlist 2014 - On-board video and voice recorders: With no requirement for on-board video and voice recorders on locomotives, key information to advance railway safety may not always be available.
Watchlist 2014 - Transportation of flammable liquids by rail: The increase in the transportation of flammable liquids—such as crude oil—by rail across North America has created emerging risks that need to be effectively mitigated.
Watchlist 2014 - Approach-and-landing accidents: Every year, millions of successful landings occur on Canadian runways. However, there is a risk that accidents resulting in loss of life, injury, and aircraft damage can occur during the landing phase of flight.
Watchlist 2014: The TSB Watchlist 2014 identifies the safety issues that pose the greatest risk to Canada’s transportation system.
Watchlist 2012 - Following signal indications: The Canadian railway industry relies on visual signals to provide train crews with information. Unfortunately, if signals aren't followed, the CTC system can't automatically control, slow down or stop the train. The system only communicates instructions, it doesn't enforce them.
Watchlist 2012 - On-board video and voice recorders: To accurately piece together the sequence of events leading to an accident, we must understand exactly how the crew communicated and what actions took place in the cab. The only way to capture this information is by installing on-board voice and video recorders.
Watchlist 2012 - Passenger trains colliding with vehicles: Trains and vehicles routinely cross close to 15 000 railway crossings throughout Canada. But driving over a public crossing is not without risk.
Watchlist 2012 - Air safety management systems: A safety management system is an organization-wide framework for the management of risk where the organization would be required to actively search for hazards, assess risks and find ways and means of mitigating those risks.
Watchlist 2012 - Landing accidents and runway overruns: In Canada, an aircraft runs off the runway once a month on average. If we don't do anything to prevent landing accidents and runway overruns, passengers, crew and aircraft will continue to be placed at unnecessary risk.
Watchlist 2012 - Risk of collisions on runways: Airports are busy places. With runway incursions on the rise, more needs to be done to address the risk of collisions.
Watchlist 2012 - Collisions with land and water: Controlled flight into terrain is what happens when an otherwise sound aircraft, under pilot control, is unintentionally flown into the ground, a mountain, water, or an obstacle.
Watchlist 2012 - Marine safety management systems: Implemented properly, safety management systems (SMS) allow vessels and marine transportation companies to identify hazards, manage risks, and develop and follow effective safety processes.
Watchlist 2012 - Loss of life on fishing vessels: Every year, far too many fishermen lose their lives at sea. But if everyone works together—families, governments, businesses, fishing organizations in all regions of Canada—we can change the safety culture to one where the major concern is to engage in safe work practices.
Watchlist 2012: Chair Wendy Tadros and Board Member Kathy Fox announce the Transportation Safety Board of Canada's Watchlist 2012, which identifies the transportation safety issues that pose the greatest risk to Canadians.

The TSB's TSB corporate video: Canada is recognized internationally for having one of the safest transportation systems in the world. The work conducted by the Transportation Safety Board contributes to building safer waterways, railways, pipelines, and skies, not only in Canada, but around the world.
SECURITAS video: Transportation safety is important. Whether it’s on our waterways, along our pipelines or railways, or in our sky, everyone can keep an eye out for potentially unsafe acts or conditions when travelling or working. Anyone can confidentially report a safety concern through SECURITAS.
Blog launch video: From trains and planes to ships and pipelines, we have a lot of stories to tell. With the launch of our blog—the TSB Recorder—we're building a new way to share them: tsb.gc.ca/blog.
