CHIRP

CHIRP (Confidential Human Factors Incident Reporting Programme) is an independent charity dedicated to improving safety in the air and at sea. Our primary focus is to ensure that individuals involved in aviation and maritime can share their safety concerns and report close-call incidents and lessons learned through our confidential reporting service without fear of being identified or harming their careers. If they agree to us contacting stakeholders, we will follow-up with the relevant organisations to ensure that the right actions are taken at the right time.

At CHIRP, we believe in creating a ‘just culture’ and how it can help make aviation and maritime safer places to work.

Your voice matters. Confidential, voluntary reporting provides a vital safety net for collecting reports that would otherwise have gone unwritten. Each report we receive has the power to improve safety standards and practices, whether it is from the findings of one report or when combined with others to identify wider trends and safety issues. Our team of experienced professionals reviews every report we receive and we publish our anonymised findings to raise awareness of safety concerns and to encourage stakeholders to take action where necessary.
