Why Language Matters in Transport Safety by PACTS

The following text was taken from Why Language Matters In Transport Safety by PACTS

Language matters in transport safety—not just in what is reported, but how.

Language is never neutral. It reflects our values, our assumptions, and our priorities.
As transport safety professionals, we hold influence in how collisions are understood and how change is pursued. Deaths and serious injuries in the transport system don’t have to be inevitable. Choosing our words with the same care we give in our daily work of designing, building, managing, or delivering can make all the difference to long term outcomes.
