Safety digests are a way of quickly sharing important safety messages when we have decided not to undertake a full investigation for any of the following reasons:

• the safety learning has already been covered by a previous recommendation or will be addressed by an ongoing investigation
• the safety learning mainly relates to compliance with existing rules, procedures or standards
