OSHA
Companies are required to provide a safe work environment that adheres to OSHA
standards and regulations. Business owners and managers can view OSHA's standards
and regulations on the organization's website. These regulations dictate how employees
should handle blood and other hazardous wastes, such as chemicals and chemical
byproducts. For example, one of the employer's responsibilities is to provide ready
access to soap and water or an antiseptic cleanser. A safe work environment also
includes abiding by regulations for noise levels, openings in floors and walls, and
operating certain types of equipment.
Under OSHA regulations, employers need to inform employees of potential hazards.
This means labels and warning symbols should be on any chemical containers. If a
chemical is potentially explosive or poisonous, it should be clearly marked. Employers
must also have a way to communicate standard operating procedures. Many
businesses choose to compile these procedures into manuals. Managers must
communicate any changes to safety regulations and procedures to the employees.
Safety training is another part of an employer's communication responsibility. All
employees should be instructed how to properly comply with OSHA safety regulations
and operating procedures.

AIRCRAFT OWNER/OPERATOR
You, as an aircraft owner, are assuming
responsibilities similar to those you have if you own an
automobile. Owning; an automobile usually means that
you must register it in your state of residence and
obtain license plates. As the registered owner of an
aircraft, you are responsible for:

1. Having a current Airworthiness Certificate and'

 
Certificate of Aircraft Registration in your aircraft.

2. Maintaining your aircraft in an airworthy condition

including compliance with all applicable AD's.

3. Assuring that maintenance is properly recorded.

4. Keeping abreast of current regulations concerning

the operation and maintenance of your aircraft.

5. Notifying the Civil Aviation Registry immediately of any change of permanent mailing
address, of the sale or export of your aircraft, or of the loss of your eligibility to register
an aircraft. (Refer to FAR Section 47.41.)
 6. Having a current FCC Radio Station License, if equipped with radios, including an
Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT).

EPA
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is an independent public body under the
aegis of the Department of Communications, Climate Action & Environment established
under the Environmental Protection Agency Act, 1992.
The EPA has a wide range of functions to protect the environment, with its primary
responsibilities including;

 Environmental licensing,
 Enforcement of environmental law,
 Environmental planning, education and guidance,
 Monitoring, analyzing and reporting on the environment,
 Regulating Ireland's greenhouse gas emissions,
 Environmental research development,
 Strategic environmental assessment,
 Waste management, and
 Radiological Protection.

FBI
The mission of the FBI is to protect and defend the United States against terrorist and
foreign intelligence threats, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States,
and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to federal, state, municipal, and
international agencies and partners; and to perform these responsibilities in a manner
that is responsive to the needs of the public and is faithful to the Constitution of the
United States.

The FBI's major priorities are to:

 Protect the United States from terrorist attack;

 Protect the United States against foreign intelligence operations and espionage;
 Protect the United States against cyber-based attacks and high-technology
crimes;
 Combat public corruption at all levels;
 Protect civil rights;
 Combat transnational and national criminal organizations and enterprises;
 Combat major white-collar crime;
  Combat significant violent crime;
 Support federal, state, county, municipal, and international partners; and to
 Upgrade technology to successfully perform the FBI's mission.

The major functions of the FBI are to:

 Conduct professional investigations and authorized intelligence collection to

identify and counter the threat posed by domestic and international terrorists and
their supporters within the United States, and to pursue extraterritorial criminal
investigations to bring the perpetrators of terrorist acts to justice. In furtherance of
this function, the FBI designs, develops, and implements counterterrorism
initiatives which enhance the FBI’s ability to minimize the terrorist threat.
 
 Conduct counterintelligence activities and coordinate counterintelligence
activities of other agencies in the intelligence community within the United States.
(Executive Order 12333 includes international terrorist activities in its definition of
counterintelligence.)
 
 Coordinate the efforts of U.S. Government agencies and departments in
protecting the nation’s critical infrastructure by identifying and investigating
criminal and terrorist group intrusions through physical and cyber-attacks.

UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE

 The U.S. Customs Service, an arm of the Treasury Department, is responsible
for ensuring that all imports and exports comply with U.S. laws and regulations.
 More specifically, Customs processes all the persons, baggage, cargo and mail
crossing the nation's borders; it interdicts and seizes contraband, including illegal
drugs; it assesses and collects duties, excise taxes, fees and penalties on
imported merchandise; it protects American business, labor and intellectual
property rights by enforcing laws intended to prevent illegal trade practices and it
enforces special import and export restrictions designed to control critical
technology used to develop weapons of mass destruction.
 In addition to its own laws, Customs enforces over 400 provisions of laws for
other U.S. agencies concerned about such matters as the environment, motor
vehicle safety, pesticides, water pollution standards and endangered wildlife.
 In regards to the criminal enforcement activities of Customs, drugs has become
dominant. One aspect of this work, according to the agency, is the seizure in
1998 of 954,936 pounds of marijuana, 157,035 pounds of cocaine and 2,934
pounds of heroin.
  The Customs Service in 1998 numbered slightly more than 20,000 employees,
about the same as it did in 1992. Of the 1998 total, 2,775 were criminal
investigators.

INSURANCE COMPANIES
In addition to the duties outlined in your policy, insurance companies have
responsibilities under both common law and statutory law. In general, the insurance
company owes you a duty of good faith and fair dealing when handling any transaction.
It also has the obligation to faithfully investigate and honor valid insurance claims.
Fair Deal
An insurance company's duty of good faith and fair dealing means it must always act in
the client's best interest. This responsibility, implied in all insurance agreements,
prevents the company from acting in bad faith in transactions involving your claim. If it
breaches this responsibility you are entitled to sue for damages.
General Duties
An insurance company has a legal duty to fully investigate your claim, not just the parts
that support their position. It must also provide you with all necessary information so you
can protect your claim under the policy. Additionally, the company must respond to your
communications and promptly pay your claim if it's found valid.
Insurance Contract
Your insurer must honor any responsibilities outlined in your policy. It's free to provide
you with rights above and beyond those provided by law, so your agreement may have
extra responsibilities. Additionally, if a provision in your policy is found to be ambiguous
it's interpreted by a court as being in your favor if there's a dispute.
Duty to Defend
Depending on the nature of your agreement, your insurer may have a duty to indemnify
or defend you under certain circumstances. The duty to defend provides you with legal
representation if you're sued. The duty to indemnify pays for any legal judgments
against you. Both are dictated by the terms of your policy..

UNITED STATES HOMELAND SECURITY

SERVICES
The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is a federal agency
designed to protect the United States against threats. Its wide-ranging duties include
aviation security, border control, emergency response and cyber security.
According to the DHS mission statement, the agency has five core homeland security
goals:

 Prevent terrorism and enhance security

 Secure and manage U.S. borders
 Enforce and administer U.S. immigration laws
 Safeguard and secure cyberspace
 Ensure resilience to disasters

As the number and scope of threats to U.S. interests from hackers have grown in recent
years, cyber terrorism prevention has become a key aspect of DHS homeland security
efforts. The DHS ensures civilian government computer systems are secure and works
with industry and state, local, tribal and territorial governments to secure critical
infrastructure and information systems. The DHS also analyzes cyber threats and
vulnerabilities, distributes cyber threat warnings and coordinates cyber incident
response.

CAAP INVESTIGATION BOARD

The Aircraft Accident Investigation and Inquiry Board (AAIIB) is directly under the
Office of the Director General of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines. The Head
of the AAIIB is responsible to The Director General for the management of all aircraft
accident/incident investigations conducted by the AAIIB.

The AAIIB is responsible for the investigation of air accidents and incidents involving
civil aircraft occurring within the Republic of the Philippines; or occurring outside the
Republic of the Philippines involving a Republic of the Philippines registered aircraft or
aircraft operated by a Republic of the Philippines Air Operator Certificate (AOC) holder.

The investigation conducted by AAIIB is independent of the investigations by judicial

authorities and of enforcement and legal entities that apportions blame and liability in
the Republic of the Philippines.

The key functions of the AAIIB are:

 To implement the Standards and Recommended Practices contained in Annex

13 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention).
 To conduct independent and objective investigation of accidents and incidents in
accordance with the Republic of the Philippines’ law and international best
practices.
