Definition Class 4 investigation:

Class 4 occurrence

A class 4 occurrence may have some important consequences. It may involve fatalities or serious injuries. There may be a small release of dangerous goods. There is moderate to minor damage to property and/or the environment. The occurrence attracts public interest within the immediate region or province/territory. The likelihood of identifying new safety lessons and of advancing transportation safety by reducing risks to persons, property, or the environment is low.

Basically this is the equivalent of an ATSB 'short' investigation.

To begin, this TSBC investigation took 9 months and 7 days to complete. Read the investigation webpage - HERE.
