The Facts Present rates of air traffic growth and current accident rates will produce a catastrophic incident every week by the year 2010. The Questions Can it happen to you? if no – why not? If yes, what can you do about it? Safety Human Error in aircraft maintenance is a major contributor to operational incidents which threaten safety. To take a single example: a study of 200 such incidents showed that some 60% of them were caused by incorrect assembly. Costs Even errors which do not comprise safety can be expensive. it is estimated that every hour of delay can result in $10,000 of lost business, customer dissatisfaction and operational costs. For most airlines this amounts to many millions of dollars each year. Understanding the Answers This video programme, produced by IFA – The International Federation of Airworthiness, examines these issues. With the guidance of Professor James Reason, a world authority on Human Factors Error Management the programme suggests the way ahead. - An explanation of why defences fail. - Why safety managements need a Just Culture in the workplace. - Strategies to remove error provoking conditions before they can
cause harm. |
