Description

Just as aircraft accidents are arguably never the result of a single causal factor, so too safe operations are rarely assured through single safety measures. Rather, it is a system of safety measures or defences that protect complex operating systems from accidents. This course considers the elements of aviation system safety including the theory of systems safety, modelling system safety, safety management systems, continuous monitoring, establishing and assessing safety culture and an introduction to risk management in aviation. In depth consideration is also given to the issue of regulating systems safety including methods of assessing compliance.
