Becoming A Cabin Safety Inspector
Course Info
Course Summary
Within the aviation industry, there is a heavy focus on maintaining the highest health and safety standards. Various laws and regulations are dedicated to ensuring the safety of all aircraft during each stage of their service. Cabin safety inspections are regularly conducted to ensure all aircraft comply with these regulations.
Cabin safety inspections are a vital step in the flying process, as they ensure the entire aircraft is fit for purpose and can safely provide its service. These inspections are carried out by cabin safety inspectors alongside auditors and risk analysts. To be efficient at inspections, an individual must be capable of paying close attention to detail and be attentive and knowledgeable about legal standards.
Cabin safety inspectors must also be competent in the entire risk auditing process. This process contains several stages that all contribute to audit success. Inspectors should be well versed in each stage and its expectations and confident in writing and providing reports based on the audit findings. These reports should analyse the information gathered and recommend the most effective corrective actions.
