Course Summary
The aviation industry is risky due to the nature of the service provided. Risks and hazards can occur for a number of different reasons, but a primary reason is human error. Human influence in any situation leaves a small possibility of error, which can often be tied down to an individual’s particular skills, capabilities, and limitations.
Human factors is a science that explores how the human mind works regarding employment. Each individual will have skills, abilities, and limitations that have developed throughout life due to positive and negative influences. Human factors attempt to comprehend how these apply within the workplace and how certain traits will influence how an individual responds to a task or adapts to situations of struggle.
The aviation environment is constantly changing, which requires individuals capable of adapting rapidly and responding efficiently in times of stress. It is crucial to acknowledge each individual’s capacity to change and evaluate a variety of methods that can aid in developing skills to make people more suitable for the working environment. This process should be conducted to preserve and improve overall health and safety within the organisation.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the vitality of recognising human risk elements in aviation organisations.
