Aviation Manager’s Toolkit: Understanding Safety Management Systems

About the Book

Are always good people doing good things and bad people doing bad things? What is organizational blindness, and how do you protect it? In this book, you will learn how good people do bad things even without recognizing it. Pressures in the aviation environment are explained. Real-life case studies are discussed, and the reader of the book is expected to have certain knowledge about the forces in organizations and a basic understanding of the aviation domain. Aviation SMS (Safety Management Systems) is the formal, top-down, organization-wide approach to managing safety risk and ensuring the effectiveness of safety risk controls. An aviation safety manager is required to understand these forces, and organizations are expected to realize their own blindness and manage these associated risks.
