Learning is a key part of safety. It is vital for every organisation to have the right mindset to continuous improvement. It takes a lot of commitment to want to know what is happening in your operations - where the gap exists between what you imagine and the day-to-day reality. Then when things go wrong, encourage conversations about that, do effective investigations and continually change how you operate to apply what you have learned. Finally, its vital to have a Just Culture to help create the trust your staff needed to feed your organisation's learning.
Conversation Aviation - Magazine and Other Promotional Material
EASA developed the Conversation Aviation Magazine as a collaborative approach to safety learning for the Commercial Air Transport aeroplane community. The aim is to cover all domains: aerodrome, ATM, cabin crew, flight operations, ground handling and maintenance.
The magazine is aimed at Safety Managers and we encourage you to use the magazine for promoting safety in your own organisations. You can use any of the articles, rewrite them or adjust them as needed to fit your operation.
