- Accidents in commercial aviation are ______.
- “If one took no chances, one would not y at all. Safety lies in the judgment of the chances one takes.” Who said this?
- Anything that has the potential of causing “loss or injury” is referred to as a hazard, but the terms risk and hazard are so often used interchangeably it can cause confusion.
- Risk is frequently described as a combination of severity and probability or, sometimes, impact and likelihood.
- This approach is the more idealist absence of accidents view; the approach does not tolerate any compromise to safety—it is absolute in promoting the intrinsic value of human life.
- Who defines safety as the state in which harm to persons or of property damage is reduced to, and maintained at or below, an acceptable level through a continuing process of hazard identification and risk management.
- When accident reports were released, people would read, reflect, and relate to their own experience. Many unfortunate individuals paid the ultimate price which enabled the rest of the aviation community to learn and attempt to prevent reoccurrence. What type of safety is this?
- This type of safety means enacting what we do know and have learned and engaging safety stakeholders, promoting safety, and spreading the word. What type of safety is this considered?
- This type of safety means is not just an idealist’s wish list but an essential unpinning of future aircraft development. What type of safety is this considered?
- This program is designed to detect early indicators of potential safety problems and recommend improvement measures where appropriate.
- In trying to dene what is an acceptable level of safety for commercial aviation we almost immediately hit a barrage of social, economic, ethical, regulatory, and legal challenges.
- An acceptable level of safety (sometimes referred to as ALOS) represents that safety is a static process.
