Traditional accident prevention strategies focus almost exclusively on the actions of front-line aviation personnel. This text argues for a broadened approach, which considers the influence of all organizations involved in aviation operations, in addition to individual human performance.
A systemic organizational approach to safety can replace the hitherto piecemeal approaches. The book uses four linked case studies to enable readers to achieve this. It introduces Reason's Model, applies it to the flight deck, aviation maintenance and air traffic control environment and suggests a set of practical tools for accident prevention.
