Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although much has been written about the occupational hazards confronting the cockpit crew, very little has been written on the occupational hazards faced by aviation maintenance and ground support personnel. This book fills this void by describing those hazards, their remediation, and their prevention. This important resource describes the different exposures and hazards in the aviation industry, including those of a chemical, physical, physiochemical, biological, or psychosocial nature. Biomedical engineers, physicians, nurses, flight surgeons, and aviation medical examiners will find this book to be a useful reference.

This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: A+, , language: English, abstract: This paper evaluates an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHMS) of an airline. Ultimately, the goal of the Safety Management System (SMS) for the airline is to prevent accidents and harm. But aviation operations will always be subject to operational hazards and their associated risks, and the SMS provides a systematic approach for reducing these risks as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) to an acceptable level by reducing their probability and/or consequence. Therefore, the SMS is designed to be a dynamic foundation that goes beyond compliance to continually improve safety performance in practice. Still, this coordinated business approach to safety also provides significant additional benefits, including proactive management of change, operational efficiencies, and employee engagement. However, the airline is a complex organisation with multiple management systems, dispersed operations, many technical functions, highly regulated-overlapping State jurisdiction, and is subject to multiple national regulations. Besides, there are multiple management systems supported by different departments in an airline.

Book excerpt: Much of the previous literature in the field of safety focuses on either the technical equipment issues or the human performance factors that contribute to the active failures in safety-critical systems. However, this book provides guidance in the moral or ethical aspects of decision-making that perpetuate many of the latent failures in safety-critical systems. The book provides a concise introduction to the ethical foundations and follows up with case studies from aviation, healthcare, and environmental and occupational health.

Book excerpt: In Safety Culture: Building and Sustaining a Cultural Change in Aviation and Healthcare, the four authors draw upon their extensive teaching, research and field experience from multiple industries to describe the dynamic nature of a culture-change process, particularly in safety-critical domains. They use a stories to numbers approach that starts with felt experiences and stories of certain change programs that they have documented, then proceed to describe the use of key measurement tools that can be used to analyze the state of a change program. The book concludes with a description of empirical models that illustrate the dynamic nature of change programs.

Download or read book Aviation Mental Health written by Todd Hubbard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an authoritative and practical guide to the assessment, management, treatment and care of pilots and other professional groups within aviation; covering a range of relevant topics, for health and human resources practitioners working in the airline industry. Pilot mental health has, hitherto, been regarded as a specialist topic in aviation medicine. Consequently, practitioners and researchers alike have been forced to consult specialist journals or seek out a relevant chapter on this topic in a general textbook to develop or update their understanding of the relevant issues. This book seeks to remedy this situation by gathering together all of the relevant insights into a single authoritative source gathered from the leading specialists in the field. It aims to cover all of the main relevant issues including the assessment, care, management and treatment of mental health problems, as well as the prevention of mental health problems among this occupational group.
Download or read book Occupational Health and Safety On Board Aircraft written by Civil Aviation Authority and published by . This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document provides guidance to aircraft operators and others involved in the operation of aircraft on good practice that may be applied in order to meet the health and safety obligations of the Civil Aviation (Working Time) Regulations 2004. The guidance contained in this document is not mandatory; however, employers have an obligation to comply with the Regulations. This document may be seen as providing a means of compliance with the Regulations and aircraft operators that observe its provisions will be following good practice and will normally find that this satisfies the requirements of the law. Employers are free to adopt alternative methods if they believe that these will achieve compliance with the Regulations. The guidance is directed toward specific occupational hazards that exist on-board aircraft. It suggests control measures and good practice that might be adopted to manage these risks. The guidance offered may also be relevant to related activities such as ground handling operations and other activities closely associated with the operation of the aircraft. Operators should consider developing comprehensive health and safety systems that protect all persons involved in the operation of their aircraft. Many of the hazards faced by crew members also pose a risk to others on-board the aircraft (e.g. passengers and, while the aircraft is on the ground, ground staff) and these should be encompassed within a comprehensive system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. healthcare system is now spending many millions of dollars to improve "patient safety" and "inter-professional practice." Nevertheless, an estimated 100,000 patients still succumb to preventable medical errors or infections every year. How can health care providers reduce the terrible financial and human toll of medical errors and injuries that harm rather than heal? Beyond the Checklist argues that lives could be saved and patient care enhanced by adapting the relevant lessons of aviation safety and teamwork. In response to a series of human-error caused crashes, the airline industry developed the system of job training and information sharing known as Crew Resource Management (CRM). Under the new industry-wide system of CRM, pilots, flight attendants, and ground crews now communicate and cooperate in ways that have greatly reduced the hazards of commercial air travel. The coauthors of this book sought out the aviation professionals who made this transformation possible. Beyond the Checklist gives us an inside look at CRM training and shows how airline staff interaction that once suffered from the same dysfunction that too often undermines real teamwork in health care today has dramatically improved. Drawing on the experience of doctors, nurses, medical educators, and administrators, this book demonstrates how CRM can be adapted, more widely and effectively, to health care delivery. The authors provide case studies of three institutions that have successfully incorporated CRM-like principles into the fabric of their clinical culture by embracing practices that promote common patient safety knowledge and skills.They infuse this study with their own diverse experience and collaborative spirit: Patrick Mendenhall is a commercial airline pilot who teaches CRM; Suzanne Gordon is a nationally known health care journalist, training consultant, and speaker on issues related to nursing; and Bonnie Blair O'Connor is an ethnographer and medical educator who has spent more than two decades observing medical training and teamwork from the inside.
