How should we organize our selection or training procedures? In
what way can a flight crew mediate problems? How are we to
understand reported errors? Mechanisms in the Chain of Safety
presents recent findings in aviation psychology, bringing fresh
insights to such questions. Aviation psychologists study personnel
selection and training; they evaluate the management of flight
operations, and ultimately they analyse the things that went wrong.
The strong interrelation between these components allows us to talk
about a chain of safety. This volume appraises this chain of safety
by considering the mechanisms that determine its effectiveness -
input mechanisms, coping mechanisms and control mechanisms. Each
contribution discusses a component of the chain while the book as a
whole emphasizes and illustrates that understanding the connections
between these parts is essential for the future. By addressing
these issues the book leads to further considerations such as how
mistakes are linked to training and how coping mechanisms should
help us to understand errors and accidents. Mechanisms in the Chain
of Safety will appeal to aviation professionals (human factors
experts, safety managers, pilots, ATCOs, air navigation service
providers, etc.) and academics, researchers, graduates and
postgraduates in human factors and psychology. Although primarily
written for the aviation industry, this book will also be of
interest to other high-risk dynamic activities that face similar
challenges: the need to present effective and safe outcomes to the
public in general and the stakeholders in particular.
