Initial Safety Training - Human Factors and Human Performance

TS07 | 2 days

Current and emergent aviation Safety Training requirements specify that personnel at all levels of an organisation should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the safety management principles, human factors, and human performance issues in relation to their job function. In doing so supporting the fostering of a positive safety culture, but what does that really mean? Is your Safety Training programme just a ‘tick-box’ exercise to comply with the regulations, or would you like to see real and tangible benefits being delivered from fundamental shifts in your employees’ attitudes and behaviour?

Frequently asked questions

I had some Human Factors training a few years ago – do I need more training, and if so will this course be suitable?

If your previous training was two or more years ago, you will need to attend further training to comply with AMC 2 EU Part 145 A.30. (e). This two-day course reflects the latest thinking around Human Factors and will give you a comprehensive understanding of the subject, but if you have had more recent Human Factors training our one-day course (TS08) may be more suitable.

Is the in-house refresher training my company runs likely to be enough to comply with the regulation, or do I need to attend this course to be absolutely sure?

Refresher training is only suitable for those who have already attended initial training in Human Factors, i.e already have a good grasp of HF issues. Your in-house refresher training is unlikely to meet the initial training requirements of the EU Part 145.A.30 (e) regulation.

Does this course address all required topics as detailed in EU Part 145.A.30 (e), or are some topics missing?

The course covers the majority of the syllabus and can be tailored in-company to cover the remaining subjects, i.e your
organisation’s HF programme, disciplinary policy, etc. However due to the diverse range of organisations that attend the Baines Simmons academy, organisation specific HF policy cannot be covered for all. Consequently, attendees of academy courses will require in-house training in these areas when they return to their companies or as part of their pre-course training.
