Safety in Aviation and Astronautics: A Socio-technical Approach

Simon Ashley Bennett

4.9/5 (18743 ratings)

Description:Aviation safety and astronautics safety are taught as technical subjects informed, for the most part, by quantitative methods. Here, as in other fields, safety is often framed as an engineering problem requiring mathematics-informed solutions. This book argues that the socio-technical approach, encompassing theories grounded in sociology and psychology - such as active learning, high-reliability organising, mindfulness, leadership, followership and empowerment - have much to contribute to the safety performance of these vital industries. It sets out to inspire professionals to embed the whole-system approach into design and operation regimen and demonstrates the potential reputational and financial benefits to manufacturers and operators that accrue from adopting a whole-system approach to design and operation.The book defines the socio-technical approach to risk assessment and management in aviation and astronautics (astronautics is taken to mean the design and operation of vehicles for use beyond the earth's atmosphere), then demonstrates the strengths and weaknesses of this approach through case studies of, for example, the Boeing 737MAX-8 accidents and the loss of the SpaceShipTwo orbiter. Grounding the discourse in familiar case studies engages busy aviation and astronautics professionals. The book's arguments are explained in such a way that they are readily comprehensible to non-experts. Key concepts are described within a glossary. Photographs, charts and diagrams illustrate key points.Written for a practitioner audience, specifically aviation and astronautics professionals, this book provides a valuable and accessible social sciences perspective on safety that will be directly relevant to their roles.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
