Introduction
Aviation is a people business and people have the potential to commit errors. The challenge is to understand and manage this exposure in the best possible way.
Our industry requires the strongest possible system to manage human performance throughout the business. Sofema Aviation Services maintains a firm belief in a top-down management-driven approach to an effective organisation safety culture which together with an effective change management process will support the reduction in HF exposure and deliver increased efficiency as well as help to reduce cost.
We need to understand the challenges we face related to Human Factors in our aviation system is fundamental to the effective performance of the organization.
