Human Factors in Maintenance - Phase I

Objective

To equip aviation maintenance technicians, supervisors and managers with the skills necessary to enhance safety, teamwork and efficiency in the workplace, and therefore, reduce aircraft maintenance errors. This workshop is in compliance with Transport Canada, FAA and EASA 145 requirements.

Description

The initial two-day, 16-hour workshop has been developed to give aviation technicians insight as to the human element that affects their judgment in the workplace. Central to the workshop is an in-depth discussion and examination of the Dirty Dozen, a variety of human factors such as complacency, distraction, fatigue, and stress, which all affect an individual’s decision making process. Through behavioral analysis and actual case studies, the workshop will demonstrate how safety nets, or countermeasures, can be instituted by the technicians to prevent incidents and accidents due to human error.
