    The "Dirty Dozen" refers to twelve common human factors that can contribute to errors and incidents, particularly in aviation and other high-risk environments. These factors are: Lack of communication, Distraction, Lack of resources, Stress, Complacency, Lack of teamwork, Pressure, Lack of awareness, Lack of knowledge, Fatigue, Lack of assertiveness, and Norms.

Requirements

  • No prior experience is necessary for this course. It is open to individuals involved in aviation, including airline staff, aviation professionals, those in aerospace, and UAV operators.

Description

Humans design, build, operate and maintain the aviation system. It is no wonder that the majority of aviation accidents and incidents have roots in human factors. With this realization comes the conclusion that quality human factors training is effective in improving safety. This course presents human factors information in a manner that can be readily understood and applied by aviation practitioners. Emphasis is placed on identifying the causes of human error, predicting how human error can affect performance, and applying countermeasures to reduce or eliminate its effects.

Training Operational Personnel in Human Factors. The emphasis is from the pilot’s perspective, but is applicable to all phases of aviation operations. The course relies heavily on participation, case studies, demonstrations, self-assessment and practical exercises.

Objectives: To provide class participants with human factors knowledge and practical tools that can be readily applied to improve safety within their respective organizations.

Who Should Attend: This course has been carefully designed to appeal to a wide-spectrum of professionals actively involved in aircraft operations. There is a special emphasis for safety managers, training, flight department and maintenance managers and supervisors, pilots, air traffic controllers, dispatchers, and schedulers, aircraft maintenance technicisan, base maintenace and other.
