Flightfax: Army Aviation Risk-Management Information; Volume 27, Number 10. October 1999. Safety is a Leader's Job

Abstract

Despite a long and successful tradition of work into the important relationship between safety and individual aspects of behavior and attitudes, wider organizational factors have only recently been clearly identified as contributing significantly to accident causation. This does not necessarily mean that organizational causes of accidents are a new phenomenon in Army operations; these factors have almost certainly been present since the earliest days of military operations. However, what has changed in recent years has been our thinking about the human origins of accidents, Safety culture is one such concept that explicitly addresses the wider social causes of accidents, and thus represents a departure from the to safety.
