Safety Chats Podcast

Finite games have a beginning, an end, and a winner (think baseball, basketball, poker). Safety is not one of these. Safety is an infinite game. A game with no end and no winner. We may never finish our pursuit of safety but  in this week's episode we look at the skills we can master to continue striving.

When we outsource part of our flight department's services, rather that be maintenance, FBO, catering, etc,  we inevitably lose oversight of the task. Today we look at what we can be doing to ensure we are not letting risk come into our operations through these providers. Where do you outsource and what kind of oversight do you have? Do you evaluate them to ensure they are following standards? Do you have safeguards in place?

There are safety related events your organization has little or no direct control over but you CAN influence them. Think unstable approaches, misfuellings, altitude excursions, etc. In this episode we take a look at process and outcome based metrics and encourage you to ask the question, "What can we do to influence these outcome based events?"

As we near the six month point of 2022 it's a good time to look at how your organization is doing on its objectives. Now may be a great time to go back and look at the effectiveness of the objectives you have or to create new objectives. In this episode we ask the question, "What is your organization doing to improve safety?" We'll encourage you to write them down. Let everyone know. How? In the form of outcome or process based objectives!

How will you deal with someone who willing violates an SOP? If we hold the organization accountable for the systems they design it must also hold true that employees should be held accountable for the choices they make. This week we discuss the idea of  what makes a just culture within an organization, a culture where every employee feels they are treated justly.  Does your organization need a formal process to determine if the accountability lies with a person or the organization?

Accidents are intrinsically filled with emotion and we need to ensure we have a thorough plan so we can respond appropriately.  This week we remind ourselves not only of the importance of having an emergency response plan in place, but the necessity of the coordination and documentation of that plan.
