| Abstract |
Safety management systems were studied at four aircraft maintenance organizations. Studies included the analysis of documentation, qualitative interviews, surveys of safety climate and attitudes, expected response to incidents and compliance with task procedures. A self-regulatory model was proposed, which was effective in analyzing each organization's safety management system. Findings included a strong, relatively homogeneous professional sub-culture of aircraft technicians spanning the different organizations. Differences in safety attitudes and climate were found between occupational groups, though in the case of climate the differences between occupational groups were a function of the organization, suggesting a differentiated notion of safety culture. |
