You will also learn about standards and practices for safety management with reference to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and CASA. You will recognize a systematic approach that is established using four main components including Safety Policy, Safety Assurance, Safety Risk Management, and Safety Promotion to manage safety and how human factors are related within the four components of safety. You will also develop a solid understanding of safety culture and its associated subcultures.
