Sirius 196 Illusions of Safety II So-called prescriptive regulation is frequently portrayed as being the first form of safety assurance and that the ‘new’ systems of safety management are a superior evolution in safety assurance. The part truth of this is that safety management in the aviation industry has concentrated on accidents that have occurred and on making recommendations to ensure that they do not happen again. Now that accident rates are so low, it is reasonable in order to seek further safety improvement, to concentrate on safety process which is a forte of the SMS method. de Rob Hunter

Sirius 194 Aviation Managers' Perceptions Concerning Human Factors In order to establish how managers have developed their perceptions with regard to HF, it is important to investigate the critical role managers play within the industry.

Due to their position, managers guide and implement strategies and practices that aim to increase safety and other related activities (Delfmann, 2005). de Miguel Silveira
