described as:
When a force is applied (Stress) it will
produce a deformation (Strain) in the

Alcohol
Simple molecule, when taken orally requires
no digestion
Water speeds up absorption whilst foods
high in protein slow the rate of absorption
Alcohol is a sedative –hypnotic drug, and
can have a damaging effect on the human
body
ALCOHOL

Dependant -Alcoholic.
The removal/withdrawal of alcohol from this
individual results in psychomotor agitation.
The earliest and most common signs of
withdrawal are:
Anxiety
Anorexia
Insomnia

ALCOHOL

When using height adjustable work platforms, the following precautions
should be observed:
Steady feet in position before raising –if fitted
Never overload the platform. safe working load (SWL) will be indicated on
the side of the platform
Never overbalance the platform –load evenly, distributed on top
Always ensure guardrails are in position
When raising/lowering, ensure personnel and aircraft structures are clear
Protect structure from platform damage using fender cushions (rubber
protective fenders)
Keep gap between structure and platform as narrow as possible
Use safety locks when raised into position

Error Theories and
Models,
. . . staying safe. . .
137
HUMAN FACTORS
Why do we study Human Factors?
“in the last 10 years, the annual average (of
maintenance related incidents) has
increased more than 100% while the
number of flights has increased by less
than 55%”
Being aware of actions/ non actions that can
lead to an accident . . .
138
HUMAN ERROR MODELS AND
THEORIES
There are many models in the aviation
industry that seek to improve the
safety culture
Human Error Models and Theories aid
the understanding of Human Factors
If we can understand the reasons why
accidents happen –surely we can
work towards avoiding them?

Latent Failure:
A failure/ accident waiting to happen
A wrong decision by line management

from the accident
