Starting With Safety Culture From the Beginning
Safety culture in the aviation industry has many forms.
For me, however, I know it as one very rigid form.
Being an Aircrew Flight Equipment Specialist in the Air Force, there can be no mistakes. For me, indoctrination in safety culture started in technical school with the cadre constantly reminding us that our job will save the lives of the pilots and aircrew under our charge.
One of my instructors shared a story, which to this day sticks with me every time I pack a parachute.
