Human Factors Initial (excluding Safety Management Systems)

Human Factors for those already with a valid Safety Management training.

In accordance with GM1 145.A.30(e) & GM2 CAMO.A.305(g) (exc. Module 1a)

This course is specifically structured for personnel who have already completed standalone Safety Management System (SMS) training. By omitting Module 1a (Safety Risk Management), this streamlined syllabus avoids redundant content while fulfilling all core Human Factors mandates under EASA GM1 145.A.30(e) and GM2 CAMO.A.305(g).

Human Factors Training for Aviation Maintenance

Why This Course Matters

An SMS provides the structure, but human beings execute the work. Understanding fatigue, communication breakdowns, and organisational pressure is what keeps your defences intact.

We skip basic safety management concepts to focus purely on human performance capabilities, psychological triggers, workplace ergonomics, and behavioural dynamics on the hangar floor, apron, and workshop.

What You’ll Cover

Our focused curriculum translates theoretical human performance models into practical aviation habits:

Safety Culture & Organisational Culture: How company norms, peer pressure, leadership attitudes, and Just Culture principles shape individual behaviour and open reporting.
Human Error Models & Mechanics: Exploring Reason’s Swiss Cheese Model, the SHELL model, and the distinction between slip, lapse, mistake, and violation.
The "Dirty Dozen" in Aviation Maintenance: Identifying and neutralising the 12 classic precursors to error, including Lack of Communication, Complacency, Distraction, and Pressure.
Physiological & Psychological Factors: Managing sleep hygiene, circadian rhythm disruptions, fatigue, stress, physical fitness, and environmental stressors.
Workplace Ergonomics & Task Design: How physical layout, tool accessibility, manual handling, and technical documentation design influence error rates.
Communication & Team Dynamics: Assertiveness techniques, handover protocols, shift-change briefs, and overcoming authority gradients within maintenance teams.
Situational Awareness & Decision-Making: Developing real-time hazard perception and maintaining situational awareness during complex maintenance tasks.

Who is This Training For?

This module provides focused initial or recurrent Human Factors training for personnel who already hold valid SMS certification, including:

Part-145 Maintenance Engineers & Certifying Staff performing routine servicing, overhauls, or line maintenance.
CAMO Technical Personnel & Planners preparing work packs, maintenance programmes, and modification directives.
Workshop, Logistics, & Stores Personnel handling sensitive avionics, components, and hardware.
Quality Auditors & Safety Inspectors evaluating human performance risks across maintenance environments.
