This year’s workshop will be the “Human & Organization Factors in Aviation Maintenance”. This workshop developed by Norbert Belliveau for the Atlantic AME Association is one of two workshops developed by Norbert to meet the requirement of Human Factors Training every 3 years as prescribed under CARs 573.06(1),(2),(3),(4) & (5).
The workshop is continuously reviewed and revised to include updated materials.
FACILITATOR
This workshop will be facilitated by Bob Whittle
Bob Whittle
Bob has 47 years in aviation that all began through Royal Canadian Air Cadets and then with Fundy Aviation, Saint John NB.
Bob has worked as an AME, Crew Chief, Production Manager, Trainer, Aircraft Maintenance Instructor, and Company Base Aviation Safety Officer.
Bob is an active member of the AME Association Atlantic and has been a volunteer on many ARAMC committees over the years.
Bob was involved at the early stages of development of Human Factors in Aircraft Maintenance and realized the value of HF training in aviation early on in his career. He has co-facilitated and solo facilitated HF workshops across Canada from St. John’s, NL to Vancouver, BC as well as the United States.
As the academic views of Human Factors continues to evolve, science worldwide has started to recognize that the errors is not just caused by “bad people” but more so of “normal people” who perform “normal work” within a specific context. This shift in thinking is analyzed in the “Human Factors & System Safety Program” at Lund University in Sweden and has been a monumental advancement in regard to the philosophy of error attribution & aviation safety.
This one-day workshop has been developed in efforts to broaden your knowledge and increase your awareness to the fact that errors are normal within working environments. Mitigation can only begin when sense-making is understood from the view of individuals who err and errors become acceptable within the industry.
This One-Day workshop developed by the Atlantic AME Association in 2010 entitled “Human & Organizational Factors in Aviation Maintenance” will broaden your knowledge and increase your awareness to the facts that organizational factors also plays a key role in aviation maintenance errors and mitigation.
