What are the two different types of threats?
- Observable Threats - For example in aviation, a strong crosswind
- Latent Threats - Factors residing in the system, organisation or individual that increase risk & are not directly observable in operations
What are the causes of most accidents in organisations?
Most accidents can be traced to one or more of four failure domains:
- Organisational influences
- Supervision
- Preconditions
- Specific acts
For example, in aviation, preconditions for unsafe acts include fatigued air crew or improper communications practices. Unsafe supervision encompasses for example, pairing inexperienced pilots on a night flight into known adverse weather. Organisational influences encompass such things as reduction in expenditure on pilot training in times of financial austerity.
What is the best way to manage a threat?
The best way to manage threats in any environment is to “Avoid, trap and mitigate” the threats. To avoid the threat it's all about Prevention and preparation. Plan for the worst case scenario. Have an action plan to minimise risk. Prepare for a crisis. Have in place a reputation monitoring system to identify emerging threats.
