Abstract

The aim of this paper is the evolution of system safety approach in aviation, which consists in three main research areas: technical factors, human factors and organizational factors. As the airline traffic has risen rapidly in the last years, in countries around the world, there is a need to employ new methods and programs to drive down accident rates. Related to safety, major airlines have employed programs and activities to ward off accidents, in order to make better their records. This difficulty to assess the risk focuses in searching an equilibrium between reality and measurements and also in deciding which settlements have to be made, to reach the objectives.
