Implementation of „Human Factors” in the safety analysis of human resource management process
The present article is based on the findings of scientific research conducted within the FP7-GALILEO-2011- GSA-1 project, acronym SHERPA (Support ad-Hoc to Eastern Region Pre-operational Actions in GNSS”[1]). The implementation of novel techniques and technologies triggered the requirement for preparation of a safety case, while generating a scientific problem of how this should be done. The working hypothesis adopted was verified both theoretically and empirically, while the obtained results allowed the development of a new model for assessing risks related to the implementation of satellite techniques and technologies for the purposes of aviation, upon which the safety case was built. The model was adopted at the international forum during the SHERPA project workshops (Eurocontrol and GSA). This article discusses only issues related to human factors, which are essential for the Safety Management System (SMS) and the subject of permanent certified trainings in the aviation industry. The model was developed which underwent positive empirical verification and became the subject of training offered to the Staff of the Voivodeship Inspectorate of Road Transport, for the first time in Poland. Based on scientific research conducted and its results, it can be concluded that the implementation of organizational, technical or legał solutions requires the safety case to be built using the model presented herein. Additionally, human factors training is an indispensable SMS element and it should be applied to every sphere of human activity, particularly those involving human resource management
