Human factors

How we are working to reduce risks to aviation safety

Human factors (HF) and our understanding of its effects on safety performance continues to evolve and develop.

In order to reduce HF risks to aviation safety we must influence attitudes and behaviours while embedding HF thinking into everything we do.

By taking this approach, we aim to improve aviation safety and keep the interests of the consumer at the heart of our work.

If you have any feedback to give on the strategy or anything relating to human factors in civil aviation please contact us at human.factors@caa.co.uk.
