Aviation safety is a subject which affects us all, whether as employees, passengers or even external third parties. This case study of Australian aviation is aimed not only at the aviation industry but also at other transport modes, high technology and manufacturing industries where there are similarities. It represents an attempt to contribute to the pool of knowledge across a number of disciplines both within aviation and in the wider community. Using both primary and secondary data and a structured methodology, the research was designed, not to prove a particular point, but rather to promote a system level understanding of the factors behind aviation safety.

Reviews for Attitude or Latitude?: Australian Aviation Safety

’...easy and compelling to read, concise but surprisingly comprehensive, this seriously analytical volume deserves an equally serious study.’ ROSPA Occupational Safety and Health Journal, 2005
