¶ … Accident Theories
US Jets remains committed firmly to safety-first policy that includes compliance with all pertinent regulations. As the primary aviation regulatory body in the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) controls air traffic and maintains nationwide safety standards. In fact, California codes of regulations are drafted, issued, and enforced in conjunction with the FAA (California Code of Regulations, n.d.). Therefore, complying with the FAA will consistently be the number one concern of our company when it comes to the design and manufacture of mid-sized private jets.
Incident and accident theory
As extensions of human factors theory, incident and accident theory introduces additional elements such as ergonomic traps, which are related to management failure, as well as the conscious or unconscious personal errors that can lead to accidents (Cleveland State University Work Zone Safety and Efficiency Transportation Center, n.d.). Likewise, Heinrich's domino theory suggests that accidents do not happen as isolated incidents but as part of a causal chain of events. Safety professionals can use incident and accident and domino theories to predict, regulate, recognize, control, and mitigate hazards.
Incident and accident theory
Incident and accident theory builds on human factors theory,...
Errors are traced to human beings, showing how managerial or personal oversight or carelessness are primary concerns. Even mechanical errors can be attributed to a failure to maintain or check equipment. Design flaws are a product of poor checks and balances within the research and development department. Because of its comprehensive and multifaceted approach, incident and accident theory offers a cogent approach to current concerns with the U.S. Jets health and safety compliance.
Justification of my selection
Incident and accident theory, combined with domino theory, encourages us to examine every level of the supply chain, as we are responsible for the quality of materials coming to us from manufacturers. Any lapse in quality control at this stage would be viewed as a human error and a management error. Once materials have been cleared, all procedural health and safety regulations need to be followed. Mistakes are made when workers fail to comply with health and safety standards, such as by not wearing protective gear or being overworked and careless when operating equipment. Likewise, carelessness, failure to monitor equipment, or failure to monitor personnel can lead to defects in the manufacturing process. Similarly, a lack of controls in the design department could cause serious design flaws…

American Airlines/U.S. Airways merger issues In January 2012 U.S. Airways Group, the parent company of U.S. airways, expressed interest in acquiring AMR Corporation, American Airlines parent company. This merger would add 1.5 billion dollars in revenue reduce competition in various cities and create one of the largest airlines in aviation history. For shareholders and workers this is a great thing. Some of the benefits are more destinations, more flights and the
U.S. MILITARY AND ENVIRONMENTAL LAW Military & Environmental Law Environmental Analysis and Impact of the United States Military Military activity affects the environment in direct and indirect ways. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of military training and readiness activities and the impact of armed conflict and war on the environment. Most environmental impact that results from armed conflict and war occurs in foreign and not domestic environments. However,
International Regulation of Tourism in Antarctica Since the mid-1980s, Antarctica has been an increasingly popular tourist destination, despite the relative danger of visiting the largest, least explored -- and arguably least understood -- continent on earth. Beginning with the 1959 treaty establishing Antarctica as an international zone free of claims of sovereignty by nation's that had been instrumental in establishing research stations there, there has been almost constant negotiation about how

The following definitions may be helpful. Category 1 APUs are installed where in-flight auxiliary power operation is necessary. Category 1 APUs are usually required for essential APU installations. These APUs have been shown to meet all of the test and analysis requirements of the Minimum Performance Standard (MPS) of TSO C77b, Appendix 1. Category 2 APUs are installed where in-flight APU operation is not necessary (non-essential installations). Both Category 1 and Category
