Professor Reason developed the ”The Safety Space” Model, which is included in the ICAO SMM Manual (PDF) (Links to an external site.), (Links to an external site.) pages 2-14. We also saw a description of it in the 2P dilemma at the Safety Management System Presentation in Activity 8.1, showing that this model describes an aviation/aerospace organization’s safety space.
There is a necessity to balance both production/profit and safety.
But how are these elements linked with sustainability? Does this model require sustainability in order to be in balance?
How sustainable can a system be when it focuses only on productivity or only on safety or only on keeping its employees satisfied or only promoting a likable image to the media?
Considering these questions, the three pillars of sustainability, and the role of safety in aviation and aerospace organizations, as presented in our readings, write an essay about your perspective on which are the key points of an SMS where sustainability is necessary.
The number of key points might vary among readers of our material, so it is important to evaluate and then justify your selection.
