Two areas have been identified by IATA Member Airlines as priorities in terms of cabin safety and costs :
- Cabin crew turbulence-related injuries
- Inadvertent slide deployments.
In order to help safety officers, training instructors and airline managers develop strategies to prevent incidents in these two areas, IATA's Cabin Operations Safety Task Force, operating under IATA's Safety Group has developed a complete toolkit covering the following areas:
What you will find in the toolkit:
- Safety officers' tools: guidance material to redefine current procedures, incident/accident analysis tools, statistics for benchmarking and other means to diagnose and correct specific issues within an airline.
- Training material: complete course content with case studies, workshops, instructor's notes, supporting documentation and presentations that can be integrated into current training courses or used as stand-alone lesson plans.
- Management briefings: action plans and cost analysis templates to help determine cost savings, as well as presentations, statistics and other material to brief airline management and obtain the support needed to implement change.
- Instructor's notes: detailed information on each slide to accompany classroom presentations and workshop sessions.
