EUROCONTROL organisation

Following the discussion session, cmrent techniques used in the assessment of safety culture were presented. This was followed by suggestions on how to improve safety culture in participants own organisations. Finally, the workshop closed with an invited speaker describing the safety culture programme in Air Traffic Management run by EUROCONTROL (Meams et al. 2013). 

Since 2010 the EUROCONTROL safety culture team has offered an after care service. In practice this means visiting the ANSP some 12-24 months after the survey to see how it is proceeding, how the actions are being implemented and whether they are working. An external visit can sometimes help remind the organisation of its plans and get them back on track. Additionally, if certain actions are not working or are encountering resistance, the survey team may be able to propose alternative solutions that have worked for other ANSPs.
