Aviation safety culture

Modern aviation safety relies on layers: aircraft design, regulation, training, maintenance, and human behaviour all work together. No single layer is expected to catch every risk alone.

A strong safety culture means people report mistakes and near-misses without fear of blame, because the goal is learning and prevention, not punishment.

For cabin crew, this shows up as a habit: noticing something unusual, saying something, and following procedure — even when it feels awkward or when it's 'probably nothing'.
