Abstract

This chapter describes the importance of ethical principles underlying professional practice, and presents and analyses several codes of practice. It then shows that a moral code is unsufficient, but must be supplemented by a decision making process—presenting Davis’ 7 stage process as an available method. Case studies are used to illustrate this.

Philosopher Professor James Reason, formerly of the University of Manchester is well known for his seminal work on the causes and avoidance of error. This author would caution however against use of his earlier writings such as Human Error (1991), as his later writing is much more developed in its thinking. The Human Contribution: Unsafe Acts, Accidents and Heroic Recoveries (Routledge 2008) is a good introduction to his work and its use.

A useful explanation of the intentions behind Just Culture may be found in Global Aviation Information Network (GAIN)’s September 2004 document “A roadmap to a just culture: enhancing the safety environment”. Some readers may note differences between the culture as described in that document, and the implementation in some regimes.
