Last week, NTSB Member Graham addressed attendees at the RTX Safety Summit on the industry-wide topic “Hiring for Success, Not Tragedy,” using Atlas Air, Flight 3591 as a case study. He emphasized the critical role of strong hiring practices in ensuring operational safety across the industry. In his presentation, he stated, “It’s important for the industry to regularly review its hiring practices to ensure thorough processes and robust minimum standards are in place. Hiring decisions made every day impact an operation’s margin of safety.” Graham’s message serves as a reminder for all organizations to continually evaluate and improve their hiring processes to maintain high safety standards and protect both employees and the public. This guidance is crucial for the entire industry, highlighting the need for robust and consistent safety practices. #HiringForSuccess #NTSB #IndustryStandards #AviationSafety #HiringBestPractices
