The Swiss Cheese Model: Analysis of Aviation Industry Accidents

This report examines the Swiss Cheese Model and its relevance to the aviation industry. It explains how this model, which views accidents as a result of multiple failures or 'holes' in a series of safety layers, is used to analyze and prevent accidents. The report discusses the application of the model, focusing on layers such as cost-cutting measures, training and supervision, pilot performance (due to fatigue or stress), and unsafe actions. It references specific examples and academic sources, highlighting the importance of understanding human factors and systemic weaknesses to improve aviation safety. The report emphasizes that accidents rarely occur due to a single cause, but are the result of a combination of factors, making the Swiss Cheese Model a crucial tool for risk management and safety improvements in the aviation sector.

Swiss Cheese Model
The swiss cheese model is regarding the accident causation model which is used to have
proper level of risk analysis and risk management. This have the clear level of inclusion of the
aviation safety, the engineering level of heath care, the emergency service organization. There
can be principle being layered security as in computers and defenseman depth level. This model
is also known as the cumulative art effects as the organization with single lapses ill not have
destruction at whole.
There is application of swiss model in aviation industry as there are the accident which
may have their occurrence in industry through the reasons of swiss cheese model. As the layer as
managements layers which applier cost cutting tactics to have operation lowering cost which
many back fire accidents (Gerstle, 2018). In next to training and supervision layers which is
considered to secret for securing operations of aircraft. The incomplete training or low in quality
can make the pilot incompetent to handle difficult situation.
The unsafe predication layer can be due to the Fatigue, stress, and absence in concentration
which can be resulting low performance. This can lead to have endearing of thousand of life.
The las in about the unsafe acting layer which is the absolutely thee active ones as comparative
to above one mentioned. The single mistake of error in handling can impose their serious level of
threat to the entire industry of aviation (Fuentes and Chung, 2019). Hence, In the aviation field,
accidents that happen occur rarely due to the consequences of a single problem.
