SUMMARY:Farnborough Branch 2026 Roger Green Lecture: From Human Factors to 
 Safety Intelligence - 25 Years on the Front Line of Aviation Safety
DESCRIPTION:The Farnborough Branch Roger Green Lecture features Bob Simmons
  FRAeS\, Co-Founder of Baines Simmons\, discussing the evolution of human 
 factors in aviation safety over 25 years. The lecture traces the journey f
 rom Roger Green's pioneering work in moving human factors from the laborat
 ory into operational aviation environments through CHIRP and accident inve
 stigations\, to contemporary safety management practices.\nBob Simmons dra
 ws on extensive experience working with over 800 civil and defence organis
 ations—from major airlines and national authorities to small maintenance
  organisations—to examine how human factors thinking has been integrated
  into operational reality. The presentation progresses from mandated human
  factors training through error management and just culture principles\, t
 o modern safety risk management and integrated management systems under IC
 AO Annex 19\, EASA Part-145.A.200 and the MAA/EMAR framework.\nBuilding on
  foundational work by James Reason and Patrick Hudson\, the lecture argues
  that human factors remains the load-bearing foundation of Safety Manageme
 nt Systems rather than being superseded by them. Simmons brings a candid p
 ractitioner's perspective\, having both contributed to human factors failu
 res and experienced their consequences first-hand\, including as a passeng
 er in an aircraft accident.\nUsing real cases from civil and defence secto
 rs\, the presentation examines why safety cultures built on just culture p
 hilosophies are essential to whether management systems deliver genuine as
 surance or merely compliance documentation. The lecture concludes by consi
 dering what these principles mean as automation\, artificial intelligence 
 and new market entrants reshape the operational aviation landscape.\nSpeak
 er: Bob Simmons has worked in aviation since 1978\, beginning with eleven 
 years' Royal Air Force service on Victor tanker and Tornado fleets before 
 qualifying as a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer. Since 1994\, he ha
 s held safety-specific roles including service as an Airworthiness Surveyo
 r with the UK Civil Aviation Authority\, where he was responsible for main
 tenance and continuing airworthiness policy.
