People First: How employee traits drive safety in aviation maintenance Aviation maintenance safety depends less on manuals and technology than on the behavioural traits of frontline staff, argues this analysis. Traits such as vigilance, accountability and proactivity predict lower error rates, shape reporting cultures and determine organisational resilience — refocusing where operators and MROs should invest in safety.
