Safety Science & Resilience Engineering

At Strategic Air, we offer integrated Safety Science and Resilience Engineering services to help organisations shift from reactive safety management to proactive, adaptive performance. In a dynamic industries where complexity and uncertainty are the norm, traditional compliance-driven models are no longer enough.

Our approach embraces modern safety thinking—recognising that successful operations depend on understanding how work is really done, how systems adapt, and how people contribute to both safety and performance every day

Research & Analysis

Strategic Air can undertake comprehensive research to gather data. Our experts can then use complex statistical models like path analysis and structural equation modelling in order to arive at evidence based analysis.

Understanding Human Behaviour

To understand why people made assessments or decisions that they did - we need to understand why things made sense to them at the time.

Behavioural Intervention

Strategic Air can apply psychological models like the Theory of Planned Behaviour in order to identify the beliefs that actually drive particular human behaviours.

Applying the Theory of Planned Behaviour

The TPB is used to predict and explain human behaviour in many different situations and settings. For example, it can be used to understand and encourage changes in behaviours in domain such as health, road, rail and aviation.

From Human Error to Real-World Complexity Science

Human Error is often cited at the cause of an accident or an incident. But Human Error is simply a symptom of trouble much deeper inside a complex system. The real-world is complex system. Let us understand what is really going on well below the surface.

Measuring & Changing Culture in the Workplace

To change workplace culture we must first measure what the culture is, and understand what is driving 'what people do when nobody is looking'. Strategic Air can use psycho-social tools to measure culture, its drivers and develop strategies of change.

Resilience Engineering

At Strategic Air, we specialise in Resilience Engineering—a proactive approach to safety that helps aviation organisations adapt, respond, and thrive in complex and uncertain environments. Unlike traditional safety methods that focus on error elimination, Resilience Engineering recognises that variability, complexity, and change are inherent in aviation systems. Our goal is to help you build the capacity to succeed under both expected and unexpected conditions.

Modern aviation operates in a world of increasing complexity: rapid technological change, evolving regulations, and unpredictable external pressures. This is not just about avoiding failure—it's about enabling success. With deep expertise in safety systems, human factors, and safety science, Strategic Air brings a unique perspective to resilience. We tailor every engagement to your operational reality—combining academic insight with hands-on experience. Let’s move beyond compliance and toward capability. Let’s build resilient systems together.

Behaviour Modelling to Drive More Effective Safety Campaigns

Not only can we uncover the psychological drivers of a particular behaviour, but using complex mathematical tools, we can determine the drivers which have the greatest influence on the behaviour. It is the psychological beliefs with the greatest influence that we need to target if we want effective interventions.

Risk Perception Models to Understand Risky Behaviour Thinking.

How people perceive risk has an effect on their safety related behaviour. Strategic Air can apply psycholoigcal models and complex analysis to understanding people's perception of risk. Once we understand it, we can then intervene in an effective an inteligent way.
