Legal Requirement to Improve a Just Culture in
Aviation Industry
The Civil Aviation Authority [10] defines a just culture as one which front
operators are not punished for actions, opinions and decisions taken by
them, but wilful violations, gross misconduct etc is not accepted. Hence a
Directive was issued on same, EC Regulation 376/2014.
The Directive encouraged reporting by including mandatory compliance for
airlines by:
1. Organisations must analyse and follow-up on reports. Feedback must be
provided to reporter.
2. Permitting whistle blowing: employees or contracted workers may report
any infringement.
3. Introduced time-frame for reporting safety issues to the concerned
authority.
