investment important? (select all that apply)(Operator’s Manual – Human
Factors in Aviation Maintenance)
Human Factors programs and some safety interventions are not mandated
by regulation. Therefore, they must have demonstrable safety and cost

investments.

quantifiable programmatic impact and financial payback.
Sustainable safety and human factors programs should have a plan to collect
measurable impact data to demonstrate Return on Investment (ROI).
