Abstract

The mainstay of accident-prevention programs--and accident prevention programs, after all is said and done, are the ultimate objective--has been to educate populations exposed to certain hazards with respect to the nature of the risks involved. While human engineering can frequently limit or diminish the hazard potential in a given situation, it is unlikely that mechanical contrivances alone will offer a pragmatic solution to the human-factor accident. I would invite this group to expend its talent in further developing the application of clinical pathology as well as pathologic anatomy to the still-unanswered problems in aviation safety and join with us at the Naval Safety Center in an effort to make our air operation as safe as possible.
