BACKGROUND Flight attendants are exposed to cosmic ionizing radiation and other potential cancer risk factors, but only recently have epidemiological studies been performed to assess the risk of cancer among these workers. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the incidence of various types of cancer among female cabin attendants by combining cancer incidence estimates reported in publish...

OBJECTIVE The study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of a manipulation derived from social categorization and social identity theory to promote greater cabin crew willingness to engage in intergroup communication and teamwork in airline operations. BACKGROUND Failures of communication and teamwork between airline crew have been implicated in a number of airline crashes. METHOD ...

Medical problems during flight have become an important issue as the number of passengers and of miles flown continue to rise. Cabin pressurization causes hypoxia, hypobaria and decreased humidity, which are responsible for most medical incidents occurring during flight. Worldwide daily medical incidents are estimated at 350, i.e., one per 14,000 to 39,600 passengers. Medical advice is obtained...

In the present paper, we investigate heat transfer through multilayer wall of aircraft cabins, as this process influences comfortable conditions created for most passengers and crew members. The numerical modelling results calculation a with hat-stringer in design are presented. thermal characteristics evaluation their relationship parameters were made. effect air layer size on overall resistan...

Airline companies use specific selection criteria for cabin crew to ensure that candidates meet their physical requirements. Some of these are the height and reach distance candidates. This criterion is designed so can effectively perform tasks such as being able master emergency equipment, have access upper storage compartments assist disabled or injured passengers. The aim this study examine ...

To solve the problem that small rescue vessels are seriously affected by waves when working at sea, which causes damage to crew and equipment, a catamaran with suspended articulated cabin is designed. The multi-body dynamic model of whole vessel based on SimMechanics built, prototype tested water. correctness verified three aspects roll motion, pitch heave motion platform. platform simulated un...

Professional culture differences resulting from occupational training and experiences are widely known to affect the behaviours of groups individuals. Yet a research gap exists on whether professional can influence safety-relevant core values held within individuals which typically considered product national culture. The present study compared pilots, cabin crew, non-managerial ground staff, a...

Producing work schedules for airline crew normally results in individually different schedules. Some airlines do however want to give the same schedule to groups of people. The construction of such groups must respect certain rules, provide a good matching of certain factors and fit well into the normal process of producing anonymous trips starting and ending at the home base and assigning thes...
