skeyes’ safety culture is based on a clear principle: the company has always guided its actions in the management of safety-related incidents by investigating the causes to gain a thorough understanding and take the appropriate measures to ensure that a similar incident does not happen again. skeyes encourages its operational teams to report safety-related incidents by applying the principles of Just Culture.

As the absolute number of safety-related event reports also depends on the volume of traffic, the number of reports per 100,000 movements provides a more accurate indication of the progress of the safety culture and systematic reporting.
At skeyes, event/incident reporting has reached a high level of maturity, in the same way as safety culture through skeyes’ operational departments. This is why the number of reports in relation to traffic has remained relatively stable over the last few years, after having risen sharply following the development of the Safety Management System (SMS) and its work to promote safety.

In 15 years, the number of events reported has increased significantly overall. This does not mean that there are more events than before, but rather that they are increasingly reported in order to be analysed and to be able to draw useful lessons for the progress of safety.
The 62% jump between 2015 and 2016 is also due to Regulation (EU) No 376/2014 introduced at the end of 2015, which expanded the types of incidents to be reported.
The absolute number of safety-related events reported is not the only measure of safety culture.
The content of the reports and the fact that reporting has become a well-established reflex are key criteria for assessing the robustness of the safety culture.
After analysis, some events reported are downgraded and do not qualify as a safety event.
