Description
The 5 of Clubs card illustrates the importance of cultivating a strong reporting culture—an essential component of any effective Safety Management System (SMS).
This visual tool breaks down the five types of reporting aviation professionals should understand and embrace:
- Hazard Identification – spotting potential risks before harm occurs
- Voluntary Reporting – aligned with EU Regulation No. 376/2014, empowering staff to report openly
- Near Misses – often under-reported but crucial for proactive learning
- Errors – honest mistakes revealed during daily operations
- Incidents – safety events that must be logged, investigated, and addressed
The megaphone symbolises leadership’s role in encouraging every team member—regardless of rank—to report issues without fear. It’s a call to action: don’t wait to define it, just report it.
Use this card to:
- Build awareness during SMS and Just Culture training
