In aviation, the concept of safety may involve different things such as zero accidents, freedom from hazards, attitudes of aviation employees toward unsafe acts and conditions, error avoidance, and regulatory compliance. Airline passengers and staff in particular face a range of potential hazards and safety issues that should be seriously addressed every time via airline security, boarding, and in-flight practices.
