A source from Aviation Safety Networks – recorded aviation accidents from 1942 to 2021 with airliner accidents ranging from 8 to 99, and fatalities range from 59 to 2389. Corp jet accidents ranging from zero to 13 and fatalities ranging from zero to 78 were recorded. Hijacking accidents ranging from zero to 86 and fatalities ranging from zero to 268 were recorded. These statistics clearly show that the magnitude of loss of life and asset were significant, and are evident that the aviation safety is a high hazard or high-risk level if not properly managed to reduce risk to As-Low-As-Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). Safety Experts are thus required to carry out safety studies and reviews for both life and fire safety, technical and process safety, and environmental safety at conception, design, procurement, installation, and maintenance stages of aviation assets. We focus more on the life and fire safety compliance aspects as they apply to the aviation sector in this context. A structured framework consisting of sets of processes, and tools for management of safety systems and programs are inevitable for aviation industry.
