Give students scenario based training instead of theoretical. IMO the FITS has limited success.
Not going to work. The only way risk assessments work is if they are enforced 100% of the time (not going to happen) and if they completely anticipate every possible scenario (not really possible). I go back to what I said before: They help safety-professionals sleep well at night, but do little to really address any problems. I'm well versed in safety culture, human factors (not the BS CRM stuff they sell you at aeronautical schools, I mean ergonomics and real human factors (psychology)).
