> >The term 'general aviation' is used to describe a diverse range of aviation activities and includes all segments of the aviation industry except commercial air carriers (including commuter/ regional airlines) and military. Its activities include training of new pilots and pilots interested in additional ratings or certification, sightseeing, movement of large heavy loads by helicopter, flying for personal or business/corporate reasons, and emergency medical services. Its aircraft range from the one-seat single-engine piston aircraft to the long-range corporate jet, and also include gliders and amateur-built aircraft.
For what it's worth, I have reviewed the accident data from this sector and the sector is so diverse that it is difficult to find a common denominator to measure its activity level. But about 400 people/year die in civil aviation fatalities a year and the FAA has an active safety outreach program to this sector.
This includes a '57 seconds to safety' video series which has some interesting materials on hazard assessment and emergency preparedness that can apply to lab situations as well. These videos can be found in the Youtube channel at
