In the context of aviation safety, what is one purpose of having a non-jeopardy observation like a LOSA?

A non-jeopardy observation like a Line Operations Safety Audit (LOSA) is designed primarily to enhance operational safety in a way that does not punish pilots for their performance during the evaluation. This approach encourages more open and honest reporting of safety incidents and behaviors without fear of disciplinary actions. By focusing on the overall operational environment rather than individual pilot compliance, a LOSA can identify systemic issues that may contribute to safety risks and facilitate recommendations for improvements to procedures, training, and culture within the organization. This results in a collaborative effort to bolster safety, ultimately benefiting the entire aviation community.
