What is a Safety Management System?
A Safety Management System (SMS) within any aviation organisation provides a systematic approach to managing safety. For an SMS to be effective, there must be the necessary organisational structures, accountabilities, responsibilities, policies and procedures. An effective SMS should enable an organisation to identify hazards, assess risks and can be the mechanism to continuously improve safety performance.
Course Overview
This course is designed to provide Safety Management Systems (SMS) refresher training to regulatory inspection staff and industry safety managers to reflect recent SMS regulatory changes and to share lessons learnt. As SMS understanding and implementation continues to evolve the CAA SMS evaluation tools and processes have also been updated. This includes increasing the focus on Human Factors as part of an organisation’s SMS evaluation.
This course is suitable for regulatory inspectors engaged in SMS oversight and safety managers or those performing SMS assessments that would like to refresh their knowledge on SMS and SMS regulations.
This training course will include the following topics:
- SMS issues and challenges
