Course overview

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

In recognition of the challenges facing smaller organisations, this training course has been developed to focus on  the principles of a Safety Management System (SMS) in the context of a small aviation organisation.  The 4 hour course will be delivered by a subject matter expert that has been involved internationally in developing guidance material for small organisations. A short e-learning course will be provided to prepare participants for the virtual training course delivered as an interactive webinar. It includes guidance and tools to help you to build and maintain an effective SMS suitable for a small organisation in order to meet UK CAA, ICAO and EASA requirements.

Who should attend?

This course is suitable for those staff involved in the development and management of the SMS such as Safety Managers, Accountable Managers and Quality Management / Compliance Monitoring Managers within small complex and non-complex organisations.  In addition, key managers and post-holders who play an important role in contributing to safety would benefit from attending.

This training course will include the following topics:

  • Principles of a Safety Management System
  • Designing your SMS
