Significant changes have taken place over the last 25 years in many areas of aviation and not only in the technical quality of the product. It has taken the Aviation Industry decades to understand fully the role of the organization in aviation accidents and incidents. This understanding has led to the current environment in which the focus is turning within the organization to the specific need for a Safety Management System, not just driven by regulations but by the organisations desire to promote the most effective business practices.
It was not until the early 1990s that it was accepted following the analysis of many incidents and accidents that individuals do not operate in a vacuum, but rather within defined operational contexts. This signalled the beginning of what has become know as the “organizational era”. Within the organization, safety is increasingly viewed from a systemic perspective, in so doing to encompass a range of organizational, human and technical factors. It was also at that time that the notion of the organizational accident was embraced by aviation, means an accident that could have been prevented had organisational barriers been in place to mitigate the exposure.
We are looking also at the attributes of the person chosen within the organization to deliver Safety Management System Training. The challenge of training SMS throughout the organization is a formidable undertaking as many different elements need to be considered. However it is without doubt within the skill set of most Safety Managers or Nominated Trainers to deliver the most effective SMS “In Company” training.
Not least is the consideration that trainers need to be aware that people learn in different ways, at different speeds and with different focus. Therefore it is important to incorporate as many different and varied techniques as possible within your chosen presentation style.
Because Safety Management Systems require an active participation of each and every employee, Aviation Safety Management System Training for Trainers needs to pay attention to Trainee participation is of the utmost importance, to encourage class discussions, group activities, exercises and individual examples.
By employing a variety of techniques we will be able to encourage the group to retain the core information you wish to get across, which is essentially their role within the Organization and the need for total participation.
The essential purpose of the training you are going to deliver is to support competency rather than to raise awareness, as a basic knowledge typically exists in advance of the training.
We should also ensure that participants are able to demonstrate that they have sufficient understanding to be able to apply the skills and techniques which are being presented in the workplace.
