Sofema Aviation Services offers Training, Support and Guidance to help you understand, develop and implement an Effective Error Management Systems to deliver the safest possible organization process.

With the forthcoming developments of  EASA Part 145 driven by NPA 2013-01 the developments of an Internal safety reporting scheme have been strengthened with the introduction of  as a separate provision 145.A.62 ‘Internal Safety Reporting Scheme’ and the existing provisions have been further enhanced and complemented with specific AMC and GM.

If human error was simply the result of careless or reckless individual behaviour, managing human error would be straightforward, in that disciplinary action could be measured against the gravity of the event.

Part of the problem is that we all make risk based decisions in our daily life, without considering always the consequences. So it is not surprising that even within the environment of Aircraft Maintenance a degree of risk taking will be inevitable. The question we have to ask following an event is did the technician knowingly and unjustifiably increase the probability that a particular error would occur?

So the rational of the Maintenance Error Management System approach is that we have to strive to design organisational systems which take errors into consideration whilst at the same time affording the maximum protection. By the same token we also have to accept that it is also incorrect to say that the responsibility for human error may always be found within the maintenance system, and never with the individual perpetrator of the error.

We may also have to look further than the employee who commits the error and to consider if responsibility lay in other areas for example the writer of the procedure or the manager will the “blame” shift and will we still be maintain the “punishment free approach” or will ultimately all blame then sit on the shoulders of the Maintainer.

This Industry specific 3 Day course is aimed at the understanding and implementation of  the necessary elements to create an effective Maintenance Error Management System either stand alone or to become a component of the organizational SMS within your company.

The training considers the attributes of an effective and open reporting culture and how this may be fostered and will be focused on the use of the Boeing MEDA tool as an aid to performing event Investigations.

What people say about the Training?

“Very Valuable – Theory, Case Studies and Implementation”
“Good Examples and sharing of Information”
“Will improve our concept of the relationship between SMS & MEMS”

Sofema Aviation Services provides both Maintenance Error Management System MEMS and Safety Management System SMS training for additional details please see www.sassofia.com or email office@sassofia.com
