Sofema Aviation Services SAS has introduced a 1 day training for maintenance personal covering Safety Management Systems in Aviation Maintenance SMS for Maintenance.
Amongst the subjects covered are – The Evolution of Safety Thinking , Components of an SMS System, SMS Structure and how to gather data for your company SMS.
The primary goal of the training is to focus on the understanding on the role of Maintenance Staff within your Company SMS. Implementation of SMS for maintenance is an essential requirement whether you are a stand alone maintenance organization or integrated within an airline.
The SMS for Maintenance training shows how in a proactive SMS system safety is viewed from a systemic perspective, and should encompass organizational, human and technical factors.
The SMS for Maintenance training also embraces the notion of the organizational accident.
In 1986 The ICAO Assembly adopted Resolution A26-9 on Flight Safety and Human Factors. As a follow-up to the Assembly Resolution, the Air Navigation Commission formulated the following objective for the task:
“To improve safety in aviation by making States more aware and responsive to the importance of human factors in civil aviation operations through the provision of practical human factors material and measures developed on the basis of experience in States, and by developing and recommending appropriate amendments to existing materials in Annexes and other documents with regard to the role of human factors in the present and future operational environments.”
The aim of Human Factors training is to increase safety, quality and efficiency in aircraft maintenance operations by reducing human error and its impact in maintenance activities.
SMS for maintenance takes this a step further by introducing within the organization the mechanisms which can deliver in an effective way the components of the SMS system.
This is obtained through a number of approaches, documented process and procedures together with the integration of appropriate categories of maintenance personnel’s technical knowledge and skills with basic human factors knowledge and skills and promotion of a positive attitude towards safety.
Training of SMS for Maintenance is an essential ingredient as well as the promotion of SMS for maintenance throughout the organization.
A company Human Factors Training and Safety Management Programme needs to be well designed and coordinated, including a process for error management.
