An ICAO compliant (as opposed to the current EASA required) Safety Management System provides a mechanism to proactively seek, identify, quantify and mitigate risks and potential hazards which exist in the business. Moreover it provides for a mechanism to deliver a safer working process and environment in every facet of our day to day business.
At SAS we understand the difference between quality and safety auditing, also the importance of bringing together Quality Safety and Human Factors in the work place. We can support you to develop real and effective solutions which deliver the appropriate solution in your organisation.
We all talk about the need for safety, but often fail to take full account of the benefits of an effective proactive SMS as the means not just to deliver this safety but to introduce a systematic approach to identify hazards within your organisation.

We are able to support you to understand and implement an effective SMS system in your work place. We understand the issues which challenge your business and with our experience we can help you to mitigate, and determine appropriate solutions.
