Introduction
Quality Assurance is essentially looking at compliance and Safety Assurance is looking at any weakness in the organizational system which raises the exposure to risk.
Quality Assurance is looking at the existing situation whilst Safety Assurance is a forward-looking process.
It is not unusual to discover confusion when the discussion turns to Quality & Safety Auditing regarding the specific functions of the two different undertakings.
So consider that:
Whilst Quality is essentially looking at compliance, Safety Management Systems should focus extensively on the analysis of the data derived from the contributing elements of the various impacted areas.
The Safety Management System identifies as an essential goal, the improvement of the Safety Performance. In so doing the SMS aims to deliver an improvement in the risk exposure.
Looking at Risk is extremely subjective and this 1 Day course focuses on the best practices to deliver Safety Audits, understanding how to gather view, and interpret the data we see in a meaningful way.
