Introduction
An effective SMS is an essential tool to raise the understanding that the cargo operators face in respect of the various risks affecting the aviation cargo business.
An ICAO-compliant 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 a mechanism to deliver a safer working process and environment in every facet of your day-to-day business.
There is an overlap between Compliance (Quality) monitoring and Safety and we will understand the importance of bringing together Compliance (Quality), Safety, and Human Factors in the cargo operations environment.
We deliver SMS training for all elements of your business from a need-to-know overview for Cargo Managers and Supervisors to specific training for cargo loaders and handlers.
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 organization.
