SMS Developing Risk Assessment Strategies in Small to Medium Companies – 1 Day

Introduction

Aviation is an incredibly complex business environment. Demands placed on the organization and individuals to deliver are often considerable, and place a burden on key individuals. The industry is constantly being driven to deliver ever higher levels of safety. In addition, from Jan 2009 ICAO requires the implementation of a proactive SMS system. EASA is expected to follow ICAO requirements from mid-2012.

“The risks and costs in commercial aviation necessitate a rational process for decision-making. On a daily basis, operators and managers make decisions in real-time, weighing the probability and severity of any adverse consequences implied by the risk against the expected gain of taking the risk. This process is known as risk management.” – ICAO

The core requirement for an SMS in Small to Medium Organisations is an effective method of identifying and controlling risk, and an essential element of safety management is the process of risk assessment. The need to identify and control risk is key to protecting the organization and this one-day course will provide the delegates with an understanding of how to identify hazards in small to medium organizations and to evaluate these hazards to produce a risk assessment. During the course, delegates will work through several examples with an emphasis on group work and discussion to evaluate the differences of opinion, which may come into risk assessment.
