SMS Implementation and Risk Assessment Review – 1 Day

Introduction

Safety Management should be about more than just protecting your organisation against undesired safety outcomes it may also add value by supporting optimization of organisational process which drive efficiency and managed correctly lead to financial savings.

SMS differs from other mandated systems. Why? – Because SMS is a performance based system, as such it is driven by internally set organisational criteria, whist this will be challenging for the regulator to audit, the whole point is the recognition it is an organisational system. The needs of the organisation should in actual fact exceed the obligations to comply with any set of regulations.

Are you able to develop real and meaningful performance metrics? It is through such “Deep & Effective” measurement techniques and processes which enable us to demonstrate our internal and external assurance regarding our Safety exposure.

SofemaAviation Services has been supporting, training and implementing SMS for many years. We are able to work both at operational and strategic levels.

All of our training courses focus on 3 basic elements:

The first is the full “Buy In” to understand the relevance and importance of SMS within the organisation.

The second element focuses on the need to develop an organisational system which complies with the regulation, and not to simply develop a system for the regulations.

The third and possibly of the most significant is an understanding of  organisational culture and behaviours.

Our knowledge based on over 40 years commercial aviation experience provides the most practical solutions to the challenges faced in implementing truly effective SMS system.
