Introduction
Often the root cause or contributing factors are embedded within the organisations process and procedures.
Unfortunately with hindsight we are often able to understand the existence of numerous latent “exposures”, (sometimes too late!)
If a major contributing factor to most unwelcome events then is to be found within the organisation, it should follow that it is the organisation itself that has the “power” to effect a control of the exposure by removing or reducing the exposure (mitigation).
During this course we share both the value and importance of developing the best safety management system which we can develop, and in so doing will deliver real and tangible benefits to the organisation.
We have looked at the regulations driving an SMS and should understand that the SMS is a national obligation based on the need to demonstrate compliance with ICAO
Throughout the course, we focus on best practices and the need for an effective understanding regarding the industry and organizational best practices to help us embrace the various SMS challenges which face a CAT AOC holder.
