Safety Management System Training

SMS Training is conducted either online or onsite for all Flight Department personnel to ensure full participation in the SMS. The instructional process is cognitive and experiential. A brief history of the evolution of the SMS is presented.

An Organizational Development strategy is used to understand the operator's Safety Policy, how the Flight Department is currently managing risks, promoting safety, conducting training, and managing change. Since the SMS is "home grown," Hazard / Risk Identification, Risk Assessment, and Mitigation processes are discussed, developed, and linked to your current processes. Several options for internal auditing are also presented.

The importance of safety occurrence and risk reporting is emphasized. Our team will present recommended methods of implementing safety performance monitoring and measurement, audits and surveys, change management processes, continuous improvement processes, training and education, and safety communication. A training certificate is provided upon completion.
