SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Safety Management Systems in the Aviation Industry
Introduction
This topic area covers the second and third sessions. Now that some of the basic terms and concepts associated with safety management systems and risk management have been discussed, it is important to outline what a safety management system encompasses, and the benefits it can bring when implemented and maintained within an organisation such as an airline. Not only must organisations be aware of operational issues such as scheduling, crewing, and administration, but all staff members must be made aware of the importance of implementing measures to identify, analyse, and monitor safety concerns. Within these sessions, the elements of a Safety Management System will be discussed, as well as the regulatory environment safety must be practiced within.
Prior Learning Time
Participants must have a sound understanding of the terminology used to describe safety management systems. You will need a minimum of 12 hours to complete this section.
