Our safety leadership education and safety risk management techniques provide you with the safety decision management foundation and tools to promote safety, protect vital assets, and ensure high quality operations.
Benefits
An effective SMS enables your aerospace organization to comply with regulations and other requirements, minimizing the likelihood of an adverse event.
Implementation of a SMS integrates safety into flight operations and introduces a systematic approach to improving safety performance. A SMS also improves employee, passenger, and cargo safety through proactive identification and mitigation of risks and prospective hazards.
Implementation of a SMS positively impacts the performance of your staff and the attainment of your organizational goals.
A SMS involves your employees in the protection of their own safety, creating trust at all levels of the organization, and increasing employee morale. A SMS is a means to create a culture of dedicated safety self-management rather than reliance upon inspections to maintain standards.
A SMS results in improvement to your management processes, providing for the continuous improvement of your operations practices and concepts.
A SMS applies the quality management approach to controlling safety-related risk. It applies self-evaluation and quality assurance principles to the safety-related aspects of operations. Integration of safety efforts enabled by the SMS with existing quality, environmental, or other occupational safety systems leads to synergies and efficiencies in efforts and process management.
We have supported the following airports with their SMS implementation:
- Seattle-Tacoma, South Bend, San Antonio, Indianapolis
