Aviation Safety Management Systems ASMS 24-4

A Safety Management System (SMS) is now required for international commercial aircraft operators, airports, and air traffic services. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) established the standards and implementing procedures for SMS. All 191 countries that are members of ICAO have established or are establishing regulatory requirements for the implementation of SMS. This course teaches how organizations can establish an SMS within the context of their current safety system that meets the basic international standards of ICAO. The SMS Framework serves as a central foundation for this course. SMS is a safety system by which an organization takes a more active role in identifying, analyzing, and mitigating safety issues that occur in the normal operation of their organization. SMS requires that organizational management take responsibility for the company’s safety program. The SMS approach requires the safety/quality team to be educated in their duties and responsibilities. This course will give you the essential skills to manage an organizational Safety Management System (SMS). The attendee will be able to manage a Safety Management System that includes risk management, audits, data collection, analysis, and incident investigations. This course is designed for the individual planning or directing an aviation Safety Management System program. Fundamentals in systems organization and structure provide the individual with the skills and methodology to plan and manage an effective program. Emphasis is placed on understanding the principles of risk management, identifying program development strategies, audits, and applying the knowledge toward effective management systems and interoperability with Quality Assurance.
