You know how to run your business - we know how to manage SAFETY...
we train SMS to EASA Regulators - together we can become great partners.
“Safety management is about protection against undesired outcomes or losses…and of course flight safety, or not having an accident”.
Safety is not a naturally occurring state, if you want it, you have to organise for it and continuously pursue it. An effective SMS makes the difference between KNOWING that you are safe (and what that means) versus BELIEVING or HOPING that you are.
We believe an increase in the number of hazards reports is a good safety culture indicator:
- Reports = early warnings = opportunity to assess risk and reduce losses proactively.
- How many do you currently record a year? Do you know what are your top three hazards and what are you doing about them?
