SACAA
Now Offers SMS Training
Attention Aviation
Organizations
1. Background
Managing any aviation organization,
large or small, requires the management of many business processes: financing,
budgeting, communicating and allocating resources, and so forth. In recent
years, managing safety has been added to the list of business processes.
Managing safety is now as much a part of running a business as any of the
traditional business processes.
An SMS is a systematic approach to
managing safety, including the necessary organizational structure,
accountabilities, policies and processes. In order to reinforce the notion of
safety management being a managerial process, the new ICAO safety management
requirements include provisions for an organization to establish lines of
safety accountability throughout the organization, as well as at the senior
management level. The requirements impose upon States the responsibility to
establish a safety programme (SSP) and, as part of such programme, require that
approved training organizations, air operators, maintenance organizations,
organizations responsible for type design and/or manufacture of aircraft, air
traffic services providers and certified aerodrome operators implement a safety
management system (SMS). Lastly, the requirements impose on States the
responsibility to establish a safety performance for the activities/provision
of services under consideration.
2. Course goals
The goals of the ICAO Safety
Management Systems (SMS) Course are to:
Ø Provide participants
knowledge of safety management concepts and ICAO Standards and Recommended
Practices (SARPs) on safety management in Annexes1, 6, 8, 11, 13 and 14, and
related guidance material.
3. Target audience
Representatives from civil aviation industry
with responsibilities regarding the implementation of safety management
systems, in the areas of aircraft operations, flight training organizations,
air traffic services, maintenance of aircraft and aerodrome operations.
