A Safety Management System (SMS) is a proactive management system that has the capability to expand levels of operational safety well beyond regulatory minimums by treating safety as a core business enterprise. SMS is now required by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for all safety service providers. This course will provide participants with both a solid foundation in basic SMS concepts and will support further implementation of SMS within your organization. Attendees will be able to explain the theory, principles and application of SMS and will understand the ICAO requirements for implementation. There are three course lengths (links are to schedules in Word format) - a one-day overview, a five-day, and a nine-day option. These three courses consist of lectures and, as appropriate, case studies, exercises, and in the nine-day option, we have a SMS Development Guidebook that students use to create their own customized SMS Manual. Limited space available. Please register early.
