Overview
Safety is paramount in aviation, especially within the dynamic environment of aerodromes. Implementing a robust Safety Management System (SMS) is essential to ensure that aerodromes maintain the highest standards of safety during their daily work. An effective SMS will not only support the delivery of safety objectives but increase operational resilience. This includes a well-defined structure in the aerodrome organisation in terms of procedures, responsibilities and processes.
A comprehensive safety programme consists of the following key elements:
Leveraging our expertise, airsight assists aerodromes in establishing an effective safety programme, by identifying hazards and developing mitigation measures. Our goal is to design innovative and practical solutions that address the complex safety challenges.
Furthermore, airsight conducts tailored, independent and objective audits for its customers based on the ISO 19011 provisions for Management System Audits. For that airsight maintains a pool of qualified and certified inhouse aviation auditors.
Safety Management System
airsight identifies vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and risks of management systems before they emerge, developing efficient mitigation strategies
A Safety Management System (SMS) for airports is a comprehensive, systematic approach designed to manage safety risks in aviation operations. The objective of an SMS is to identify potential vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and risks that may arise during day-to-day work. airsight is your foresighted partner in a constantly evolving regulatory environment with high levels of technological advancement and emerging safety challenges. By conducting thorough risk assessments, safety audits, and providing expert training, airsight helps airports identify potential hazards, mitigate risks, and foster a culture of safety.
airsight supports your organisation with setting up or improving your SMS policy.
The Safety Policy and Objectives are essential for establishing a solid foundation for the Safety Management System (SMS) at aerodromes. This policy outlines the organisation’s commitment to maintaining high safety standards and sets clear, measurable safety goals. It requires senior management’s commitment, the allocation of necessary resources, and a focus on continuous improvement to ensure safety remains a priority across all operations.
With extensive knowledge and experience of conducting risk assessments, airsight can be a trusted partner for your organisation.
Safety Risk Management (SRM) involves identifying, analysing, and mitigating risks at aerodromes. This process includes hazard identification, risk assessment to evaluate the impact and likelihood of hazards, and the development of mitigation strategies. Continuous monitoring and review of risk mitigation measures ensure they remain effective and relevant, minimising the likelihood of accidents and incidents.
Safety Assurance ensures that the aerodrome’s safety performance meets established standards. This includes monitoring safety performance against criteria, analysing safety data for trends and areas of improvement, and implementing corrective actions based on insights gained. Regular compliance reviews with safety regulations and standards are also conducted to maintain high safety standards and enhance safety performance continuously.
With a high professional level of experience, airsight is able to support your organisation in terms of monitoring the safety performance and control of compliance with the regulations.
Safety Promotion aims to build a strong safety culture by enhancing safety awareness and training. It involves providing comprehensive safety training, fostering open communication about safety issues, and promoting a culture of collective safety responsibility. Safety awareness campaigns and initiatives keep safety at the forefront of operations, encouraging proactive behavior and rewarding good safety practices.
With airsights expertise and many years of experience we can assist your organisation by providing tailored trainings to various topics of SMS.
SMS Solutions
airsight's Comprehensive SMS Solutions are designed to support aerodromes in establishing and maintaining robust Safety Management Systems (SMS).
airsight offers Comprehensive SMS Solutions that assist aerodromes in developing and implementing robust Safety Management Systems (SMS) to ensure and optimise operational safety. Our services include customised safety programs, seamless system integration, implementation of appropriate support tools, and advisory services to enhance overall safety performance and resilience.
Tailored to meet the specific needs of your aerodrome, our safety programs encompass all elements of SMS, including safety policy, objectives, performance indicators, hazard identification and risk assessments. We work closely with your team to develop a program that aligns with your operational goals and regulatory requirements. Our programs are structured and harmonised to ensure effectiveness and compliance with international standards.
We ensure that your SMS is seamlessly integrated into your existing operations, providing a cohesive framework that enhances safety and operational efficiency. Our integration process includes detailed planning, implementation support, and continuous monitoring to ensure the system's effectiveness. For instance, existing internal methods by which data, manuals and procedures are classified, managed and processed can be simplified by developing user friendly tools. These can, for example, support safety management units in setting up and maintaining an efficient SMS by facilitating the collection and classification of occurrence reports, hazard identification, risk evaluation, and the development of mitigation measures all in one place with tools already available to the service provider.
Our experts offer ongoing support and guidance to help you navigate regulatory requirements, implement best practices and continuously improve your safety performance. We provide strategic advice, technical assistance and training to ensure your SMS remains effective and up to date.
