Introduction

Developing and implementing an effective Safety Management Systems is one of the challenges in
modern aviation organisations. This course provides the delegate with the opportunity to meet
such challenges head on by providing them with the tools, knowledge and methodology to
successfully implement a SMS in their organisation in response to ICAO Annex 19, ICAO Doc
9859 and EASA Management System requirements defined in European Aviation law. This
course provides a comprehensive introduction to the SMS concept for delegates from Air
Operations, Training Organisations, Maintenance and Continuing Airworthiness Organisations,
in addition to those from Aerodromes, Air Navigation Service Providers and ATC Services. The
course will cover State Safety Programmes, Service Providers' Safety Management Systems,
Hazard Identification and Risk Management principles, Safety Assurance, Safety Performance
Indicators and Safety Promotion. The course will use case based studies throughout, to apply a
practical aspect to the theory learned.

This workshop variant of the course will ensure that there is ample opportunity for the delegate
to develop hands on experience of conducting Hazard identification and Risk Management
exercises throughout the course. Much time will be dedicated to the concept of Bow Tie and other
dynamic risk management models.

This is an application level course and participants should plan to bring the following:

A laptop computer with memory stick.

Hard copy and electronic copies of their current hazard log, risk assessment tools and/or manuals used in their
own Management System Content
