Aviation Safety Management Systems (SMS)

Aviation Safety Management Systems (SMS) are structured approaches to managing safety risks in the aviation industry. They integrate processes for identifying hazards, assessing risks, and implementing measures to mitigate them. SMS promotes a culture of safety, encouraging reporting of safety issues without fear of repercussions. By systematically managing safety, organizations aim to prevent accidents and improve overall operational safety. This proactive approach not only enhances the safety of flights but also ensures compliance with regulations and fosters continuous improvement in safety practices across airlines, airports, and other aviation-related entities.
