Safety Management System
Since 1998 with Order 8040.4 the FAA has been developing a systemic approach to managing risk. Safety Risk Management has evolved into Safety Management System (SMS) that encompasses all facets of any size operation. In practical terms SMS is a risk management tool that requires the constant analysis of data and the reexamination of an operation in order to ensure that stated policies and procedures are being followed or the development of new policies or procedures are needed in order to reduce risk.
Safety and efficiency need to be combined into a corporate safety culture. Management will dictate the corporate culture and AirlineCert, LLC has developed a data collection tool that will assist in the analysis and highlight areas of the operation needing management's attention.
