SMS is a proactive approach to safety that is expected to increase the likelihood of identifying potential safety problems and the development of barriers to inhibit potential exposures before they result in an incident or accident.
The Accountable Manager of the organization has the ultimate responsibility and accountability for the implementation and maintenance of the SMS as well as control of the human and financial resources required to implement and maintain the SMS. As SMS may identify otherwise unknown hazards and quantify the potential impact of such incidents, the implementation of SMS could also result in negligence and increased legal liability and therefore it is crucial that the accountable manager also fully comprehend the risk of not having an effective SMS in place and the potential exposure to liability.
Course Overview
This course is specifically designed to firstly make aviation managers, safety managers, safety and compliance specialists and auditors aware of how that the implementation of SMS could result in increased liability exposure and secondly to provide in-depth knowledge on how managers can discharge their duties and responsibilities with regards to SMS and in so doing may limit their exposure to liability.
Exercises and workshops will allow participants to obtain comprehensive understanding and awareness of both how to discharge their SMS duties and responsibilities, as well as to pro-actively minimise regulatory and legal implications.
