Safety Management Systems Training


The purpose of these courses are to provide guidance on the implementation of Safety Management Systems (SMS). They have been developed to give sufficient understanding of SMS concepts and the development of management policies and processes to implement and maintain effective SMS.

Safety Management Systems (SMS)

Objectives:

To provide students with an overview of what a Safety Management System is, how an organisation should form one and the responsibilities of management and staff all have in order to promote and maintain a culture of safety within an organisation.

The UK CAA states that ‘A safety management system is a systematic and proactive approach for managing safety risks. As with all management systems, SMS includes goal setting, planning, and measuring performance. An effective safety management system is woven in to the fabric of an organisation. It becomes part of the culture; the way people do their jobs’.

Benefits:

Provides the students with all the key information required when considering safety management systems within an organisation.

This course will:

The course includes the following:

  • Management Systems Overview.
  • Why an SMS is required and its components.
  • Safety Policy and Objectives.
  • Roles and responsibilities.
  • Risk Management and Risk Assessment.
  • Hazard analysis.
  • Investigating occurrences.
  • Safety Assurance.
  • Monitoring Performance.
  • Safety Promotion.
  • Communication, training and education.

Root Cause Analysis

Objectives:

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a methodology used to solve problems at their root, rather than just fixing the mistake after and error occurs. Correctly performed, a Root Cause Analysis can identify breakdowns in your processes or systems that contributed to the non-conformance and determine how to prevent it from happening again.

This training has been developed to:
- Familiarise process owners/area managers with the basic principles of Root Cause Analysis.
- Provide practical examples of RCA methods applications.
- Improve safety awareness.

Benefits:

This course will:

The following topics will be covered in this presentation:

  • What is Root Cause Analysis and why do we need it?
  • When can we use Root Cause Analysis?
  • The Root Cause Analysis process
  • Identifying the Root Cause: RCA methods and application
  • Identifying and implementing solutions

Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS)

Objectives:

Upon completing the course delegates will have a sound understanding of the science behind FRM, the requirements of Part-ORO with respect to FRM, the components of fatigue risk management and the processes (predictive, proactive, reactive) used to identify, measure, mitigate and manage fatigue risk within their operation.

Benefits:

This course will:

The course aims to provide an understanding of:

  • Terminology and Abbreviations relating to FRMS
  • Sleep Need and Performance
  • Managing Alertness
  • FRMS as a Concept
  • Regulatory Structure
  • Reporting Fatigue Risk
  • Implementing FRMS
  • FRMS and SMS
