SAFETY MANAGEMENT
We can help your organization design and implement a Safety Management System that meets all current and planned regulatory requirements for SMS. If you are a Canadian operator or service provider we will ensure your Safety Management System meets or exceeds all Transport Canada requirements.
More importantly, wherever you are in the world, we will ensure that your SMS fits appropriately and efficiently with what you do. Too often, SMS is thought of as another layer of administration that requires the creation of thick manuals and many new processes, and that implementing an SMS means you will need to purchase expensive software – but that is not the case.
An SMS must be appropriate in size and complexity to the size of your organization. We understand what that means and will ensure that your SMS is right for your needs and your existing processes. Our marine experts and consultants have been involved in SMS development and implementation since the concept and philosophy first emerged. In the aviation realm we have experience in all sectors of civil aviation where SMS is a requirement: Airlines, Air Traffic Control, Airports, MROs and charter operations.

We have extensive experience as aviation consultants assisting CAAs with design, implementation and operation of the State Safety Program.
