Next SMS course offered in Myrtle Beach, SC

Friday, August 8, 2008

  

    In accordance with ICAO,  the FAA will be making Safety Management Systems (SMS) a requirement for U.S. aviation operations beginning in 2009. The Aviation Consulting Group can bring your organization into compliance! 

    A Safety Management System is just that; a system. It is a system that includes what the FAA refers to as the Four Pillars of Safety. The Four Pillars are 1) Policy, 2) Safety Risk Management, 3) Safety Assurance and Internal Evaluation, and 4) Safety Promotion. All of these components are linked together and create a culture that promotes safety by setting policies, identifying and reducing risks, providing a means for continuous assessment of the system through internal and external audits, and promoting safety through various methods and mediums.  

    TACG offers short courses on Safety Management Systems as well as full consulting engagements with organizations in order to facilitate compliance with the various components of an SMS. When you retain the experts at TACG on a consulting basis, we do all the work for you! Some of the benefits of our Total SMS Consulting Package include:
