Safety Management System Toolkit


Based on the findings of the U.S. Joint Helicopter Safety Analysis Team (USJHSAT) report issued in 2007, safety management problems were one of the broadest categories requiring intervention. This toolkit addresses the issues uncovered in the report and provides a Safety Management System (SMS) that proactively promotes safety through a continu- ous improvement program. This SMS includes atti- tudes toward assessing and managing risk and managing safety as a proactive organization behavior that employs safety-driven decision- making through risk assessment and promoting a positive and systemic safety culture. This SMS document is an advanced, integrated method of implementing standards identified by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the FAA Flight Standards Service (AFS-900). The toolkit provides assistance for organizations to achieve improved safety performance using a “performance based approach.” It encourages organizations to choose the solution that best suits their needs and performance objectives. The toolkit helps the organiza- tion determine their level of compliance and to develop an action plan that includes the necessary components. The introduction addresses the case for a Safety Management System (SMS) and describes what an SMS is.
