Managing Aviation Safety Procedures

Course Summary

 

Aviation comes with a significant number of health and safety risks which are unavoidable due to the nature of the industry. To combat these risks and minimise potential hazards, there should be strict and extensive health and safety standards to follow. Alongside these standards, an organisation must create their own safety procedures to protect the wellbeing of employees and customers.


 

 

To create and manage effective safety procedures, it is essential to have detailed risk management strategies in place. Risk management surrounds all areas of risk, starting with the process of identifying risks and hazards and their potential detriment. Once identified, hazards must be prioritised and categorised based on a variety of factors, including damage potential and probability. With this information, individuals will be able to establish effective safety procedures.


 

 

Utilising hazard information, those responsible can create safety procedures to outline and explain the ideal steps to be taken when in a situation of crisis. All safety procedures also need to be readable and accessible for any individual who needs to access them. 


 


 

During this course, you’ll learn:


 

To understand the vitality of aviation safety procedures within an aviation organisation.
To review local and regional laws and legislation regarding health and safety to ensure all procedures are compliant.
To explain the fundamental concepts behind safety management systems (SMS) as defined by primary aviation organisations.
To recognise the consequences of poor safety procedures on employees and customers.
To utilise various methods and techniques to accurately identify and prioritise hazards and risks.
To establish effective strategies to enhance existing safety procedures and measure procedure performance.
To promote a workplace culture that is aware of all safety procedures, and is confident in the roles of leadership, system structure and reporting systems.

 

This course is designed for anyone within the aviation industry that is responsible for managing health and safety. It would be most beneficial for:


 

Operations Managers

This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review real-world examples of safety procedures within aviation organisations to highlight essential details, major risks and areas that may be improved.


 

 

Through a combination of a variety of learning methods, including seminars, group discussions, individual and group activities, the participants will have ample opportunities to develop their knowledge of the taught content. To better guarantee full comprehension, participants will work alongside one another to create their own safety procedures and can offer and receive constructive feedback from others.
