About Us

Safety Management Systems (SMS)

You know how to run your business - we know how to manage SAFETY... we train SMS to EASA Regulators and Corporations Worldwide - together we can become great partners.

“Safety management is about protection against undesired outcomes or losses…and of course flight safety, or not having an accident”.

Safety is not a naturally occurring state, if you want it, you have to organize for it and continuously pursue it. An effective SMS makes the difference between KNOWING that you are safe (and what that means), versus BELIEVING or HOPING that you are.

We believe an increase in the number of hazards reports is a good safety culture indicator:

Reports = early warnings = opportunity to assess risk and reduce losses proactively.

How many do you currently record a year? Do you know what are your top three hazards and what are you doing about them?

Our Expertise

Our experts focus on building sustainable Safety Management Systems – we understand the enabling components and have the skills and competence that pulls it all together. Where others only train, we provide SMS implementation leadership and essential tools for successful execution.

We provide SMS consulting services, we lead entire organization-wide-programs, and we provide in-company training services as well as open training courses. We offer a one stop solution for your SMS needs. Our own subject matter leaders provide SMS thought leadership to industry and have been selected through a world wide search by EASA to train their regulators in SMS.

We are experts in business loss management – however, as regulations expertise is at the heart of all our services and expertise, we will help ensure you comply with developing regulations. Our primary focus is your bottom line profit and protection from hazards.

Through our proven training and engagement process we will build SMS leadership and commitment. We understand commercial businesses and how they run, while at the same time we are experts in conveying the objectives of the regulations – this is a unique blend.

  2. Our unique SMARRT® and SCORE® rapid diagnostic tools can quickly benchmark your organizational safety culture and capability to assess your loss management.

We will give your staff the motivation, tools and skills to play an active role in safety management and create a participating culture – they will be better equipped to seek hazards, speak up, report and intervene.

  4. Working closely with you we will design and deliver a leading SMS framework, processes, procedures and tools which will support and sustain your SMS program. Our expert consultant’s can help you determine policy and strategic objectives, achieve management buy-in, manage hazard identification, error management and risk management, develop reporting systems, facilitate cultural change and train your organization.
