SMS IMPLEMENTATION & UPGRADE

Embodying SMS requirements

The target of this service is to support the implementation of a safety management system (SMS) within design and production (Part-21) as well as maintenance organisations (Part-145), which are the remaining domains for which ICAO Annex 19 SMS requirements have not been fully transposed under EASA regulations.

INDUSTRY IMPACT

With the support of AlphaOmega Safety Multi-Services, aeronautical service providers are enabled to manage safety in accordance with regulatory requirements and best practices. Whether the organisation already has an SMS in place or needs to implement it, Alpha Omega Safety Multi-Services will provide sound expertise to reach improved safety management effectiveness.

SERVICE STRUCTURE

AlphaOmega Safety Multi-Services offers SMS implementation & upgrade services in a modular fashion, according to the degree of sophistication in SMS implementation.

BASIC

AD-INTERIM MANAGEMENT

As a company begins SMS implementation or undergoes a major organisational change, ad-interim management provides solid safety management know-how.

Alpha Omega Safety Multi-Services’ SMEs have a proven track record and act as ad-interim safety managers to help an organisation meet compliance needs and continuous improvement ambitions.

SAFETY MANAGEMENT MANUALS

One of the first steps of SMS implementation is to author and publish a compliant safety management manual (SMM). Alpha Omega Safety Multi-Services will produce compliant and fully customised SMMs.

Periodic documentation reviews and the integration of the SMM in digital systems complement this service.

MATURE

SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT

An early, as well as periodic, safety management effort is to perform the safety risk assessment of the consequences of the hazards an organisation is exposed to.

Alpha Omega Safety Multi-Services leads safety risk assessment sessions to help identify hazards and properly categorise their components to ensure thoroughness and provide meaningful safety intelligence.

SAFETY ASSESSMENT & AUDITING

Compliance and continuous improvement of safety management efforts need to be periodically assessed and audited in order to derive maximum effectiveness.

Alpha Omega Safety Multi-Services performs a safety assessment of aviation operations looking at relevant individual processes and how these fit into the overall SMS.

Alpha Omega Safety Multi-Services looks at the safety objectives, determines the effectiveness of safety performance indicators (SPI) and determines how the organisation is performing vs. how it should be performing.

LOSA

The line operations safety audit (LOSA) is a safety analysis tool to derive meaningful and accurate safety information.

Alpha Omega Safety Multi-Services thoroughly instructs an organisation’s relevant workforce on the LOSA tool to develop a LOSA programme.

THREAT & ERROR MANAGEMENT

The threat and error management (TEM) framework is a theory oriented at improving individual and collective performance by recognising and managing threats (external) and errors (internal) in real operations.

Alpha Omega Safety Multi-Services trains people to manage their performance so to maximise safety and improve engagement.

FATIGUE RISK MANAGEMENT

Operator fatigue is recognised as leading cause to safety events in the aviation work environment. Fatigue risk management (FRM) requirements are mandated in flight and recommended in maintenance operations.

Alpha Omega Safety Multi-Services’ human factors experts train people to recognise the effects of fatigue and to develop a scientifically solid fatigue risk management system (FRMS).

ADVANCED

SYSTEM SAFETY

Safety management is an ever-evolving science and profession. System safety, as a newer approach, moves beyond the current focus on probabilistic risk assessment and promises to better account of the complexity of aviation in the 21st century.

The subject matter experts of Alpha Omega Safety Multi-Services are pioneers of system safety and will provide knowledge to an organisation to be ever more proactive.
