ICAO

Software to support compliance with the ICAO Safety Management Manual

As a United Nations agency, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) stipulates that member countries make implementation of Safety Management Systems (SMS) mandatory for any certified aircraft operator, MRO, airport, air traffic service and flight training organization.

ICAO has proposed that SMS comprises of 4 basic components, or pillars, of safety management, namely:

Safety Policy

A procedural framework in which roles, responsibilities, authority and accountability can be established in order to implement safety.

An effective SMS Information Management solution can help manage your organization’s safety policy by controlling, managing and distributing your documents and policies electronically with full accountability and visibility.

Safety Risk Management

Establishes the adequacy of safety processes and controls based on the assessment of acceptable risk.

By capturing safety reports and aggregating them into one system for analysis, an effective SMS Information Management solution helps mitigate risks by identifying hazards so that corrective action can be taken.

Safety Assurance

Introduces and maintains systematic processes for managing safety which assure that safety goals and objectives are achieved, and which contribute to the continual improvement of safety and quality.an effective SMS Information Management solution helps you to plan, schedule, conduct, report, act and follow up on audits and evaluations.

Safety Promotion

A positive safety culture can be cultivated through training, communication and encouragement.
