SMS Requirement for any modern business  co Communication Safety Management Systems Implementation  Safety Management Systems (SMS) It consists in a set of coherent policies (integrated and documented), procedures and practices for effectively managing the safe operation of any business

A complete SMS should: Integrate security, healthy/labor safety and safety Encompass safety issues applicable to the public in general and all the people involved in the business  co Communication Safety Management Systems Implementation  Safety Management Systems (SMS)

ICAO: SMS is a system for managing aerodrome safety, which should include: Organizational structure  Responsibilities Procedures Process Provisions For implementing safety policies by aerodrome operators co Communication Safety Management Systems Implementation  Safety Management Systems Standard

Main objective of a SMS: To comply with the relevant standards/regulations Organizational and human aspects of an aerodrome operation  The products SMS focuses on: Quality systems focus on: co Communication Safety Management Systems Implementation  Safety Management Systems for Airports
