    (SMS) Awareness Course
    Definition

    • A safety management system (SMS) is a


    systematic approach to managing safety,
    including the necessary organisational
    structures, accountabilities, policies and
    procedures. (ICAO)
    Objective

    • The objective of a Safety Management System


    is to provide a structured management
    approach to control safety risks in operations.

    account the organisation’s specific structures
    and processes related to safety of operations.
    Generic SMS Regulatory Framework

    • The ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices


    (SARPS) promulgated in several Annexes to
    the Chicago Convention require the
    implementation of a safety management system
    by the following aviation service provider
    organisations:
    • aircraft operators;
    • aircraft maintenance organisations;
    • air navigation services providers;
    • aiport operators.
    Generic SMS Regulatory Framework

    to include the requirement to implement a safety
    management system will be harmonised and extended
    to include :
    • training organisations, and
    • aircraft manufacturers.
    • As ICAO SARPS are not directly applicable within
    national legislative and regulatory frameworks, States
    shall establish safety programmes and, as part of such
    programmes, ensure that operators/service providers
    implement a safety management system.
    Course goals
    • The goals of the Safety Management Systems
    (SMS) Course are to:

    and related guidance material; and
