In phase two of an ICAO compliant aviation safety management system (SMS) implementation plan, operators must deliver training to reactive risk management processes.
In phase three, safety managers must ensure that employees are trained in proactive and predictive risk management processes.
Finally, in phase four, safety managers will be delivering aviation safety training relevant to operational safety assurance.

During the implementation of formal aviation safety management systems (SMS), service providers are expected to develop and deliver SMS training to employees in every implementation phase except the first phase. For example:

Technology has made aviation safety management systems (SMS) much easier to manage as a whole. Furthermore, this formal, structured approach to managing safety has undeniably contributed to system safety.
Technology is wonderful. It has been changing our lives at an unprecedented rate, and we can easily see how it has positively affected the aviation industry.
Sophisticated software for hazard detection, autopilot, communications, aviation risk management software and

Many aviation service providers struggle with overcoming the difficulty of increasing participation and buy-in for their aviation safety management system (SMS). However, increasing participation in SMS doesn’t have to be difficult. After all, it is not rocket science.
Employees in your organization will be much more likely to participate if you design your SMS to be:

In aviation safety management systems (SMS), the best indicator of a highly performant safety culture isn’t one that has reduced operational risk close to zero, but one that readily adapts to and absorbs safety issues and disturbances as they arise.
In so many words, high-performing aviation SMS is simply able to adjust to instability rather than resist or deflect it. In other words: goes with the flow without any setbacks.

The process of aviation safety management systems (SMS), simply put, is the conglomeration of many small actions on the part of safety management teams, operational managers and employees.
Actions such as:

Unless you have been living under a rock since November 2006, it is highly likely that you have heard about the required safety management systems (SMS) that were mandated by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Since 2006, Canadians and Australians have been truly embracing aviation SMS with the most zeal.

Every person in a company should be concerned if their aviation safety management system (SMS) management is efficient and working as designed.
Management efficiency in aviation SMS implementations has significant stakes for everyone in the organization, as well as customers who use the company’s services.
Moreover, I think it goes without saying that aviation safety officers, who are both driven and naturally curious about their organization's safety performance, will be logically motivated to monitor the aviation SMS' performance.

Confidence in aviation safety management systems (SMS) is trust that the SMS implementation fulfills its obligations. The obligations of SMS include, of course, safety. But they don’t just include safety. The fact is that aviation SMS implementations that set out to only satisfy good-looking safety data or regulatory compliance will plateau or even implode before long.
