Document Management
The written word is a powerful tool in Aviation Safety Management. With Operations Manuals, Procedures, Policies, Expositions, Notifications, Directives, Process…etc.. the list is endless. However numerous the documents are, quality, clarity and conformity are still essential in every one. Documents need to be clear to understand and interpret with no room for ambiguity. They should be written in a way that ensures that you say what you do and you do what you say. Many generic manuals are provided from numerous sources but are they reflective of your operation?

Safety management prevents the undesirable events prior to them becoming reality

Maintenance Error Investigation
The prevention of maintenance errors through safety management and Human Factors management is an essential part of modern aviation and safe and sustainable operations. However, the potential for an undesirable event is sadly sometimes realised in the form of an error occurrence. When this happens, identification of the root cause and the implementation of effective controls is vital to the prevention of escalation or re-occurrence
