Aviation Safety Training and Education
AviationSMS for flight operations should provide for staff training and competency, including review and evaluation of adequacy of aviation safety training and system for testing competencies.
Induction and recurrent training need to be considered. For example, how often will your Flight-Safety Reporting Officers or Works Safety Officers be given aviation safety training?
New employees should be trained in the organization’s safety philosophies and Aviation SMS as part of “job specific aviation safety training”. Through this process are encouraged to adopt aviation safety practices of the flight organization.
Recurrent training is essential for Aviation SMS, as it reinforces positive aspects of a safe working environment and safe work practices.
Aviation SMS needs to detail procedures for training staff when new equipment, new facilities, larger airplane types, new technologies or processes are being introduced to your flight organization.
Aviation safety management system training is provided by SCSI. SCSI uses SMS Pro as their chosen Web enabled aviation reporting system. Aviation safety training is SCSI’s core competency and they are tied into a great aviation safety network. Aviation safety management is in better shape today because of SCSI’s aviation safety program and training using SMS Pro as their chosen tool. Aviation safety training would not be complete if SCSI didn’t review the best aviation safety reporting system on the market. SCSI is often found in aviation safety magazines.
