Definitions:Hazard: Any existing or potential condition that can lead to:
- Injury, illness, or death to people;
- Damage to or loss of a system, equipment, or property; or
- Damage to the environment.
Hazards are conditions that are prerequisite to an accident or incident. Safety risk: The composite of the likelihood (i.e., risk) of the potential effect of a hazard, and predicted severity of that effect. As an example, the possibility of an overshoot by an aircraft landing on an icy runway would be considered a safety risk of the hazard. The hazard is "icy runway" and the risk is "possibility of an overshoot."
Delivering Aviation Safety Tools
Using the Web as a delivery platform allows NWDS to provide great tools for the aviation industry.
NWDS recognized that good tools are lacking, so we decided to create them tailored for the aviation industry. We don't try to please all industry segments. We focus on aviation safety management systems.
The following capabilities are all wrapped up into one application:
- Issue reporting, following ASRS guidelines (safety, security, quality, & compliance issues)
- Issue management, assign responsible managers, track costs, classification
- Corrective actions management
- Operational Risk Profile
- Internal Evaluation Program
- Document Management
- Email notifications of issues
- GAP Analysis
- Charting / Graphing tools
- Ad hoc queries of data with sophisticated querying
- Survey tools
- Policy template/placeholders
- Individual Flight Risk Assessment tool (adapted from FAA's guidelines)
- SMS Induction Agreement (to track who has been inducted into your SMS)
- Meeting Manager (document attendance, minutes, email invites, assign tasks, auto-generate agendas from open issues)
- Read File (tracks & documents who has read required company info)
