Weather Risk Management

High safety standards within the aviation industry are a critical element of the global aviation system. Increased efforts to further improve the safety record of the aviation industry have led to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to require States to implement a safety management systems within various sectors of the aviation industry, including airports, airlines, and air navigation service providers (ANSPs). In addition to basic regulatory requirements for SMS, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) have had great success in promoting the implementation of the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) programme to lift safety standards even further.

A Safety Management System (SMS) is a business-like approach to safety. It is an explicit, comprehensive and proactive process for managing risks that integrates operations and technical systems with financial and human resource management. An aviation SMS contains key elements that enhance the management of the business, manage associated risks and reduce costly accidents. The key to effective accident prevention in aviation is a systematic approach. In keeping with all management systems, an SMS also allows organisations to set goals, plan, and measure performance for continuous improvement. Continuous improvement can be achieved by monitoring system effectiveness and taking action to improve the system where required. This active monitoring means that organisations can address system failures even before an accident occurs. As a result, they are proactive instead of merely reacting after an event has already occurred, as with the reactive prescriptive program.
