Safety management is a
systematic, explicit and comprehensive process for the management
of safety risks, that integrates operations and technical systems
with financial and human resource management. The concept of
safety management reflects that safety cannot be purely a matter
of compliance of the different applicable rules and regulations.
Although such regulatory compliance is a necessary condition
to create a basis for the achievement of an acceptable level
of safety, in itself it does not guarantee high and consistent
safety levels within aviation systems. For this reason safety
management is an inherent and integral part of the operations
of all stakeholders in the air transportation sector.
The effectiveness of safety management depends largely on the
way safety management processes are implemented and embedded
within an organisation. In this respect it is of particular
importance how safety information is analyzed and disseminated.
Example projects
NLR-ATSI is able to provide support in any aspect of safety management,
ranging from organisational advice to specific safety information analysis.
For several customers we have put our expertise to the test, for instance:
- for Amsterdam Airport Schiphol support has been provided
in incident data analysis as part of the integral safety
management system Schiphol;
- for the airport of Geneva the safety management processes
relevant to the airport have been reviewed;
- under contract with the Royal Netherlands Air Force NLR-ATSI
has introduced Operational Risk Management with this organisation
as an essential element of safety management;
- NLR-ATSI reviewed the effectiveness and efficiency of the processes and organisations,
responsible for ensuring and managing aviation safety in Switzerland.
