Safety Management Systems (SMS)
MANAGE RISK. IMPROVE SAFETY. STRENGTHEN OPERATIONS.
We help 702, 703 and 704 operators build, implement and sustain practical Safety Management Systems that strengthen risk management and support a proactive safety culture.
OUR SMS APPROACH
Safety Built Into the Operation
An effective SMS connects leadership, operational risk management, assurance and continuous improvement. We help integrate those elements into the way your organization actually operates — rather than treating SMS as a stand-alone compliance exercise.
Leadership & Accountability
Clear policy, responsibilities and organizational ownership.
PRACTICAL SMS
Assurance & Oversight
Monitor performance, review effectiveness and identify emerging gaps.
INTEGRATED INTO DAILY OPERATIONS
Hazard & Risk Management
Identify hazards, assess risk and establish practical controls.
Continuous Improvement
Use reporting, findings and operational experience to strengthen the system.
SMS FOR 702, 703 & 704 OPERATORS
A Proactive Approach to Safety Management
For operators conducting operations under CARs 702, 703 and 704, a Safety Management System is not currently a general regulatory requirement solely by virtue of holding those air operator certificates.
Transport Canada has identified CAR 702, 703 AND 704 operators among the sectors being considered for potential SMS requirements. Developing a practical, right-sized SMS now can strengthen operational risk management while helping organizations prepare for possible regulatory changes.
AERALIGN can help develop an SMS tailored to the complexity and needs of your operation — providing real operational value without unnecessary administrative burden.
Build the system for the operation you have today — with the structure to adapt as requirements and operations evolve.
“A well-designed SMS isn’t just about meeting requirements — it’s about making safer decisions every day.”
SAFER DECISIONS.
STRONGER OPERATIONS.
