Our SMARRT Diagnostics deliver independent measurement, rigour, and confidence. They help you to respond to the challenges of improving safety, operational and commercial performance in complex regulated organisations, by measuring integrated management system elements as well as key enablers. They provide independent, impartial, and rapid evaluation of management system maturity and effectiveness to your senior leadership team and boardroom.
The direction of aviation safety regulation is in the adoption of a performance-based approach, which requires organisations to demonstrate how well they are managing safety through their management system.
A well set up integrated management system achieves more than just positive safety outcomes. Yes, it assures the organisation and its stakeholders that it is compliant and managing safety risks. However, they are not bolt-on activities that service just a regulatory need but rather they are aligned to and enable meeting operational and commercial objectives.
When designing operations, standards and training, operators make assumptions about how work is done on the line i.e. ‘work-as-imagined’. LOSA provides a unique insight into ‘work-as done’ during real operations and provides valuable insights into what is actually working well, or not so well, on the line.
The risks associated with hazards seem obvious after an incident or accident; however, the initial identification and interpretation of hazards are some of the most challenging aspects of risk management. A Maintenance LOSA (MLOSA) adopts a proactive strategy to address this.
A proactive safety culture is a key enabler to ensuring effective safety management, helping to foster an environment where staff feel responsible for safety. This can be seen when they actively seek improvements, vigilantly identify hazards and utilise systems and tools for continuous monitoring, analysis, and investigation.
