The UK MAA’s approach to Safety Management focuses on managing the Risk to Life associated with military air systems operations, following guidance from the Health & Safety Executive. A thorough understanding of how your role aligns with UK MAA regulations and how your organisation’s safety management system supports these requirements, as well as the importance of contracting for safety, involves careful integration of safety deliverables from suppliers into systems and aircraft operations.
Achieving this organisational clarity prevents wasting time and resources on well-intentioned but fragmented activities. Ultimately, it is crucial for controlling risk, improving safety management, and enhancing overall business performance.
