Evaluation
System safety has the mandate of doing independent evaluation
of the aviation system and evaluating the level of risk present in a number of
sectors of the system. In order to achieve this objective, a process is used to
continuously analyse safety data. Safety data is obtained though various
sources:
Promotion
Safety promotion programs are conceived to inform aviation of
the dangers of aviation and to promote the use of safe practices and procedures.
In order to achieve this goal, a number of promotion tools are produced and used:
-
Safety awareness presentation
-
Safety material distribution
-
Safety management system (SMS) campaign
-
Support to company aviation safety management program
-
Regional safety council
-
Minister Observer program
-
Support to CASARA
