Transport Canada > Civil Aviation > Safety Management Systems (SMS) > Safety Management Systems (SMS) - Information Session

The intent of the information sessions are to provide details on the implementation of the safety management system (SMS) regulations.

Safety management systems represent a systematic, explicit and comprehensive process for managing risks to safety. Each system is based on an operator’s in-depth knowledge of its organization, and integrates safety into policies, management and employee practices as well as operating procedures throughout the organization. No two safety management systems are alike. As each organization integrates safety into daily operations, management and employees can continuously work to identify and overcome potential safety hazards that could cause accidents.

Objectives

The objectives of these information sessions are to provide the industry with basic information on SMS implementation, an overview of the regulations, exemptions and implementation phases as well as the opportunity to exchange information and best practices.

Upcoming Session
