What is an Aviation Safety Programme?

An aviation safety programme is a formalised and documented plan that focuses on creating safety awareness and reducing accidents. It achieves this through two primary functions, risk management and safety awareness.

The safety programme includes all activities carried out within an organisation in order to maintain and promote safe practices. Such activities will usually include a hazard identification system, an occurrence reporting system, and safety surveys. Awareness will be raised by seminars, videos, magazines, meetings, posters, etc. A good safety programme will stimulate good communication.

A safety programme is a very important part of sound professional work practices. Safety should be very much a part of all aspects of your organisations activities.

A Safety Coordinator can advise and make recommendations – the authority and instructions for implementation must come from a management level. The success or failure of any aviation safety programme rests at that level.

The first step must be top management commitment to a safety programme.

The CAA can provide formal training for your Aviation Safety Coordinator.

Why Have a Safety Programme?

The short answer is, "If you think safety is expensive, try having an accident!"

You may be insured for direct costs, but the indirect costs of an accident are many times greater. A safe operation could be critical to staying in business.

The benefits are many and include a safer operating environment for employees and passengers, a more cost-efficient operation, and a positive image leading to public confidence and business opportunities.
