Implement SMS using the principles of Quality Assurance

A must have pocket guide tool box if you are required to have a Safety Management System (SMS) in your organization, or you have chosen to implement a SMS because you understand the success you will have as a result of gaining control of your environment and ensuring you are meeting your safety objectives.
DTI Training International, our partner in bringing this title to you, has been training and working with various organizations on the implementation of Safety Management Systems using the principles of Quality Assurance (QA). DTI has found the work that they have done, whether with the United States Department of Defense, NASA, Transport Canada, or with small operators such as flight schools and aerial applicators, the principles of the SMS are all the same.

Implement Safety Management Systems using the principles of quality assurance. These tools are imperative in any industry, including:
- Transportation
- Aviation
- Energy
Similar management systems are used in the management of other critical areas such as manufacturing quality, occupational safety and health, security, environment, etc.
Safety Management Systems for product and service providers and regulators will quickly begin to integrate modern safety risk management and safety assurance concepts into repeatable, proactive systems. SMSs emphasize safety management as a fundamental organizational process to be considered in the same manner as other aspects of business process management.
Safety Management Systems and Quality Management Systems are highly complementary and work closely together to achieve the overall safety goals of organizations. SMS is What we do; QMS is How we do it.
