Aviation SMS Software Tools

Aviation safety management systems require formal, structured processes and procedures to increase standardization. Civil Aviation Authorities around the world, therefore, have customized their aviation SMS requirements around ICAO document 9859. ICAO Document 9859 strongly influence the FAA, EASA, Transport Canada and others to develop an SMS framework based on the following four elements or "pillars":

1. Safety Policy
2. Safety Risk Management
3. Safety Assurance
4. Safety Promotion

Around the world, the best aviation SMS database software programs follow these four well-known pillars. Every safety management system database must provide quality tools to save safety managers and department heads time and money. Whether your aviation hazard database starts with a simple hazard reporting tool, or a very sophisticated aviation risk assessment database program, you still need to ensure your program addresses these four pillars.
