Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: A+, , language: English, abstract: This paper evaluates an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHMS) of an airline. Ultimately, the goal of the Safety Management System (SMS) for the airline is to prevent accidents and harm. But aviation operations will always be subject to operational hazards and their associated risks, and the SMS provides a systematic approach for reducing these risks as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) to an acceptable level by reducing their probability and/or consequence. Therefore, the SMS is designed to be a dynamic foundation that goes beyond compliance to continually improve safety performance in practice. Still, this coordinated business approach to safety also provides significant additional benefits, including proactive management of change, operational efficiencies, and employee engagement. However, the airline is a complex organisation with multiple management systems, dispersed operations, many technical functions, highly regulated-overlapping State jurisdiction, and is subject to multiple national regulations. Besides, there are multiple management systems supported by different departments in an airline.
