Overview​​​​​
Safety Performance (SPIs) are used to measure safety performance of an aviation operation and are used as a core part of the safety assurance function to ensure that an aviation operator’s safety goals, objectives and targets are achieved and the SMS is operating effectively. SPIs and Safety Performance Targets (SPTs) are used to monitor and track continuous improvement, monitor safety performance and identify areas of inadequate performance. Safety performance measurement is typically a combination of leading and lagging indicators that support reactive and proactive risk management activities within an aviation operation

This training expands upon the traditional safety assurance/compliance approach by focussing on SPIs to enable performance-based oversight and monitoring. The validation of the effectiveness of the SMS is achieved by measuring and monitoring the actual demonstration of the operational safety performance. This is the objective of performance-based safety. This course will familiarise the attendees with Safety Performance Management and how it will assist each operator to develop, implement, monitor and analyse Safety Performance Indicators in support of overall SMS performance evaluation and systemic risk reduction and monitoring.

Who Should Attend?
Airlines, General Aviation, Airport or External Service Provider Safety Managers/officers, Compliance Managers, Airline Safety Managers, Operations Postholders, Senior Managers, Operational Risk Managers, Quality Auditors, Safety Analysts, CAA, ATC Representatives, or anyone directly involved with strategic safety planning for operations.
