Overview​​​​​
Safety Performance Indicators (SPI) are used to measure the safety performance of an aviation operation. This seeks to ensure that an industry operator's safety objectives and targets are achieved and that the SMS is functioning effectively. SPIs and Safety Performance Targets (SPTs) are used to monitor and track continuous improvement, safety performance and identify areas for improvement. Safety performance measurement is typically a combination of primary and leading indicators that support reactive and proactive risk management activities within an aviation operation.

This training extends the traditional safety assurance/compliance approach by focusing on SPIs to enable oversight and monitoring based on continuous improvement. Validation of SMS effectiveness is achieved by measuring and monitoring operational safety. This is the goal of performance-based safety. This course will familiarize attendees with safety performance management and help each operator develop, implement, monitor performance indicators in support of overall SMS performance evaluation and risk reduction and monitoring.

Who Should Attend?
​​​​Airline, general aviation, airport or third-party service provider personnel, compliance officers, safety officers, operations post holders, senior management, operational risk managers, quality auditors, safety analysts, aviation authority personnel, ATC representatives or anyone directly involved in business and strategic safety planning for operations.
