Airline Safety Management Systems

SafetyNet will help you meet the ICAO 2009 Safety Management System regulations which state that: from 1 January 2009, States shall require as part of their safety programme, that an operator implements a safety management system acceptable to the State of the Operator that, as a minimum:

• identifies safety hazards;
  

• ensures that remedial action necessary to maintain an acceptable level of safety is implemented;
  

• provides for continuous monitoring and regular assessment of the safety level achieved; and
  

• aims to make continuous improvement to the overall level of safety
  

SafetyNet manages the full report life cycle. It starts with collecting the report, to processing and directing it through a distributed list of contributors to summarising and signing-off the report. There is no paper form or cumbersome fax for the pilot to negotiate when submitting an ASR.

The system is simple and intuitive to use and has been designed to fit perfectly to the shape of the modern Safety Management System – SafetyNet is low cost, low maintenance and high value.
