Welcome to the CanWest Air and Alberta Central Airways SMS Program!
CanWest Air and Alberta Central Airways are committed to the health and safety of its employees and customers. We achieve this in part through our commitment to meeting the standards and requirements of a safety management system as defined in the ICAO Safety Management Manual, Doc 9859 and Transport Canada's SMS requirements for Air Operators.
SMS (Safety Management Systems) introduces an evolutionary process in system safety and safety management. SMS is a structured process that obligates us to manage safety with the same level of priority as other core business processes. CanWest Air's SMS implementation strategies will focus on:
- Process safety culture;
- Compliance with standards, codes, regulations, and laws;
- Hazard identification and risk analysis;
- Asset integrity and reliability;
- Engage management;
- Measurement and metrics for safety awareness and as a product.
