Managing Safety Excellence

Empower your Safety Management System (SMS)

Traditionally, many ANSPs manage their safety with SAFETY 1 concepts, focussing on unsafe system operation, identifying the causes of adverse outcomes, while risk assessments are employed to determine their likelihood. But why not bring your SMS to even more power, value and brilliance?

Introducing performance excellence systems-thinking concepts, such as the SAFETY 2 concept may assist in such efforts. By teaching resilience-engineering-based SAFETY 2 concepts, the users learn how to continuously anticipate developments, occurrences and steady system improvements. The SAFETY 2 concept does not ignore the existing Safety Management of an ANSP, it rather complements those current strategies and methodologies, with an emphasis on performance excellence.

DAS has developed an empirical-supported learning programme aimed to assist ANSPs to understand, review and incorporate a SAFETY 2 concept and its associated initiatives. The course is not only suitable for ATCOs, but also for ATSEPs and regulatory agencies.

Excellent safety management means not only identifying and minimizing risks, but—through Safety 2—also purposefully strengthening the system’s capabilities and potential. Those who live safety excellence create a culture where continuous improvement, proactive action, and human performance are at the center.
