Why is it necessary to strengthen the capability to operate a Safety Management System (SMS)?

Many organizations have implemented a Safety Management System (SMS) but are not yet operating it effectively. One challenge is moving from a conceptual understanding of SMS to a clear understanding of how the components relate and how the system operates in practice.
During implementation:
  • Understanding of SMS remains at a conceptual level
  • The components of the system are not yet closely linked
  • Implementation remains fragmented across departments
  • SMS has not yet been linked to management activities and decision-making.

In-depth training on the Safety Management System, SMS Advanced
Operating an SMS effectively requires the components of the system to be considered, connected, and implemented in a coordinated way in practice.

This reduces the role of SMS in assuring operational safety. Strengthening knowledge and clearly understanding how the components of SMS connect in practice is therefore the foundation for improving the effectiveness of system operation.

SMS Advanced program objectives

The program focuses on consolidating and deepening understanding of the Safety Management System (SMS) in operations, enabling participants to:
  • Clearly understand the core components of the SMS
  • Understand the role of SMS in aviation operations
  • A systematic approach to implementing safety management
  • Understand the relationships among the components of the system.

Program content

The SMS Advanced program focuses on the following topics:
  • Elements of the SMS
  • Safety policy
  • Change management
  • Safety culture
  • Reporting system
  • Risk assessment

In-depth training on the Safety Management System, SMS Advanced
The program provides an in-depth view of the Safety Management System (SMS), helping participants better understand the core content and the relationships among those elements in operational practice.

The topics help participants go deeper into the components of the Safety Management System and understand the relationships among those components during SMS implementation.

Delivery approach

The course is delivered as follows:
  • Theory combined with sharing of practical experience
  • Discussion and exchange among participants.
Through learning, sharing, and discussion, the program helps participants gain a deeper understanding of how an SMS operates in practice.

Value gained after the program

After completing the program, participants can:
  • Clearly understand the role of SMS in the organization
  • Understand the structure and components of the system
  • Understand how to implement safety management
  • Strengthen the foundation for advanced safety activities
The program aims to help participants move from their existing SMS knowledge to a deeper understanding of the structure, role, and practical implementation of the system.

Which units is the program suitable for?

The program is suitable for:
  • Organizations that have implemented an SMS and need to improve operational effectiveness
  • Safety management and specialist teams
  • Units that need to strengthen the SMS foundation at an advanced level.

Tailor the program to each organization's actual SMS operations

SMS needs to be understood correctly and implemented in line with the characteristics of each organization. Differences in the level of implementation, the participants, and the operational context call for a training approach that fits, rather than applying a single common template.
Hung Viet adapts the content based on the current level of SMS implementation, designs the program to suit each participant group, and tailors the approach to operational characteristics, so that the training content aligns more closely with the organization's actual context.
