Safety Performance Management
e-learning course (2 hours of study)
This course is recommended for ‘Safety Managers, Accountable Executives and Aviation Safety Professionals’
You cannot manage what you cannot measure. ICAO has moved beyond static safety performance concepts toward structured safety performance management using SPIs, SPTs, and continuous monitoring of operational data. Organizations must now actively measure safety performance — not simply assume it through regulatory conformity.
This interactive course will guide you through the practical application of Safety Performance Management, ensuring your organization is equipped to measure, monitor and continuously improve safety performance. This course is designed in accordance with ICAO Annex 19 3rd Edition, the ICAO Safety Management Manual (SMM) Doc 9859, and IATA IOSA ISM — ORG Section, with full alignment to Risk-Based IOSA (RBI) maturity assessment requirements.
Risk-Based IOSA Has Changed The Rules.
Is Your Organization Ready?
Risk-Based IOSA introduces a maturity assessment of safety-critical systems and programs, focusing on pertinent safety risks while maintaining a baseline of safety.
What Auditors Check
Not just whether you have SPIs documented — but whether your safety performance framework is active, measurable and driving real decisions at management level.
What This Course Does
Prepares you to meet that standard — with the exact knowledge, framework and tools to demonstrate SMS maturity during your Risk-Based IOSA audit.
