“…The following categories denote the progress expected from the SMSVP participants by the FAA: Within the collegiate aviation operational environment in the United States, the number of studies related to the SMS is relatively limited (Adjekum, 2014b) and most of the reviews would be on the broader perspective of SMS in high reliability organizations such as aviation. Gill and Shergill (2004) studied employee perceptions of SMS and safety culture in New Zealand's aviation industry and tried to develop a scale to assess the management of safety. Their study also focuses on safety culture and rather than define what the components and elements of a successful SMS were, the authors rather considered the current approach to safety management within the organizations being studied in a general manner.…”

“…18 A study found that organizations have been focusing more on their staff's safety responsibilities than on implementing an effective SMS and encouraging positive safety culture. 19 However, human error is considered as a primary cause in 70%-80% of all aviation incidents and accidents. The safety standards should recommend to incorporate error analysis during operation.…”

There has been growing emphasis on quality measures and process analysis techniques that may be implemented in the daily practice of aviation refuelling to improve the overall quality of safety care. The quality assessment and process controls are most effective when used to determine the level of execution proficiency against the standard of aviation fuel quality control and handling. In this article, we have developed the quality assessment tools, control charts and new key indicator to prioritize the quality improvement that should be actionable and specific to guide process improvement efforts successively. Changing from a regular visual check to an automatic visual inspection tool, as well as from a pass/fail criteria to a satisfaction scale from 1 to 10 in the control, produces systematic data. Control charts are an effective way to separate a change in the process, so the user can focus on issues that are more likely to improve quality and safety. Our proposed quality assessment tools, process control and quality improvement prioritization were used to provide continuous feedback on the aviation refuelling service's capability to exceed the standards.

“…A number of studies e.g. Flin et al, [26], Gill and Shergill [30] have confirmed the need to consider not only key organisational factors, but also to take account of individual factors, such as personal appreciation of risks and involvement in safety-related decisions [26,29]. It is important for a company to understand that if one wants to develop something, it must be made meaningful for the employees, because otherwise it will be an uphill battle.…”

Abstract:The objective of this research was to examine the development of safety management in case company Production division. The emphasis is on the present situation and the purpose was to give a general view of safety management. The idea was also to create practical implications as development focuses for the future. The theoretical background of this research is based on organizations, management and leadership, safety culture, safety management systems and risk management. The safety management systems and methods and the historical background were reviewed. The case description is based on ten interviews made in four production sites of the case organisation. The interviews were used to create a description of the historical development and the applications of different sectors of safety management. The most important strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats are summarized by applying SWOT analysis. The present situation of the corporate safety and security was assessed by means of an applied version of Capability Maturity Model Integration. The future development focuses were created on the basis of theory, interviews, SWOT analysis and CMMI model. Personnel safety, crime prevention, security of premises and safety in case of nondomestic activity are on a low level. Occupational and Environmental safety are on a highest level. Safety actions should be more proactive and systematic.
