Establishing a solid foundation is essential to achieving effective safety management implementation.
Safety management seeks to proactively mitigate safety risks before they result in aviation accidents and incidents. Through the implementation of safety management, Parties can manage their safety activities in a more disciplined, integrative and focused manner. Possessing a clear understanding of its role and contribution to safe operations enables a State, and its aviation industry, to prioritize actions to address safety risks and more effectively manage its resources for the optimal benefit of aviation safety.
BENEFITS OF SAFETY MANAGEMENT

System Approach
A total system safety approach considers the entire aviation industry as a system. All service providers, and their systems for the management of safety, are considered as sub-systems. This allows a State to consider the interactions, and cause and effect, throughout the whole system. It is often impossible or impractical to build all safety systems in the same way. Therefore, a primary concern for States and service providers is how to best manage the interfaces between dissimilar interacting systems.
