Here’s a closer look at the event and the insights shared by Alejandro.

The Safety Target Breakfast: Helping the Global Aviation Industry Become Safer

The Safety Target Breakfast is an important event aimed at promoting safety within the aviation industry.

The breakfast gathering brought together key stakeholders from various sectors of the aviation industry, including airline representatives, aircraft operators and aviation safety experts.

The primary goal of the event was to discuss and share best practices, innovative solutions, and emerging trends that can enhance safety standards in aviation.

Alejandro Oms’ presentation was a highlight (see pictured). His insights into safety management systems, risk management and aviation risk standards were highly anticipated and well-received by the attendees.

Safety Management Systems and Risk Management

During his presentation, Alejandro Oms delved into the critical aspects of safety management systems (SMS) and risk management.

He emphasised the importance of having robust SMS in place, which serve as the backbone of an organisation’s safety strategy. SMS involves systematic procedures, practices, and policies for managing safety risks and ensuring continuous improvement in safety performance.

Alejandro also highlighted the significance of risk management in aviation. Effective risk management involves identifying potential hazards, assessing the risks associated with them, and implementing measures to mitigate those risks.

The Basic Aviation Risk Standard (BARS)

One of the key points in Alejandro’s presentation was the Basic Aviation Risk Standard (BARS). Developed by the Flight Safety Foundation, BARS provides a comprehensive framework for managing aviation risk. It is particularly beneficial for organisations operating in challenging environments or remote locations.

Alejandro explained how BARS helps organisations to systematically assess and mitigate aviation risks, ensuring higher safety standards.
