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.
