Purpose

Safety Management Systems (SMS) is a systematic approach to managing safety, including all necessary organizational structures, accountabilities, statements, processes, and procedures. SMS provides airport management with a set of tools to make safety-related decisions. SMS also helps airport management identify safety risks associated with airport operations, airport development, and with other changes and to proactively address those issues before they result in accidents, incidents, injuries, or damages. It materializes through a series of complementary processes and procedures, which are closely coordinated by a well-defined safety organizational structure in which the safety roles and responsibilities of everyone, including top management, are clearly defined and understood by all. Further, safety objectives and data analysis will facilitate a continually improving safety environment throughout the airport, provide a safe and secure work environment that meets all regulatory requirements, and improve our customers experience by making safety excellence an integral part of our day-to-day operations.

SMS applies to all HAS employees, stakeholders, tenants, and contractors that perform work on HAS property. Participants at the airport are authorized and encouraged to submit hazard reports and/or safety concerns to the SMS Program to help provide valuable data and information to help improve and manage the facilities overall safety and help guide the decision-making progress as it relates to safety.
