Safety Management System (SMS) is essential for ensuring regulatory compliance and proactively managing risks within EASA Part 21 Subpart J Design Organisations.

With the introduction of a Management System combining compliance and SMS, organizations must take an integrated approach to oversight, risk management, and continuous improvement, strengthening safety culture, decision-making, and efficiency.

The course EASA Part 21 Subpart J Safety Management System Implementation provides a comprehensive introduction to ICAO and EASA SMS frameworks, guiding participants through key requirements, hazard identification, risk assessment, and safety assurance principles.

Topics include regulatory foundations, safety culture, reporting systems, change management, and best practices for maintaining safety performance.

The EASA Part 21 Subpart J Safety Management System Implementation course is beneficial for persons involved with Part 21 Design Organisations, including Safety & Compliance Practioners as well as stakeholders and Regulatory Authority Inspectors.

This training provides professionals with a comprehensive understanding of EASA Part 21 regulations, enabling them to ensure full regulatory compliance, enhance safety management systems, and effectively oversee certification, quality systems, and maintenance processes. It also equips CAMO staff with the tools needed to manage permits to fly, modifications, and continued airworthiness, ultimately improving organisational performance and operational safety.
