SMS you won’t receive on your phone – but SMS as a Safety Management System.
The main purpose of a Safety Management System (SMS) is to identify risks in advance, understand their context, and implement measures before safety could be compromised.
This approach began to take shape in aviation in the 1990s, when it became clear that technical standards alone were not enough and that organizations needed structured processes and proactive risk management. Today, SMS is an essential part of safety oversight in every aviation organization.
At HELI COMPANY, SMS forms the foundation of all operational areas. High safety criteria are applied in aerial work, firefighting operations, training activities, and maintenance. Daily operations are built on clear procedures, thorough risk assessment, and regular evaluation of safety measures.
Maintenance and airworthiness management follow the requirements of EU Regulation 1321/2014, while training is conducted in line with ICAO recommendations, which represent internationally recognized standards for safe aviation operations. The effectiveness of the SMS is continuously assessed through internal audits, safety indicators, and regular safety committee meetings.
Safety management in aviation is not only about regulations, but also about the mindset of people who want to perform their work safely and responsibly. When these two aspects come together, a system emerges that protects every task and every person – which is exactly the objective of SMS at HELI COMPANY.
