Safety Management Systems
The prime prerequisite of air carrier responsibility is the safe conduct of operations. It underpins the reputation of the organisation. Regulators and customers expect this area of organisational management to be of prime importance to the company. Possessing the right tools and techniques is fundamental to effective management of safety in any organisation.
Gates Aviation Consulting can provide:
- Comprehensive safety management system (SMS) capability.
- Many years of experience in both air and ground operations, which underwrites our expertise in this area of activity.
- Comprehensive review of an organisation’s readiness in preparation for IOSA audits. This will provide a clear internal understanding of what is required and will pave the way for a smooth transition to being an approved operator.
Accident Investigation
The consultancy also offers, we believe uniquely, expertise in aircraft accident investigation. Such service can be offered in harmony with state authorities investigation expertise, or as an independent objective assessor. Work is undertaken on behalf of clients and/or aircraft insurers.
Specifically, Gates Aviation Consulting offers:
- "Expert witnesses" in aircraft accident investigation and causal factors.
- Specialist support in accident investigation.
- Stand-alone capability with trained and experienced accident investigators (ex-UK AAIB).
Food Hygiene and Safety
Requiring highly specialised know-how, this is an often overlooked aspect of "safe" airline operations.
We possess the expertise to:
- Advise on food safety and environmental health across airline networks.
- Review airline/airport catering facilities.
- Make recommendations on potential catering suppliers and/or protection of food safety.
- Advise on environmental health risks and control mechanisms.
