The objective of an SMS is to facilitate creation of safety culture so that compliance to regulatory requirements happens as a matter of cause. Organizational culture takes time and effort to develop.
NAC Corporate SMS Manuals has safety and regulatory requirements to ensure quality assurance through embedding organizational safety culture within the NAC as a document holder in the PNG Civil Aviation System. Culture is built over time, and training like this helps in changing staff mindset and behavior towards safety.
This is a mandatory training that requires staff that are directly involved in safety as well support services undergo the training. Delivery of the training involves both theory and practical exercises covering a wide range of areas including, civil aviation rules, the SOPs related to the rules, hazard identification, risk assessment, incident reporting and emergency response.
NAC is committed to strengthen our safety culture within the Organisation and also across the aviation industry where every employee is proactive in contributing towards implementing safety measures on a daily basis in their line of work.
We are on track to have all employees, including the MD and Executives, of NAC undergo this important training by the end of the year.
This training is among many initiatives that are undertaken by NAC to reinforce safety as the top priority in our operations.
Our Safety Assurance and Regulatory Compliance (SARC) business unit is rolling this training out across the organization.
Safety remains NAC’s top priority across all of its airports and we are committed to ensuring we live up to the expectation of the regulator, the Government, the Airlines, the travelling public and our employees.
