Safety management systems are a hot topic in the industry and should be on the minds of many maintenance professionals soon, if not already. AMT has recently participated in SMS related sessions at many key industry events including the Cygnus Aviation Expo, Heli-Expo, Aircraft Electronics Association, and the NBAA Maintenance Managers Conference.
There are many questions about the meaning and exact definition of ‘SMS’ today. Hopefully everyone got a chance to read last month’s AMT online article by Barry Ballenger titled “From The FAA: SMS: What Does It Mean for the AMT?” and Majella McDonald’s Management Matters article “What’s in Your Toolbox?” If you haven’t gotten a chance to read them, Google them and then be sure to visit http://amtonline.com/webinars/ to sign up to view our next webinar (yes, for FREE!) on Safety Management Systems and Your Organization.
On June 8 at 1 p.m. Central Time, AMT will be hosting a live webinar on SMS moderated by Technical Editor, Ronald Donner. Ron will be joined by three guest speakers: Robert Baron, Jerry Allen, and Scott Andre.
Once you’re signed up, we’ll be sure to send you a reminder before the event and in case you miss the live webinar we’ll send you a link to view the archived version later, at a time of your convenience. I’d like to thank the guest speakers and sponsors for making these webinars possible; stay tuned for more great information!
