Safety Management for Airport Construction Operations (SMS-ACO)

Course Description

This course is designed for airport supervisors, managers, operations personnel as well as all stakeholders that are involved in airport construction and construction management. The FAA requires that the Safety Risk Management process and the Construction Safety Phasing Plan processes be integrated into most significant airport construction projects. SRM is the heart of an airport’s Safety Management System. How to conduct the SRM process, integration of the CSPP and how these integrate with the airport's SMS is the core objective of the course.

Objectives: To provide students with the ability to conduct, participate in or oversee an SRM and/or CSPP process. To provide students with an understanding of how SRM and CSPP perform vital functions within an airport SMS.

Who Should Attend: Airport engineers in charge, airport operations personnel, ATC, Tech Ops personnel, engineering company project representatives involved in airport construction, FBO supervisors, AARF personnel as well as airline management pilots.
