Safety Management System

The airline industry is one of the largest global industries in the world. Airline companies in the airline industry have gone through challenging obstacles in the past decade. Many changes have occurred within the industry and increased regulations have driven up cost for the industry. The attacks on 9/11 left the industry in shock when planes were used in terrorist attacks in the United States. These attacks changed the mentality of the industry and shifted the focus towards safety. Safety was also a major concern in the industry with the breakout of SARS in 2003 and the H1N1 flu in 2009. The airlines had to ensure that public health and safety of the travelers were

Organisational safety management implies that disasters happen out of a complexity of intermingled reasons but not due to technical factors alone. Proper event management is a

Local protective measure planning equips first responders with the knowledge needed to organize efficient response results in the event of an emergency. Structured open dialogue between local emergency jurisdictions enables responders to delegate the appropriate individuals and equipment resources to the impacted local areas requiring the most aid following a terror event. By establishing a streamlined communication framework, local emergency responders can collaborate their efforts and resources to promote collective well-being. When a local emergency plan specifies what responders and resources belong where and at what time, response overlap and shortages can be avoided. Unionized response action established prior to a terrorist incident, serves to mitigate the risks, hazards and threat of injury or harm the people and property of the US face when a terrorism event occurs. Furthermore, a structured local emergency operations plan for a hazardous materials incident involving a terrorist is imperative to public health and safety, as the blueprint outlines protective measures the public can follow to minimize their exposure to dangerous substances. The people of a community affected by a terror event can be warned and notified of the event’s associated dangerous materials, which threaten their well-being, through a variety of methods such as warning sirens or horns, emergency alert systems, automated

An Initial recommendation determined that all local and state governments work together to develop one set of state protocols utilized during a crisis. These protocols would be implemented by all responding or involved agencies during a county or state crisis declaration. As with any area, territories and boundaries are a major issue. Without a clear, concise directive, the different state and local police agency jurisdictions may handle this combined protocol. However, the assortment of EMS agencies within my direct surrounding area would certainly have issues as to who establishes the EMS incident command. Unfortunately, there are still too many boundaries that even lower scale multi-victim motor vehicle accidents have previously caused friction between responding agencies.

The day of 9/11 sparked the attention of the aviation industry, citing that it will never be the same again. Different sectors

Ensure a safe and secure environment through law enforcement and related security and protection operations for people and communities located within affected areas and for all traditional and atypical response personnel engaged in lifesaving and life sustaining operations (United States, FEMA, n.d.).

This information will be used to establish priorities and develop an incident action plan. Resources and capabilities are employed based on the size, scope, nature and complexity of the incident. Should the disaster exceed the local governments, they would request assistance through mutual aid and assistance agreements, the State, or the Federal Government. Mutual aid agreements establish the roles and responsibilities of both parties, the procedures for requesting assistance and communication protocols.

Training of supervisors in how to communicate and demonstrate safety practices to employees (Gomez-Melia et al., 2011).

Planning committees and emergency managers often develop elaborate emergency operations plans, but fail to implement these plans through training and exercise to check its effectiveness. Simply put, many emergency operations plan are written but once they are written, they sit on the shelf until it is too late to exercise or train on the components listed in the plan. Once strength the GEOP has is that the exercise coordinators frequently conduct full-scale statewide exercises, Rehearsal of Concept Drills, and smaller scale, process specific drills to evaluate the components within the plan and its supporting documents (2015). Additionally, the GEOP is like a living document that is revisable at anytime to ensure that it maintains its effectiveness and best practices by incorporating lessons learned from exercises, and actual disasters and events (2015). The plan also provides detailed courses of action for guidance that is easily understood and actionable through concepts and operations, situation overview, and organization and assignment of responsibilities. Most importantly, the plan focuses on the functional needs of the whole community, and places emphasis on ensuring that there is positive engagement between the emergency management community and vulnerable populations through community outreach

Represent the State in the civil aviation arrangement with other countries and bilateral agreements under the constitution.

Safety at Boeing is paramount. Boeing states, "We value human life and health above all else and take action accordingly to maintain the safety of our workplaces, products and services. We are personally accountable for our own safety and collectively responsible for each other's safety. In meeting our goals for quality, cost and schedule, we do not compromise safety" (About Us, 1995). Diversity and inclusion are key core values

On the other hand governments support aviation industry by building airports, roads and hotels near airports, because they recognize this industry as an important ingredient for economic well-being. In addition governments arrange security at the airports to ensure safe journey. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have had negative implications for the industry. Over the years, all the airlines have changed their routes, marketing tactics and prices; they are also making an effort to reduce the fear and negative image associated with air-planes. Governments have imposed strict security checks on air travel passengers in order to avoid any unforeseen terrorist activity.

Airline industry is a growing and a challenging industry across the globe and it is becoming more competitive on quality, pricing and most prominently safety in the contemporary world.
