Safety Management Systems

The office of the Senior Manager Safety Management Systems is responsible for ensuring a safe environment at the airport at all times. This is accomplished through a very robust system of daily inspections and active reporting of discrepancies by all airport employees and partners. Each occurrence is investigated and a risk assessment is made. Based on this assessment steps are taken to mitigate any hazards and bring any further risk to a level as low as reasonably practicable. As one of our core values states "We are Dedicated to a Strong Safety Culture".
