SMS
Safety Management System (SMS) Focused on Improvement
Westwind operates under a comprehensive Safety Management System (SMS), which
- is proactive and predictive, seeking out problems before they become accident causal factors; and
- strives for continual improvement by constantly identifying and managing risk and measuring performance.
We actively encourage all personnel—and passengers—to:
- Report any hazards
- Use Stop Work Authority when needed
- Suggest improvements to reduce risks
Every input is vital to our Safety Culture, a culture where learning, transparency, and accountability drive us forward.
Beyond Compliance
Westwind doesn’t just meet safety standards, we exceed them. We go beyond compliance by implementing robust safety practices, including:
- Enhanced Operational Control
- Emergency Response Training
- Risk & Hazard Analysis
- Management of Change (MOC)
- Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA)
These safeguards ensure we’re not just reacting to risks—we’re anticipating and preventing them.
