EXTRACT FROM THE COMPANY’S SAFETY POLICY

Provide appropriate resources – human and financial – to support the implementation and management of safety
Ensure that the management of safety is a primary responsibility of all managers and employees
Clearly define, for all staff, managers and employees alike, their accountabilities and responsibilities for the delivery of the
organization’s safety performance and the performance of our SMS
Establish and operate hazard identification and risk management processes, including a safety reporting system – mandatory
and voluntary - in order to eliminate or mitigate the safety risks of the consequences of hazards resulting from our operations
or activities, to achieve continuous improvement in our safety performance
Minimise the possibilities of an injury, due to an accident, not only for company employees but for any third parties, e.g. clients
Ensure that no action will be taken against any employee who discloses a safety concern through the hazard reporting
system, unless such disclosure indicates, beyond any reasonable doubt, gross negligence or a deliberate or willful disregard of
regulations or procedures – “Just Culture”
Comply with and, wherever possible, exceed, legislative and regulatory requirements and standards and adopt the best
industry practices on safety
Ensure that all staff are provided with adequate and appropriate aviation safety information and training, are competent in
safety matters, and are allocated only tasks commensurate with their skills
Ensure that the facilities, equipment and services provided by external suppliers or contractors meet the safety performance
standards and requirements of our organisation
Establish and measure our safety performance against realistic safety performance indicators and safety performance targets
Constantly improve our safety performance through continuous monitoring and measurement, regular review and
adjustment of safety objectives and targets, and diligent achievement of these, and
Preserve our good reputation that might be disturbed by unprofessional employee actions
