Reasons to Enhance Hazard Reporting for Enterprise Aviation Safety Systems
Data collection continues to remain one of the most important elements of an effective aviation safety management system for any enterprise, large or small. Without data categorized into a logical, organized system, airlines and airports are unable to measure or generate statistics for continuous improvement.
Older Workforce Require Special Hazard Reporting Systems
User-friendly aviation SMS hazard reporting systems are well integrated into SMS Pro. NWDS understands that many users don't have extensive computer backgrounds and are easily intimidated by complex systems. Furthermore, America's workforce continues to age. Aviation workers that are 60 years old are not uncommon at airlines and airports. These older users require larger fonts, user-friendly interfaces that will not confuse or frustrate them.Aviation SMS Hazard Reporting Based on Trusted Model
SMS Pro's hazard reporting system focuses on acquiring data based on the nature of the incident. NWDS didn't recreate the wheel when we designed SMS Pro's Issue Reporting modules. In SMS Pro, we don't use the word "hazard." Users report "issues," and we chose this word carefully because user reports may cover aviation safety, security, quality, compliance or environmental issues.Types of reported issue evolve from NASA's Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS). NWDS believes most users trust NASA to create a credible data-gathering system. Also, NWDS would like to interface with ASRS in the future.
