Safety Management Systems - A Review of Current Developments
An independent survey conducted by Baines Simmons
Introduction
As world leaders in aviation safety, we are evaluating the current state of SMS within the
aviation industry.
To help achieve this objective, we conducted an independent survey in April/May 2010, targeting select
individuals who represent a cross-section of the aviation industry. The survey consisted of 14 questions.
We are pleased to publish our initial findings from the survey.
Our analysis of the results is ongoing and we will be following up in due course with a thought leadership
paper which examines the responses in fuller detail. The results shown here are based on percentages of
respondents answers and are rounded to the nearest percent.
We would like to thank all participants who took time to complete the survey and contribute to the valuable
industry findings.

Question 8
What is the most pressing need for your company now in developing an SMS? Due to the free text nature of the results for question 8, they cannot usefully be translated to this format for
the initial findings. These responses and their impact will however be examined as part of the further study
into SMS in the aviation industry to be published as a Thought Leadership paper in due course.
