Management Systems for Airports, Volume 1: Overview. Transportation Research Board of the
National Academies, Washington, D.C., 2007.
This report explains what a safety management system (SMS) is and how a systems
approach to safety management will benefit both the safety and business aspects of airports.
The implementation of SMS represents a change in the safety culture of an organization. In
this regard, airport directors and members of their governing boards will find this document
particularly useful, because the successful implementation of SMS is dependent on the com-
mitment of the highest levels of management.
