The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently proposed a rule requiring charter, commuter & air tour operators, and aircraft manufacturers to implement a critical safety approach.

This is an expansion to the Safety Management System (SMS) framework which mandates that U.S. airlines must proactively identify, monitor, and address potential operational hazards and went into effect in 2018.

“Expanding Safety Management Systems to other players in the aviation industry will reduce accidents and incidents and save lives,” said Acting FAA Administrator Billy Nolen. “As safe and efficient as our system is today, we must always strive to achieve the next level of safety.”

Proposed Safety Management System Rule Would Help Operators and Manufacturers Detect Safety Issues Early

"Did you fill out your new employee paperwork?"

"When does our insurance policy expire?"

"How many questions did he miss on the forklift certification test?"

"When was our shop last inspected and by whom?

"Does she have enough CE credits for this year?"

"What do we need to do to prepare for this audit?"

"Where can I find our updated Operations Manual and have all our employees read it?"

Sounds familiar, right?

Imagine that, instead of stopping what you're doing and scrambling to find the answers, you could simply reply, "It's in KAStrack!" to every one of those questions.

"Companies with cloud-based software and storage have access to their office from anywhere at any time—a big plus for businesses with remote employees. But that’s just the start of the benefits of cloud computing. At a basic level, cloud computing safeguards your data in the event of a natural disaster, a fire, theft, or other threats to your office space, as these data exist off-site.

"Cloud computing also reduces your IT costs. By storing data on external servers or running cloud-based software, you lower costs on computer equipment and the energy needed to run it. Additionally, cloud service providers negate the need to hire a dedicated IT staff and take upgrading and security off your hands."

Employees often have horror stories about a time they were basically left to “sink or swim” with a new employer, such as when they hadn’t been given appropriate training and onboarding after starting a new role. This can happen for a lot of reasons, especially if the employer needs someone to ...

"The most important advantage of investing in LMS software for compliance training is the power it gives you to prevent costly violations. Failing to resolve these issues can also hinder workplace productivity, cause on-the-job accidents, and compromise safety. There’s also a higher likelihood that you’ll lose your top talent if team members lack the targeted training necessary to bridge gaps in skills or knowledge. A compliance training LMS plays a crucial role in finding and addressing these gaps to ensure you have an effective training program."

When you hear the phrase “compliance training,” odds are you immediately feel a rush of boredom. Perhaps you get visions of an all-day seminar and the sting of a costly bill for an instructor, a facility, and materials—even though employees will walk away having gained relatively little insigh...
