Safety Initial training (including Human Factors) for aircraft maintenance personnel is essential to provide a solid foundation in understanding the influence of human factors on safety, efficiency, and effectiveness in maintenance operations.

SMS (Safety Management System) refers to a systematic approach used by aviation organizations to identify, assess, and mitigate risks associated with maintenance activities. It is a proactive and integrated approach to safety that aims to enhance safety performance and prevent accidents or incidents.

SMS is an ongoing process that requires commitment and involvement from all levels of the organization. By implementing a robust SMS, maintenance organizations can effectively manage safety risks, enhance operational efficiency, and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.

This training should cover all the topics of the training syllabus specified in EASA Part-145 AMC2 145.A.30(e) and GM 145.A.30(e).
