(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Oman Air has held a series of one-day training workshops for staff involved in identifying and evaluating hazards, and controlling risks across the company.
The workshops, held as part of Oman Air's implementation of Safety Management Systems (SMS) in accordance with International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and regulator requirements, were titled ‘Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment and Control (HIRAC) Workshops' and were held from November 12-14 at the Golden Tulip hotel in Seeb, Muscat.
The training was organised under the guidance of General Manager of quality assurance Janab al Sayyid. Captain Manin Khalifa al Said, his opening address said, ''The importance of knowledge attained through training such as HIRAC workshops cannot be overstated. Risk assessment is a key element in implementing safety management systems, ensuring that Oman Air operates safely, and offering a seamless passenger experience.
Getting risk assessment right helps us understand our corporate exposure to risks and make a difference, not only in assuring our safety levels are always high, but also provide a basis to sound business decisions. ''I would like to thank Neil Richardson, a senior consultant at Baines and Simmons, for running these high-impact workshops and providing a deeper understanding of safety risks, using real life examples.
I would also like to thank all those staff who took part and underwent a proactive and structured approach that gave them the tools to effectively identify hazards and evaluate risks before an event occurs.'' Oman Air is the flagship carrier of Oman and an Official 4 Star Airline (Skytrax 2011). Founded in 1993, the airline has since witnessed massive growth and has played a major role in making Muscat an important traffic hub in the Middle East.
