Hinterland Aviation
Safety Policy Statement
As General Manager I pledge that Hinterland Aviation will be inexorable in our commitment to an active but proactive Safety Management System that will stand paramount with everything we do, whilst all necessary resources for its implementation will be provided.
Proactively we will strive to thwart and identify all hazards and risks, thus achieving Hinterland Aviation’s goal to mitigate and reduce any potential adverse effects to aviation
safety, injury and damage to people, environment, and property to as low as reasonably practicable.
I am ultimately accountable, however; all managers are responsible for executing the Safety Management System whilst each and every one you of all shares responsibility for ensuring we are constantly striving to uphold our commitment to safety, ultimately being the best we can be, not just for the organisation but for the colleagues standing next to you or our valued passengers boarding an aircraft.
Key to our success is the cultivation of Just Culture, our people will be willing and encouraged to self-report their own errors, hazards, and any other safety related information through a no blame policy for honest errors but will be held accountable for
wilful violations and gross negligence.
“REACTIVE ORGANISATIONS WILL PERISH, A PROACTIVE ONE WILL THRIVE”
