Course Overview
The Aviation and Defense Safety course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals provides industry-specific safety training for professionals working in aviation (commercial, general, military) and defense (manufacturing, maintenance, testing, range operations). These industries operate under unique regulatory frameworks (FAA, ICAO, DoD), face unique hazards (flight operations, FOD, explosives, ordnance, high-energy testing), and require safety management systems that address both conventional occupational hazards and the mission-critical safety requirements specific to aviation and defense.
The curriculum covers aviation Safety Management Systems (ICAO Annex 19, FAA SMS framework), flight safety (human factors, crew resource management awareness, flight safety reporting), ground operations safety (ramp, hangar, fuelling, pushback), Foreign Object Debris/Damage (FOD) prevention programmes, aviation HAZMAT (fuel handling, de-icing, aircraft cleaning chemicals), Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) safety (aircraft maintenance hazards, LOTO for aircraft, confined space in aircraft), defense manufacturing safety (explosives, propellants, pyrotechnics), range and testing safety (live fire, ordnance, exclusion zones), laser safety awareness, and the integration of occupational safety with mission/flight safety. All training is delivered 100% online through the American Institute of Safety Professionals LMS.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completing this program, participants will be able to:
- Apply aviation SMS per ICAO Annex 19: safety policy and objectives, safety risk management, safety assurance, and safety promotion — the four-pillar framework for aviation safety management.
- Manage ground operations safety: ramp hazards (jet blast, propellers, GSE traffic), hangar operations, fuelling (static, spills, fire prevention), and the ground safety that prevents the incidents occurring outside the aircraft.
- Implement FOD prevention programmes: FOD walks, tool accountability, container management, and the FOD prevention culture that prevents the foreign object damage causing catastrophic aircraft failure.
- Manage MRO safety: aircraft maintenance hazards (falls from aircraft, confined space in fuel tanks, LOTO for aircraft systems, chemical exposure from sealants and coatings), and the maintenance safety specific to aviation.
- Apply defense-specific safety: explosives safety (quantity-distance, compatibility groups, operating procedures), range safety (surface danger zones, range control, cease-fire procedures), and the safety requirements unique to defense operations.
Core Topics
- Aviation SMS: ICAO Annex 19, FAA framework, four pillars
- Flight Safety: human factors, CRM awareness, flight safety reporting, just culture
- Ground Operations: ramp, hangar, fuelling, GSE, pushback, jet blast
- FOD Prevention: walks, tool accountability, containers, culture, damage prevention
- Aviation HAZMAT: fuel, de-icing, chemicals, regulatory requirements
- MRO Safety: maintenance falls, confined space, LOTO aircraft, chemical exposure
- Defense Manufacturing: explosives safety, propellants, pyrotechnics, Q-D
- Range and Testing: live fire, ordnance, exclusion zones, range control
- Laser Safety: classification, controls, protective eyewear, restricted areas
- Human Factors: fatigue, complacency, pressure, distraction in aviation/defense
- Regulatory Framework: FAA, ICAO, DoD, OSHA applicability
- Integration: occupational safety + flight/mission safety combined
Mode of Delivery
Participants will receive online training through Microsoft Teams and LMS. Courses are offered by accredited broadcasters and backed by expert instruction and official study materials.
