An Innovative Concept in Aviation Safety

As the world's leading specialist aerospace insurer, Global Aerospace has been servicing the needs of the aviation industry for over 85 years. Their exclusive focus on aerospace enables them to assess each risk on its own merits, providing customized solutions and dedicated services.

In partnership with Global Aerospace, Baldwin Aviation will offer all four critical components of Safety Management to their mutual clients: Prevention, Planning, Response and Recovery. This innovative concept known as SM4 brings together experts in the fields of Safety Management Systems (Baldwin Aviation), Human Factors (Convergent Performance) and Emergency Response Planning (Fireside Team).

What makes SM4 unique is the comprehensive approach to support and services. Effective safety programs integrate all four of the SM4 components, but operators have, until now, learned about each component separately. Through SM4 , operators can more efficiently and effectively combine the components. As the industry leader in SMS, Baldwin Aviation’s participation in the partnership will provide the expertise to support and train Global Aerospace General Aviation clients on:

  • Safety Management System
    • What is it?
    • Why is it needed?
    • How to implement
    • What data needs to be collected?
    • How to maintain
    • What are the benefits?
  • Just Culture
    • What is it?
    • Hazard & Error Reporting
    • Expectations and Accountability
    • What are the benefits?
