Safety Management System
Elevating Safety, One Flight at a Time.
San Bernardino International Airport believes everyone benefits from a safe and healthy environment. We are committed to maintaining the highest level of safety for our employees, tenants, and the traveling public through the effective implementation of a robust Safety Management System (SMS).
SMS is a formal, top-down, organization-wide approach to managing safety risk and assuring the effectiveness of safety risk controls. It includes systematic procedures, practices, and policies for the management of safety risk. Every manager, business partner, employee, and traveler play a part in making this system work.
Please join us in elevating safety one flight at a time.
