A IMPORTÂNCIA DAS POLÍTICAS MITIGADORAS NO SISTEMA DE GERENCIAMENTO DE SEGURANÇA OPERACIONAL

This research presents an analysis of the importance of operational safety policies, within the scope of airlines, with regard to flight safety. With the emergence of many airlines and, consequently, with the abrupt increase in demand for air services in the last decades, there was a need to improve the concept of flight safety, where it expands to a systemic and broad approach regarding the operation of an aircraft. Brazil, as a signatory state and in accordance with the established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), adopted the aviation security management model called the Operational Safety Management System (SGSO). The SGSO allows, through a structural approach, to provide operational safety management practices through: organic structure, lines of responsibilities and specific policies and procedures. As a research problem, this paper presents the following question: how can the SGSO contribute to the maintenance of operational security? As a general objective, it was proposed to analyze the possible contributions of the SGSO in maintaining operational security. As specific objectives, it intended to list the procedures that make up the SGSO, present the concept and the origin of the SGSO and establish the list of strategies appropriate to each context and the maintenance of security. As a research methodology, it presents a descriptive approach to be carried out from the resumption of a bibliographic study on the proposed theme, dated since 2009, the genesis of the implementation of the Operational Safety Management System in Brazil (SGSO). As a result, it presents the understanding of the SGSO as a promoter of proactive approaches in the way of managing the threat factors that involve air operations, acting in reducing the inherent risks to an acceptable level, in guaranteeing operational safety, within the productive interests of the industry. aeronautics.
