The Global Aerospace Commitment to Safety

The Global Aerospace SM4 Safety Program has revolutionized the way insurance specialists help their clients achieve higher levels of operational safety. SM4 was built on the concept of integrating four critical safety components: planning, prevention, response and recovery. Its mission is to help organizations manage risk, enrich training efforts, strengthen safety culture and improve safety management systems.

Over the years, the SM4 program has evolved to meet the needs of the industry. Now in its 8th year, SM4 continues to provide targeted subject matter experts and financial support to the aerospace sector.

SM4’s web-based resources, monthly e-newsletter and various safety initiatives address the most crucial issues in aviation safety. We are committed to continuously improving these resources not only for our clients, but also for the entire aviation community. Throughout 2017 we will be adding enhanced media to the website to include complimentary safety podcasts and training videos. (tentative)

The Community of Excellence partners and subject matter experts have transformed the SM4 program to make it more visible and provide easy access to the many safety benefits it provides.
