Safety Management System Policy

The Ottawa Airport Authority is committed to excellence in safety management. Our primary objective is to build, operate and maintain a safe, sustainable airport for our employees and customers.

Our commitment is delivered through a collaborative approach, with continuous review and improvement of our operating performance. Our safety programs are driven and supported by management working together with our strong, flexible and capable team of professional employees.

Management will lead our efforts to:

• Train and educate our employees in support of safety excellence;
• Promote a culture whereby employees:
  • Voluntarily self-report acts, deficiencies, hazards or occurrences that threaten safety; and 
  • Actively identify, seek out, report and rectify hazards in order to maintain a safe sustainable airport;
• Set specific measurable goals for safety performance and regularly report on these results; and
• Meet all applicable safety laws and regulations
