ISSA PREPARATION SERVICES
INTRODUCTION
For the operator who is either not currently eligible for IOSA certification (maximum take-off weight is below 5,700 kg) or the Operator who wants to take a first step towards gaining an ISSA registration, the IATA Standard Safety Assessment (ISSA) is a perfect solution. With an emphasis on both SMS implementation and conformity with ICAO requirements, the scope of the ISSA evaluation closely matches that of the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA).
While the amount of preparation work required to achieve and maintain your Registration may seem daunting at first, partnering with our GHS team of experts in order to formulate an organized and prioritized approach will provide to you significant business value, unique learning opportunities, and significantly reduce the overall stress level for your entire organization. This proactive approach is essential to you for achieving a successful audit outcome, minimizing findings, and avoiding a lengthy corrective action process.
GHS ISSA Preparation Services have been built upon our experience with multiple global audit programs and are entirely customizable to meet and exceed your specific business needs. Ranging from the conduct of a comprehensive GAP Analysis, creation of required manual revisions, and training course delivery, we are part of your “extended family” in achieving audit results in which you can be justifiably proud!
