Risk Management and Safety - University of St. Gallen (classroom)

3-day (24 hours) classroom course

The management of risk is highly relevant for any company. Risks have to be addressed on a corporate and operational level and managing those is part of good corporate governance. Aviation safety is highly regulated, but is regulation enough? This course explains how to be compliant with regulations and offers tools and practices to be efficient. The topic of safety culture will be discussed. This course will link top-level risk management with operational risk management on an operational, strategic and financial level with a strong operational safety risk management focus.

This course is part of the IATA - University of St. Gallen Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) in Global Aviation Management.
