Safety Policy Statement

Safety policy and objectives set out the framework for reaching our goals and the metrics the PHL SMS team will use to measure safety progress. PHL’s Policy Statement demonstrates Management’s commitment to providing resources to identify and resolve safety concerns through data collection and collaboration within the Airport community. With strong management support, the PHL SMS provides opportunities throughout the organization to make informed decisions. One of the Airport’s core SMS goals is to ensure high-risk, unsafe conditions are prioritized and resolved as quickly as possible and are monitored to support continuous improvement. The Airport’s Safety Policy Statement below presents PHL’s Management’s commitment to safety.
