Introduction Many organizations ensure that their staff are made aware of Safety Management Systems implementation policies and procedures with an aim of minimizing the occurrence of adverse effects associated with risks. The Oxford English Dictionary define risk as ???the possibility of danger, injury, loss or any other adverse outcome???. This paper looks at the process of Safety Management Systems implementation and the role it plays in mitigating the various categories of risks in an Aviation environment. According to Stolzer et al. (2013), the objective of risk management is the enhancement of an organization??™s business performance. Safety Management Systems in aviation are particularly important in assisting the corporate personnel to develop workable risk management programs and draft them in workbooks for learning by their staff (Stolzer, 2013). Risk Elimination Nobel C. of Harvard Business School says that risk elimination from an organization??™s operations is an impractical. He explains that this is because risk involves decisions about something that has not happened yet. In such a case, all the facts about the decision that is being made are not known.
