Product safety is a cornerstone of Portsmouth Aviation’s technical services. Our enduring commitment to engineering excellence ensures that our safety management systems are both robust and adaptable to meet evolving regulatory requirements.

Drawing on decades of expertise, we deliver tailored solutions that prioritise safety and compliance while fostering innovation and efficiency.

Our safety management systems support the entire product lifecycle, from initial concept through to disposal. These systems integrate advanced methodologies and are designed to minimise risk, streamline compliance, and safeguard end-users. By empowering our team with well-defined roles and responsibilities, we cultivate a safety-focused culture that drives continuous improvement and exceptional outcomes.

Safety Management Expertise

Portsmouth Aviation’s safety management framework is built on a foundation of rigorous auditing and regulatory oversight. It underpins the design of all our new products and can be customised to suit client needs, whether through bespoke system development or targeted process assistance.

Our team’s expertise is regularly assessed and updated, ensuring that we deliver unparalleled service.

Key Capabilities Include:

Planning

Our meticulous safety management planning incorporates a thorough review of relevant legislation, standards, and regulations. This results in a detailed safety activity plan that lays the groundwork for product development and production. Our long-standing relationships with specialist safety organisations further enhance this process, providing access to essential certifications and approvals.

Hazard and Risk Management

From initial hazard identification to residual risk assessment, our approach is systematic and precise. We document and address risks through proven techniques, ensuring hazards are mitigated to levels that are both tolerable and as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). These activities are delivered in a variety of formats, tailored to customer requirements, and supported by tools such as Adelard Goal Structuring Notation (GSN) and DesignSafe9.

Data Management

Safety-related data collection and analysis are critical for maintaining an audit trail. Our expertise includes compliance matrix development, hazardous material (HAZMAT) documentation, and preparation of product safety data sheets aligned with EU CLP and Explosive Hazard Data Sheet (EHDS) standards.

Reports and Validation

Portsmouth Aviation has a proven track record in constructing Safety Cases, Safety Assessments, and Certificates of Conformity. These outputs provide evidence that adequate safety requirements have been met, hazards mitigated, and regulatory standards achieved. We also manage documentation control and certification processes, ensuring compliance with EU CE, UKCA, and other harmonised standards.
