1. SMARRT™ is unique in significantly strengthening the identification of training and safety culture development needs by providing innovative evaluation dimensions that rapidly construct independent and impartial quantitative measures of the value and effectiveness of organisations Safety Management Systems.

2. The Baines Simmons SMARRT™ tool set is a mix of diagnostic tools that selectively examines actions, performance and events in safety culture and evaluates organisational safety culture. SMARRT provides a method of clearly identifying, evaluating, benchmarking and communicating strategic and operational perspectives of safety management to senior managers.

3. SMARRT™ highlights the area of highest risk exposure and in doing so it can prioritise and propose safety initiatives (from often limited resources) to the right issues for a focussed and strategically driven safety improvement implementation plan.

4. It is a rapid analysis and interpretation tool that connects information and perspectives in the flight deck, on the shop floor, offices, hangar and flight line with understandings and decision making in the board room.

5. It gathers qualitative statements and turns them into quantitative measures providing operational and strategic perspectives.

6. The uniqueness and special value of the tool set is that it is able to rapidly decode often vague thoughts and ‘gut feelings’ about safety culture and turn them into an identifiable and quantitative reporting medium to facilitate rational discussion and evaluation at board room and strategic management levels of an organisation.

7. Significantly, it offers an organisation for the first time an opportunity to benchmark its safety management capability against minimum standards, best practice and that of other comparable players within its industry sector.
