Our Safety Management Specialist - Austin Healey

Previously employed as a Safety Management Systems Specialist with CAANZ, including international representation with the Safety Management International Collaboration Group (SM ICG), I’ve been involved with all aspects of SMS implementation, including rule development, provision of guidance material, internal training and assessment, industry education and outreach, and certification of organisations.

As a practitioner within the civil aviation system, I’ve held safety and quality manager roles within airline and maintenance organisations, was a line maintenance controller with a European regional airline and had hands on experience as a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer. I’ve also served as a helicopter technician and Non-Commissioned Officer within the military for ten years.
