IOSA - IATA Operational Safety Audit
SH&E is a formally accredited Audit Organization (AO) by IATA for their Operational Safety Audit (IOSA). The IOSA Program is an internationally recognized and accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control system of an airline. IOSA uses internationally recognized quality principles, and is designed so that audits are conducted in a consistent and standardized manner.

IOSA Program Background

The airline industry is subject to an ever-increasing proliferation of inspections, reviews and audits that often overlap both in intent and content. Over the past several years the number of airline operational audits conducted has been increasing significantly, with many airlines subject to multiple audits and a wide variability of standards often producing uneven results. It has become evident to industry professionals that a considerable opportunity exists to standardize, harmonize and rationalize the audit process. From this background,
IATA took the lead to develop IOSA.


Program Goal

To provide a standardized audit program based on internationally recognized standards and a structured system for the sharing of audits in order to help improve operations and reduce the number of
audits in the industry.


Industry Benefits

With the implementation and international acceptance of IOSA, airlines and regulators will achieve the following benefits:

• A reduction in costs and audit resource requirements for airlines and regulators;

• Elimination of audit redundancy through mutual acceptance of audit reports;

• Continuous updating of standards to reflect regulatory revisions and the evolution of best practices within the industry;

• A structured audit methodology, including standardized checklists

• Accredited audit organizations with formally trained and qualified auditors;

• Development of auditor training courses for the airline industry
