SSP and SMS - what’s the difference?: State Safety Programme training

In general, Transport Canada oversees safety performance and targets areas of greater concern. However, SSP is not about making more regulations, the goal of SSP is to bring benefits to industry.

SMS is a part of the State Safety Programme.

This is why civil aviation authorities and industry partners work together to establish this new programme.
