transport safety

SELF-ASSESSMENT RISK AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

This Self-Assessment approach was especially developed for the tourism sector (in the forefront tour operators) and is based on the Excellence Modell from the European Foundation for Quality Management EFQM (https://www.efqm.org/). The approach allows to recognise the desired risk and safety management system, gather evidence about the present system, and increase understanding on actions that are applicable to close the gap between the two. The main aim and output of the self-assessment is the development of an Action and Monitoring Plan to solve exposed gaps and improve the risk and safety management system and practices.
