The Naples Airport Authority (NAA) is committed to providing a safe, modern, and efficient airport for all of our employees, tenants, customers and general community. This tenet is the basis of NAA’s goal of achieving operational excellence.

Each NAA team member, including myself, is accountable for fostering a proactive and just safety culture, promoting our safety management system (SMS) and mitigating risks to a level as low as reasonably practicable.

At NAA, we strive to continually improve our SMS by establishing safety goals and objectives. Performance targets for these objectives are focused on proactive safety initiatives, regulatory compliance and the reduction of error and incident rates. Safety goals and objectives are reviewed annually to measure the effectiveness of the SMS.

All levels of management are responsible for conducting safety risk management (SRM), monitoring the effectiveness of risk controls, promoting safety within their department, and advising the accountable executive on SMS performance.

Each NAA team member is responsible for reporting safety hazards or issues. The airport has established a safety hazard reporting system that allows for the confidential reporting of identified hazards and near-miss events. There is no retribution or disciplinary action for individuals who participate. This “no retribution” policy does not apply to events as the result of illegal acts, intentional violations of regulations, policies, or procedures, or that are related to the use of illicit
drugs and alcohol.

NAA maintains the Airport Emergency Plan (AEP). This plan is reviewed annually and is exercised periodically in concert with our community emergency management partners to facilitate a safe transition from normal to emergency conditions.

We care deeply about your safety and well-being. As the accountable executive, I am committed to providing the necessary resources to ensure the success of NAA’s safety management system.
