Safety Management System The purpose of a safety management system is to provide a systematic way to control risk and to provide assurance that those risk controls are effective Introduction to Safety Management Systems April 18 & 19, 2007
AC 120-92 A NPRM requiring SMS is expected in 2008
AC 120-92 SMS and business considerations are compatible not competitive
AC 120-92 SMS concentrates on process
ICAO Annex 6 Requirements • “…a safety management system acceptable to the State of the Operator that, as a minimum: • identifies safety hazards; • ensures that remedial action necessary to maintain an acceptable level of safety is implemented; and • provides for continuous monitoring and regular assessment of the safety level achieved.” • …and, aims to make continuous improvement to the overall level of safety (proposed amendment)
Annex 6 requirements (cont.) • “An accepted safety management system shall clearly define lines of safetyaccountability throughout the operator’s organization, including a direct accountability for safety on the part of senior management.”
IATA (7) External Audits. External audits of the SMS may be conducted by the regulator (FAA), code-share partners, customer organizations, or other third parties selected by the operator. These audits not only provide a strong interface with the oversight system (SMS-O) but also a secondary assurance system. Organizations may elect to have third-party audits of their SMS from organizations such as the IATA or other consultant organizations. AC 120-92
Auditing • Internal • Interdepartmental • Regular Interval • Vendor • Are they maintaining North American Airlines standards? • External • DOD • IOSA • ATOS • SOS
IOSA • ORG - Organization • FLT - Flight • DSP - Dispatch • CAB - Cabin • MNT - Maintenance • SEC - Security • GRH - Ground Handling • CGO - Cargo
Auditing Helps Maintain Standards • Good audits can help maintain good standards • Good standards help maintain good safety
Safety Culture • Top management shall promote the growth of a positive safety culture through: • 1) publication of senior management’s stated commitment to safety to all employees; • 2) visible demonstration of their commitment to the SMS; • 3) communication of the safety responsibilities for the organization’s personnel; • 4) clear and regular communication of safety policy, goals, objectives, standards, and performance to all employees of the organization • 5) an effective employee safety feedback system that provides confidentiality as is necessary; • 6) use of a safety information system that provides an accessible efficient means to retrieve information; and • 7) allocation of resources essential to implement and maintain the SMS.

Likelihood vs. Severity How likely is the risk to occur? How severe is the risk?
Likelihood vs. Severity Not likely but severe
Document and Implement • Documented and implemented • Written and accomplished • Documented not implemented • Written but not accomplished • Implemented not documented • Accomplished but not written
Advantages to SMS and TRAINING • A better running operation • A safer operation • A more efficient operation • A more adaptive operation • An operation more focused on the future than the past
Change In FAA Oversight • More internal checking/auditing required • Canadian model • Commitment to SMS by last and acting Administrators • EASA
Summary • Safety expectations are rising • The industry has a very good safety record, however, it must get better • Safety programs must make business sense • Risk vs. reward • Severity vs. likelihood
Summary • Risks must be managed • Managing risks is difficult • Balance mitigations • Effectiveness • Cost
Summary • Losses are much more expensive than the direct cost
Good Emergency Response Plans are essential SMS is a very good proactive program to reduce risks Audits of Training are good proactive methods to increase Safety and efficiency. Summary
