Contents • SSP – The bridge • SSP and SMS components • State responsibilities – General concepts • ICAO SSP framework • Questions

SSP SMS SSP development • SSP development is based upon basic safety management principles (SRM and SA) • SSP is the bridge that closes the gap between the internal and external safety processes of a State and the internal safety processes of service providers State Service providers

SSP and SMS components SSP components SMS components • State safety policy and objectives • State safety risk management • State safety assurance • State safety promotion • Safety policy and objectives • Safety risk management • Safety assurance • Safety promotion

State responsibilities on safety policy and objectives • The SSP can only be effectively implemented as part of an overall framework of accountabilities and responsibilities within the State • The SSP must include • explicit policies • procedures • management controls • documentation • corrective action processes to keep the State safety management efforts on track

State responsibilities on safety risk management • Rulemaking and policy development based on hazard identification and analysis of the safety risks of the consequences of hazards • Regulations become safety risk controls when adopted by service providers’ SMS

State responsibilities on safety assurance • Effective and efficient implementation of SSP oversight activities supported by hazard identification and safety risk analyses • Effective and efficient implementation of oversight activities of service providers based on the assessment of safety performance of service providers’ SMS • Priorities regarding resource allocation are based upon the severity of the safety risks of the hazards identified • Compliance monitoring is based on conventional auditing

State responsibilities on safety promotion • State must provide its staff • Competence and technical knowledge • Additional knowledge regarding hazard identification and safety risk analysis • State must communicate its SSP internally and externally
