1. 1 ICAO Developments in Safety Management Captain Len Cormier CTA COSCAP-NA

2. 2 Objectives Basic concepts related to Safety management systems; Harmonization of ICAO Safety provisions through the consolidation of requirements related to Safety management systems contained in Annexes 11, 14 and introducing the concept in Annex 6; and New ICAO Safety Management manual (SMM)

3. 3 What is Safety Safety can be defined as a condition in which the risk of harm or damage is limited to an acceptable level Risk is inherent in all human activity The best we can do is manage it

4. 4 Risk The probable rate of occurrence of a hazard causing harm and the degree of severity of the harm Risk = severity * probability As low as reasonable probable (ALARP)

5. 5 Safety Management System Safety management system provides organizations with: the capacity to anticipate and address safety issues before they lead to an incident or accident the ability to deal effectively with accidents and incidents so that valuable lessons are applied to improve safety and efficiency reduces costs through the proactive management of risks

6. 6 Safety Management Systems Management approach to human and organizational risks Should be applied throughout the entire organization, including non- regulated areas

7. 7 Cautionary Notes A Safety Management System in it self does not eliminate all risks… It is a management tool which ensures a systematic and pro-active approach to safety throughout the whole organization

8. 8 New harmonized provisions (Provider) States shall require that the (operator/maintenance organization/air traffic services provider/certified aerodrome operator) implement a safety management system approved by the (State/State of the operator) that, inter alia: identifies safety hazards provides for continuous monitoring and regular assessment of the level of safety achieved. ensures that remedial action necessary to maintain an acceptable level of safety is implemented; and

9. 9 New harmonized provisions (Provider) An approved safety management system shall clearly define lines of safety accountability throughout the (operator/maintenance organization/air traffic services provider/certified aerodrome operator), including a direct accountability for safety on the part of senior management

10. 10 ICAO Safety Management Manual (SMM) 1984ICAO Accident Prevention Manual (APM) 2004Draft SMS manual for ATM Draft SMS manual for Aerodromes Revised APM (second edition) 2005New ICAO Safety Management Manual

11. 11 Why an ICAO Safety Management Manual Pressure on ICAO to publish appropriate guidance (Annexes 6, 11, 13, 14) Three large draft manuals produced around same time. ICAO would have trouble producing the three manuals in a timely fashion. All three dealt with SAFETY, albeit from different perspectives. Combine into one manual (SMM)

12. 12 The Safety Management Manual - Concept No right (or single) way to address safety No one size that fits all. (State, Operator, Individual) Manual will take a more generic approach Make available on website;
