Study Notes
Purpose of SMS
- Provides a systematic approach to managing safety for service providers
Integrated Management Systems
- Incorporates multiple management systems for various aspects like quality, security, environment, occupational health, finance, documentation, and fatigue risk.
- Service providers can choose to integrate based on their needs.
- Senior management commitment is crucial for effective integration.
SMS and QMS Integration
- Both focus on planning, managing, identifying ineffective processes, continuous improvement, and safe and reliable products/services.
- SMS focus: Safety-related hazards, safety risk assessment, effective safety risk controls, safety performance measurement, resource allocation for safety.
- QMS focus: Compliance with regulations, consistency in product/service delivery, meeting performance standards, “fit for purpose” products/services.
Safety Reporting System
- Voluntary safety reporting helps identify potential safety issues like hazards, near misses, and errors.
- Confidential system protects reporters' identities.
- Provides information to the State and service provider.
- Identified hazards and their consequences should be documented for risk assessment.
Accident and Incident Investigations
- States must establish and maintain an accident/incident database for analyzing safety deficiencies and determining preventive actions.
- Final accident/incident reports provide valuable information for preventive actions.
Mandatory Safety Reporting System
- States require a mandatory system for reporting incidents.
Safety Data and Information Management
- Involves developing and managing plans, policies, programs, and practices to ensure the integrity, availability, usability, and protection of safety data and information.
- Addresses collection, storage, analysis, retention, archiving, governance, protection, and sharing of safety data and information.
Safety Analysis
- Uses statistical and analytical techniques to analyze safety data and information for discovering useful information, drawing conclusions, and making data-driven decisions.
- Exploiting broader data sources like weather, terrain, traffic, and demographics provides a comprehensive picture for safety decision-making.
Types of Analysis
- Compares information to control or comparison groups to draw conclusions.
- Data sources include:
- Accident/incident reports
- Audit/inspection/survey reports
- Voluntary hazard/incident reports
- Operational data monitoring systems
- Human factors (e.g. fatigue, training, experience)
- Environmental factors (e.g. weather, noise, vibration, temperature, lighting)
- Regulatory oversight factors (e.g. applicability and enforceability of regulations, equipment/personnel/procedure certification)
- Performance monitoring systems (e.g. detecting practical drift, operational deviations, product reliability deterioration)
- Human-machine interface factors
- SSP/SMS interfaces with other organizations
- Occupational safety, health, and environmental hazards
Compound Hazards
- Hazards that impact aviation safety, occupational safety, health, and environment can be managed through separate or integrated risk mitigation processes.
Hazard Identification Methodologies
- Reactive: Analysis of past outcomes or events.
- Proactive: Existing or real-time operational situations.
Hazards related to SMS Interfaces with External Organizations
- Organizations should identify hazards related to their safety management interfaces.
- Joint exercises with interfacing organizations are recommended.
- Considerations: operational environment, organizational capabilities (people, processes, technologies).
Safety Risk Probability
- Likelihood of a safety consequence occurring.
- Questions to ask:
- Is there a history of similar occurrences?
- What other equipment/components might have similar issues?
- How many personnel are subject to the procedures in question?
- What is the exposure of the hazard?
Safety Risk Severity
- Extent of harm that might reasonably be expected to occur as a consequence or outcome of the identified hazard.
- Classifications based on fatalities, serious injuries, and damage.
Safety Risk Tolerability
- Determines the acceptability of the assessed safety risk.
- Combines safety risk probability and severity to create a safety risk index.
- Safety risk assessment matrix helps define safety risk tolerability.
