5. ICAO safety management SARPs – The big picture
Two audience groups
States
Service providers
Three distinct requirements
State safety programme (SSP)
Acceptable level of safety (ALoS)
Safety management System (SMS)
Safety performance of the SMS
Management accountability

6. Basic safety management SARPs – Part I
States shall establish a State safety programme (SSP), in order to achieve an acceptable level of safety (ALoS) in civil aviation

7. What is an SSP?
An integrated set of regulations and activities aimed at improving safety
An SSP is a management system for the management of safety by the State

8. SSP in context
The implementation of an SSP must be commensurate with the size and complexity of the State’s aviation system

9. SSP in context
The implementation of an SSP may require coordination among multiples authorities responsible for individual element functions in the State

10. Basic safety management SARPs – Part I
The acceptable level of safety (ALoS) to be achieved shall be established by the State

11. Basic safety management SARPs – Part II
States shall require, as part of their State safety programme (SSP), that a [service provider] implement a safety management system (SMS) acceptable to the State that, as a minimum:
identifies safety hazards;
ensures the implementation of remedial action necessary to maintain agreed safety performance
provides for continuous monitoring and regular assessment of the safety performance; and
aims at a continuous improvement of the overall performance of the safety management system

12. Service providers
The following service providers are required to implement ICAO SARPs on SMS:
Approved training organizations that are exposed to safety risks during the provision of their services
Aircraft operators
Approved maintenance
organizations
Organizations responsible for
design and/or manufacture of
aircraft
Air traffic services providers
Certified aerodromes

13. What is an SMS?
A systematic approach to managing safety, including the necessary organizational structures, accountabilities, policies and procedures
Service providers are responsible for establishing an SMS
States are responsible, under the SSP, for the acceptance and oversight of service providers’ SMS

14. Basic safety management SARPs – Part III
A safety management system (SMS) shall clearly define lines of safety accountability throughout a service provider organization, including a direct accountability for safety on the part of senior management
(Accountability –
Obligation or
willingness
to account for
one’s actions)

15. State safety responsibilities and accountabilities
The State should identify and clearly define the safety requirements, responsibilities and accountabilities regarding the establishment and maintenance of the SSP

16. State safety responsibilities and accountabilities
Safety responsibilities within an SSP are functions and duties which describe the safety purpose of what an individual is required to do, with regard to the operation of the SSP
Safety accountabilities within an SSP are statements of what an individual is required to deliver, either directly or through supervision and management of others, including those to whom the individual has delegated responsibility, with regard to the operation of the SSP

17. Basic safety management SARPs in summary
State
Service provider
States shall establish a State safety programme (SSP), in order to achieve an acceptable level of safety (ALoS) in civil aviation.
The acceptable level of safety (ALoS) to be achieved shall be established by the State.
States shall require, as part of their State safety programme (SSP), that a [service provider] implements a safety management system (SMS) acceptable to the State that, as a minimum:
identifies safety hazards;
ensures the implementation of remedial action necessary to maintain agreed safety performance.
provides for continuing monitoring and regular assessment of the safety performance; and
aims at a continuous improvement of the overall performance of the SMS.

20. State’s safety oversight
Safety oversight is defined as a function by which States ensure effective implementation of the safety related SARPs and associated procedures
The implementation of an effective safety oversight system is based upon the eight critical elements for safety oversight (CE)

21. Critical Elements

22. State’s safety oversight
The objectives of a State’s safety oversight are satisfied through administrative controls (inspections, audits and surveys) carried out regularly by the State (CAA)

23. State’s safety oversight
States generally have a system of regulations, but do not require a safety risk analysis as pre-requisite for regulatory development
States may not monitor the effectiveness of regulations as safety risk controls
A State’s safety oversight system may not include safety risk controls

24. State’s safety oversight
Regulation development under an SSP observes safety risk management principles, as follows
Hazard identification
Safety risk analysis
Mitigation of hazard’s consequences
Measurement of mitigation effectiveness and efficiency
The SSP ensures safety risk controls are established
