COMPONENT 1.0 SAFETY POLICY AND OBJECTIVES.

Performance Objectives -The organization will develop and implement an   integrated, comprehensive SMS for its entire organization and will incorporate a procedure to identify and maintain compliance with current safety-related legal, regulatory, and statutory requirements. 
General Design Expectations. 
        (1) Safety management will be included in the complete scope and life cycle of the 
 organization’s systems including: 
                    (a) For air operators: 
                         1. Flight operations, 
                         2. Operational control (dispatch/flight following), 
                         3. Maintenance and inspection, 
                         4. Cabin safety, 
                         5. Ground handling and servicing, 
                         6. Cargo handling, and 
                         7. Training. 
                    (b) For separate aviation maintenance organizations: 
                         1. Parts/materials, 
                         2. Resource management (tools and equipment, personnel, and facilities), 
                         3. Technical data, 
                         4. Maintenance and inspection, 
                         5. Quality control, 
                         6. Records management, 
                         7. Contract maintenance, and 
                         8. Training. 

    (2) SMS processes will be: 
                    (a) Documented, 
                    (b) Monitored, 
                    (c) Measured, and 
                    (d) Analyzed. 
    (3) SMS outputs will be: 
                    (a) Recorded, 
                    (b) Monitored, 
                    (c) Measured, and 
                    (d) Analyzed. 
   (4) It is expected that: 
                    (a) The organization will promote the growth of a positive safety culture; 
                    (b) If the organization has a quality policy, top management will ensure that the  quality  policy is consistent with the SMS; Measures are not expected for each               procedural step. 
                  However, measures and criteria should be of sufficient depth and level of detail to ascertain and track accomplishment of objectives. Criteria and measures can be
expressed in either quantitative or qualitative terms. 
                    (c) The SMS will include a means to comply with  policy, legal, regulatory and statutory requirements applicable to the SMS; 
                    (d) The organization will establish and maintain a procedure to identify current  policy,  legal,regulatory and statutory requirements applicable to the SMS; 
                    (e) The organization will establish and maintain procedures with measurable criteria to accomplish the objectives of the safety policy; 
                    (f) The organization will establish and maintain supervisory and operational controls to ensure procedures are followed for safety-related operations and activities; and 
                    (g) The organization will establish and maintain a safety management plan to describe how it will achieve its safety objectives.

SHEL(L) Model

Image
   “SHEL” model  : The component blocks of the SHEL model : Software, Hardware, Environment, Liveware). The  interpretations are: liveware (human), hardware (machine), software (procedures, symbology, etc.) and environment.                                   Liveware (the human)  is at the centre of the model. Human is generally considered  the most critical as well as the most flexible component in the system. Yet people are subject to considerable variations in performance and suffer many limitations, most of which are now predictable in general terms. The edges of this block are jagged, and so the other components of the system must be carefully matched with them if stress in the system and eventual breakdown are to be avoided.  Physical size and shape. In the design of workplace and equipment, a vital consideration involves body measurements and movements, which may vary according to factors such as age, ethnicity and gender. Human Factors inputs must be provided at an early sta

National Aerospace Standard (NAS) 411

                          This National Aerospace Standard (NAS) 411 was created by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) as an industry standard to manage hazardous material (HAZMAT) used in Products and Services. As appropriate, NAS411 requirements can be applied to all Products and Services lifecycle phases, e.g. Materiel Solution Analysis, Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction, Engineering and Manufacturing Development, Production and Deployment, Operations and Support, and Disposal.                      The Hazardous Materials Management Program (HMMP) is the process to ensure appropriate consideration is given to the systematic identification, evaluation, elimination or minimization of HAZMAT risks to human health or the environment (including risks of violating related and applicable regulatory requirements), and to identify measures to appropriately control such risks that are not eliminated. Unless otherwise noted, the process includes risks attributed to produc

Safety Culture

Image
                          Culture is characterized by the beliefs, values, biases and their resultant behaviour that are shared among members of a society, group or organization. An understanding of these cultural components, and the interactions among them, is important to safety management. Among the most influential cultural components are organizational, professional, and national. A reporting culture is key component of these different cultures. The mix of cultural components may vary greatly among organizations and can negatively influence effective hazard reporting, collaborative root cause analysis, and acceptable risk mitigation. Continous improvement in safety performance is possible when safety becomes a value within an organization as well as a priority at the national or professional level .                         Safety Culture encompasses the commonly held perceptions and beliefs of an organization‘s members pertaining to the public‘s safety and can be a determin
