ELEMENT 1.3 KEY SAFETY PERSONNEL.

Performance Objective. The organization will appoint a management representative to manage, monitor, and coordinate the SMS processes.
Design Expectations. Top management will appoint a member of management who, irrespective of other responsibilities, will have responsibilities and authority that includes:
  1. Ensuring that processes needed for the SMS are established, implemented, and maintained;
  2. Report to top management on the performance of the SMS and the need                                        for improvement; 
  3. Ensure the promotion of awareness of safety expectations throughout the                                        organization.


                Top management support is a crucial factor in any successful aviation safety management program. When safety managers don't have top management support, they won't get the resources they need to get the job. 
                 Furthermore, if top management is only singing the words without meaning, then the employees will spot this quickly and realize that safety is not as important as it should be. There are hundreds of executive leaders who mean well, but true commitment to safety can take more than 5 minutes per month. 
               Safety Manager may need to write a newsletter, speak at safety meetings or engage in another meaningful and visible safety promotion activity

    The information that you have shared is really useful for everyone. If someone wants to know about EHS Software and Occupational Safety Softwares I think this is the right place for you.

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
