Title: SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM requirements for Aerodromes
1SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM requirements for
Aerodromes
- An expansion on ICAO Annex 14 requirements with
reference to GASR - WP 013, WP 020, WP 039 and WP 046
2 Safety Objective
- An Aerodrome organisation with its facilities,
equipment and systems shall be designed and
operated so that for any hazard the combination
of the probability of occurrence and the
seriousness of the consequences of the hazard
occurring, must not result in a level of risk
that is unacceptable.
3Safety Management Policy Statements
a) A statement that the highest priority shall
be attached to safety in relation to all
business activities b) A business objective
for safety that shall minimise the Aerodromes
contribution to Aviation accident risk to as
low as reasonably practicable. c) A commitment
by the organisation to adopt an explicit,
pro-active approach to safety management
4- Statements of safety-related responsibilities
throughout the organisation - Compliance with all appropriate safety standards
- That the safety assurance processes used by its
external suppliers comply with the Aerodromes
safety management standards and requirements
5 TARGET LEVEL of SAFETY
- The theoretically and practically accepted TLS
has been derived to the quantitative measure of
10-7 per aircraft movement for a catastrophe
6Operational Safety Assurance Documentation
- Aerodrome organisation shall produce and maintain
safety assurance documentation. - All safety related roles and functions
- A safety based risk assessment of the roles and
functions where practicable - For those safety related tasks and functions,
that a process of risk management is established
to ensure that identified risks remain tolerable - Safety Performance measurement of the current
operations as part of the ongoing risk management - Corrective procedures and measures that modify
the original task or function to address
inadequate performance.
7Safety Assurance Documentation on systems
requiring approval
- An Aerodrome organisation shall, when the
intention is to introduce new systems into
operation, or introduce changes to, or replace
existing systems, submit an application for
approval by the National Aviation Safety
Authority. - The Aerodrome management shall show compliance
with the safety requirements for any operational
system. This can only take place after the
Aerodrome licensee is satisfied that their own
safety requirements, as well as those issued by
the National Aviation Safety Authority, are met.
