DEMOGRAPHIC IMPERATIVES

 Aging Workforce
 Shortage of Resources
     Shortage of qualified technical personnel in
      all fields
     about 23% of all the contracting States
      audited did not have sufficient financial
      resources available to the CAA
   Increase in Traffic and Number of
    Operators

          SMS Benefits

 Air Transat has a 72% decrease in irregular
  operating costs (over $1m per month saved)
 Improved employee morale at Air Transat
 Benefits in reduced incidents and increased
  awareness of operation
 Applies equally to other sectors of industry

        What is SMS?

 Management approach to human and
  organizational risks management
 Should be applied throughout the entire
  organization, including non-regulated
  areas
 Proven to reduce costs through the
  proactive management of risks


              International Civil Aviation Organization   8
 The Components of SMS

 Safety Management Plan
 Documentation
 Training
 Safety Oversight: Reactive/Proactive
 Quality Assurance
 Emergency Response Preparedness




             International Civil Aviation Organization   9
     Expected Results

 Reduce the accident rate
 Reduce industry operating costs

TRANSFORMATION TO SMS
          Past/Current                                            New
Prescriptive regulations                             Performance-based
                                                         regulations
Highly specialized and                               Focus on areas of greatest risk
    technically trained staff
                                                     System auditors and analysts
Significant resource
    requirements                                     More efficient use of resources
                                                        to manage growth areas.
Industry responds to regulatory
requirements                                         Industry becomes partner in
                                                         safety

        ICAO SMS Project
Objectives
   Development and implementation of a
    framework for a uniform and system-wide
    approach to safety
   Harmonization of provisions and
    approaches to safety management
    programmes and systems



                International Civil Aviation Organization   12
      ICAO SMS Project
Two basic concepts
 Safety programme – An overarching and
  integrated set of provisions
 Safety management system – A means for the
  implementation of a safety programme
Two levels of responsibility for
  implementation
 State
 Operator (Airline, ATS provider, aerodrome
  operator)
