Information requested following SMS implementation presentation

Information requested following SMS implementation presentation

Discussion at the last COSCAP-NA meeting lead to requests for the following additional details: 10.3 information on methods used for determining acceptable levels of safety; 10.4 guidance material for manufacturers to support implementation of SMS; and 10.5 checklists used to support oversight on ATM service providers. 2 RDIMS/SGDDI

10.3 Information on methods used for determining acceptable levels of safety

• Safety is not an absolute condition • There will always be risks • Need to manage risks to an acceptable level to prevent accidents

3 RDIMS/SGDDI

10.3 Information on methods used for determining acceptable levels of safety; Example: regulatory reference for Level of Service applies to ANS - Canadian Civil Aviation Regulation 806.02(1) requires ANS service provider to notify the Minister of intent to terminate or reduce a level of service.

Minster then has the right to require the ANS service provider to complete an Aeronautical Study before any proposals are implemented 4 RDIMS/SGDDI

10.3 Information on methods used for determining acceptable levels of safety; Aeronautical Study Voluntary process follows Canadian Standards Association CAN/CSA – Q850 “Risk Management: Guideline for Decision Makers.” Fundamental principles are: - Consultation with Stakeholders - Identification of Risk and proposed Mitigation - Documentation Pending approval by the Department of Justice, Part VIII of the CARs will be amended to clarify this as a regulatory requirement 5 RDIMS/SGDDI

10.3 Information on methods used for determining acceptable levels of safety;

NAV CANADA’s Safety Management System Safety Philosophy

accidents are organizationally based and as such SMS must integrate technical and operational systems with financial and human resource management

Safety Objective

to reduce safety risks resulting from the provision by NAV CANADA of air navigation services and products to a level as low as reasonably achievable

Safety Policy Level Safety Priority Safety Responsibility

safety is afforded the highest priority over commercial, operational, environmental or social pressures everyone has a responsibility to contribute to the achievement of the safety goal

Safety Management

proactive, systematic, explicit and coordinated management of safety risks

Safety Planning Operational Risk Management Exchange of Safety Information Safety Performance Measurement Safety Management Assurance
