Title: Safety Management System SMS at Airports : Principles


1
Safety Management System (SMS)at Airports
Principles
APEC TPT-WG AEG-SAF
Jim White, Deputy Director Airport Safety and
Standards

2
Safety Management System (SMS)Principles
  • ICAO required certificated airports to have in
    operation an SMS by November 24, 2005
  • defined safety policy
  • Visible safety architecture
  • Scheduled self-inspections
  • Dissemination of safety information.

3
FAA Implementation of Airport SMS
  • AC 5200-37 SMS for Airport Operators issued
    2/28/07
  • Airport SMS Pilot projects at 20 airports in FY
    07.
  • Pilot airports conduct SMS gap analysis and
    develop airport specific SMS manual
  • SMS pilot Complete in June 2008
  • Published Airport Cooperative Research Program
    report Safety Management Systems for Airports
  • Have initiated rulemaking project
  • Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) tentative
    schedule December 2009

AC 5200-37 Airport SMS
  • FAA plans to implement SMS at airports to meet
    intent of ICAO standard in a way that complements
    existing Part 139.
  • Contract cost for development of initial SMS at
    airports are eligible for AIP planning grants.
  • SMS requires system approach to development of
    safety policies, procedures, and practices.
  • SMS is a proactive, systematic, and integrated
    method of managing safety for airport operators.
  • Essential for SMS is formal safety risk
    management procedures that provide risk analysis
    and assessment.

5
SMS Safety Policy
  • Commitment of senior management to implement SMS
  • Commitment to continual safety improvement
  • Encourage employees to report safety issues
    without reprisal
  • Commitment to provide necessary safety resources
  • Commitment to make safety the highest priority

6
SMS Safety Objectives
  • Written guidance regarding safety authorities and
    responsibilities of all airport key personnel.
  • Identification of someone responsible for SMS
    (Safety Manager) who reports to highest level of
    management.
  • Responsibilities of Safety Manager are clearly
    defined.
  • Depending on airport size may be useful to form
    safety committee.

7
SMS Safety Risk Management
  • Process to identify hazards, determine risk,
    design mitigation strategies, and apply and track
    strategies.
  • Do not need to do a risk analysis for complying
    with FAA airport design standards.
  • Consider matrix of severity of risk vs, frequency
  • Hazard identification considers all possible
    sources of system failure. Equipment (ex
    construction equip on movement surface
  • Operating environment (ex night, low visibility,
    cold, snow)
  • Human element (ex shift work, training)
  • Operational procedures (ex temporary changes due
    to construction)
  • Maintenance procedures
  • External services (ex ramp traffic, FBOs, law
    enforcement vehicles)

8
Safety Risk Management
  • Describe the system
  • Identify hazards
  • Analyze the risk
  • Assess the risk
  • Treat the risk (mitigate, monitor, and track)

9
SMS Levels of Risk
  • High - Catastrophic hazards Unacceptable
    level of risk Proposal cannot be implemented or
    activity continued without mitigation.
  • Medium Risk Minimal acceptable level Proposal
    may be implemented or activity can continue, but
    tracking and management are required.
  • Low Risk Target level of risk Acceptable
    without restriction or limitation. Hazards not
    required to be managed but are documented.

10
SMS Safety Assurance
  • Identify safety performance and targets
  • Monitor adherence to safety policy through
    self-auditing
  • Solicit input through non-punitive safety
    reporting
  • Systematically review all available info from
    daily self inspections, assessment reports,
    safety risk analysis, safety audits
  • Communicate to staff
  • Promote safety systems approach into overall
    operation of airport

11
SMS Safety Promotion
  • Training and education
  • Documented process to identify training
    requirements
  • Validation process to measure effectiveness of
    training
  • Initial job specific training
  • Recurrent training
  • Safety Communications
  • Safety seminars
  • Safety letters, bulletins
  • Safety lessons learned
  • Safety competency and continuous improvement

12
FAA Development of SMS NPRM
  • FAA will consider many issues in NPRM
  • Benefits and cost of rule
  • Tailor rule to impose minimum burden and costs
    for effective implementation
  • Consider how SMS elements would apply to airports
    of different sizes and resources
  • Acknowledge existing Part 139 and avoid
    duplication of safety programs
  • Consider degree of FAA oversight of individual
    SMS plans by airport certification safety
    inspectors
  • If SMS rule adopted, FAA will issue additional
    guidance for implementation
