Contents v SSP safety promotion v SSP training programme - Objective and rationale v Training documentation v Safety communication v Questions and answers v Points to remember

ICAO SSP framework 1. State’s safety policy and objectives 1. 1 State safety legislative framework 1. 2 Safety responsibilities and accountabilities 1. 3 Accident and incident investigation 1. 4 Enforcement policy 2. State’s safety risk management 2. 1 Safety requirements for service providers SMS 2. 2 Agreement on service providers safety performance 3. State’s safety assurance 3. 1 Safety oversight 3. 2 Safety data collection, analysis and exchange 3. 3 Safety data driven targeting of oversight on areas of greater concern or need 4. State’s safety promotion 4. 1 Internal training, communication and dissemination of safety information 4. 2 External training, communication and dissemination of safety

SSP safety promotion v 4. 1 Internal training, communication and dissemination of safety information ØThe State aviation organization that has been designated as placeholder for the SSP shall develop and maintain a safety training programme that ensures that personnel are trained and competent to perform the SSP duties

Internal training programme v The scope of the internal safety training shall be appropriate to each individual’s involvement in the SSP v The training programme should develop staff knowledge about Ø ICAO SARPs related to the SSP and SMS Ø the ICAO SSP framework, its components and elements Ørelated guidance material Ø…

Internal training programme v. . . The training programme should develop staff knowledge about Økey elements of an SSP ØState’s SSP policies, responsibilities and accountabilities, processes and procedures Øacceptable levels of safety (ALo. S) Øsafety assurance processes Øan SSP implementation plan

Rationale for the SSP training programme v Safety training development should include Øa documented process to identify training requirements and training provided Ømeans to assess the effectiveness of training

SSP training programme – Categories v The State must ensure that all personnel are provided with safety information appropriate to their identified needs, to the extent of their safety functions and responsibilities. v Safety training should be delivered by persons with Ø appropriate knowledge Ø skills, and

SSP training programme – Categories v The State must base and develop its SSP training programme around the four components of the ICAO SSP framework v There should be three categories of training ØA – Indoctrination/initial safety training ØB – On the job (OJT) safety training ØC – Recurrent safety training

SSP training programme – Categories ABC Indoctrination/initi al safety training New staff are trained on On the job (OJT) the basics of SSP/SMS safety training Recurrent safety and their safety Safety training may training be in the form of responsibilities in on-the-job accordance with their training, delivered by. At least once a year a involvement in the SSP persons with one-day refresher safety programme appropriate training should be knowledge, skills provided to all and experience. appropriate staff

SSP levels of training v When developing the SSP training programme, the State should take into account the different levels of knowledge and awareness required for the functions and responsibilities of the different staff positions within the authority v The four levels of SSP training are 1. Generic safety training 2. Initial job-specific safety training 3. Advanced safety training 4. High level safety briefing

1 – Generic safety training All relevant State aviation authorities staff v To familiarize trainees with State safety policies, objectives and SSP/SMS fundamentals v To provide an overview of safety responsibilities, including safety procedures and hazards reporting v Hazards, consequences and risks v Safety risk management process, including roles and responsibilities v Safety reporting v Service providers’ safety reporting system(s)

2 – Initial job-specific safety training State aviation authorities technical staff v To familiarize trainees with safety concepts, hazard identification and risk management relevant to their respective roles, functions and responsibilities In addition to 1) v Hazard identification and risk management processes v Safety data collection and analysis Note. – Promotion or internal movements within the State aviation authorities may require additional safety training

3 – Advanced safety training State aviation authorities middle and senior managers v To familiarize trainees with safety responsibilities, including compliance with national and organizational safety requirements, allocation of resources, and effective inter-departmental safety communication and active promotion of the SSP In addition to 1) and 2) v. Safety roles and responsibilities v. Safety assurance and safety promotion v. Establishment of ALo. S and safety performance of SMS

4 – High level safety briefing SSP Accountable Executive v High level safety briefing should provide a special safety briefing on the SSP components and elements v Organization of the SSP v SSP roles and safety responsibilities v Safety policy and objectives v Safety risk management v Safety assurance v Safety promotion Note. – This training session should be reasonably brief (it should not exceed one-half day)

Training documentation v Training requirements and activities for each level within the State safety oversight authority should be documented v A training file should be developed for each staff member, including management staff, to assist in identifying and tracking staff safety training requirements and verifying compliance v SSP training programmes should be adapted to fit the needs and complexity of the State aviation activities

SSP safety promotion v 4. 2 External training, communication and dissemination of safety information ØThe State shall develop and maintain a formal means for safety communication that ensures that üservice providers’ personnel are fully aware of the SSP and its relationship with the SMS üsafety critical information is conveyed to service providers üservice providers understand why particular safety actions are taken

Safety communication v The State should communicate SSP policies, objectives, processes and procedures to all staff within State aviation organizations v The SSP should be visible in all aspects of the authority’s activities v Safety communication aims to ØEnsure that all staff is fully aware of the SSP ØConvey safety critical information ØExplain why particular actions are taken ØExplain why safety procedures are introduced or changed ØConvey “nice-to-know” information

Essential points v The implementation of the SSP leaves unchanged the need for State aviation authorities staff to possess specialized technical knowledge and skills v The implementation of a SSP requires additional skills in areas such as hazard identification and safety risk management v The State must provide the necessary training to develop the additional skills
