Ensuring a Multidisciplinary ApproachFacilitating Information Exchange: Code of Conduct

High-level principles to ensure appropriate sharing and use of safety information

Safety Information Protection Task Force Recommendations for ICAO to ensure availability of safety

information, consistent with legal / judicial requirements Communication and outreach strategies being developed Deliverables expected within 18 months

Technical Harmonization Study Group Development of common safety metrics and analysis methods Requirements for interoperable tools and information systems Work planned to begin early next year

Harmonizing & sharing information

Speaking a common language: Accident and Hazard classifications must be

aligned. ADREP

34 Occurrence Categories – 10 directly related to runway safety

Approximately 800 event codes Improvements being developed to enhance use

as a Safety Management reporting system

Improving reporting and information sharing techniques
