Requirements in "hard“ legislations: Law, RD, MO Compliance with regulations means being safe: the more margin the safer

WHERE DID WE COME FROM?


Evolution of safety oversight approaches:

Evolution of safety concept: 50’s: Technological breakthroughs 70’s-80’s: Human Factors 90’s: Reason’s organizational accident

ICAO defines SSP as an integrated set of regulations & activities aimed at improving safety

SSP is a management system to manage safety at the State level: take decisions based on safety data analysis, allocate resources in critical safety areas, evaluate the effectiveness of the measures taken & improve safety level

States are responsible for establishing their safety programs

WHAT IS A STATE SAFETY PROGRAMME?


New safety concept: Safety is the state in which the risk of injury to persons

or damage to property is reduced and maintained at an acceptable level, or below it, through an ongoing process of hazard identification & risk management

AESA is leading the development of the Spanish State Safety Programme for Civil Aviation

Spanish State Safety Programme takes into account:

SPANISH STATE SAFETY PROGRAMME


EASA European Aviation Safety Programme

EASAC coordinates European Aviation Safety Programme & European Aviation Safety Plan

AESA participates in EASAC together with EC, EASA, Industry & other MSs

ICAO requirements: Annexes & 9859 doc. (SSP framework)

Single European Sky Regulation in air navigation domain

Safety data flow is key to building SSP

After performing a robust ICAO gap analysis, Spanish Government decided to amend Aviation Safety Act 21/2003 (ICAO 1.1-1.2-1.4)

As a 1st step, AESA has elaborated a robust gap analysis (ICAO doc. 9859 Chapter 11) with the invaluable assistance of Capt. Daniel Mauriño Top-down & bottom-up approach

Spain has established the legal framework of the SSP: Assignation of state safety responsibilities & accountabilities Accident Investigation Bureau independence reinforcement Safety Information & Whistleblower protection Enforcement policy definition

AESA is working together with main Air Operators to foster SMS implementation SMS Implementation Guidance Material

AESA is working together with stakeholders to identify common SPIs Without stakeholders participation, meaningful SPIs can NOT be defined Predictive indicators

AESA is continuously improving its data collection & analysis processes New quantitative SRM methodologies, computer-based tools development,

training, etc. MORS is a key safety data source BUT it must be complemented with other

safety data sources

Other SSPs lack of this approach

Data analysis and risk management = improving safety

Safety data: the system’s blood

Spain has been working for years on SSP implementation;following ICAO’s framework

SSP implementation is everyone's business: industry and public administration

Future challenges: effective safety information exchange and quantitative (scientific-based) risk assessment methodologies

Safety data & whistleblower protection: key SSP element
