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

5. ICAO SSP framework • 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 • State’s safety risk management • 2.1 Safety requirements for service providers SMS • 2.2 Agreement on service providers safety performance • 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 • State’s safety promotion • 4.1 Internal training, communication and dissemination of safety information • 4.2 External training, communication and dissemination of safety information

6. SSP safety promotion • 4.1 Internal training, communication and dissemination of safety information • The 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

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

8. Internal training programme • ... The training programme should develop staff knowledge about • key elements of an SSP • State’s SSP policies, responsibilities and accountabilities, processes and procedures • acceptable levels of safety (ALoS) • safety assurance processes • an SSP implementation plan

9. Rationale for the SSP training programme • Safety training development should include • a documented process to identify training requirements and training provided • means to assess the effectiveness of training

10. SSP training programme – Categories • 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. • Safety training should be delivered by persons with • appropriate knowledge • skills, and • experience in the applicable subject area

11. SSP training programme – Categories • The State must base and develop its SSP training programme around the four components of the ICAO SSP framework • There should be three categories of training • A – Indoctrination/initial safety training • B – On the job (OJT) safety training • C – Recurrent safety training

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

13. SSP levels of training • 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 • The four levels of SSP training are • Generic safety training • Initial job-specific safety training • Advanced safety training • High level safety briefing

14. 1 – Generic safety training All relevant State aviation authorities staff Recipients • To familiarize trainees withState safety policies, objectives and SSP/SMS fundamentals • To provide an overview of safety responsibilities, including safety procedures and hazards reporting Training objective • Hazards, consequences and risks • Safety risk management process, including roles and responsibilities • Safety reporting • Service providers’ safety reporting system(s) Training programme contents

15. 2 – Initial job-specific safety training State aviation authorities technical staff Recipients • To familiarize trainees withsafety concepts, hazard identification and risk management relevant to their respective roles, functions and responsibilities Training objective • In addition to 1) • Hazard identification and risk management processes • Safety data collection and analysis • Note . – Promotion or internal movements within the State aviation authorities may require additional safety training Training programme contents

16. 3 – Advanced safety training State aviation authorities middle and senior managers Recipients • To familiarize trainees withsafety responsibilities, including compliance with national and organizational safety requirements, allocation of resources, and effective inter-departmental safety communication and active promotion of the SSP Training objective • In addition to 1) and 2) • Safety roles and responsibilities • Safety assurance and safety promotion • Establishment of ALoS and safety performance of SMS Training programme contents

17. 4 – High level safety briefing SSP Accountable Executive Recipients • High level safety briefing should provide a special safety briefing on the SSP components and elements Training objective • Organization of the SSP • SSP roles and safety responsibilities • Safety policy and objectives • Safety risk management • Safety assurance • Safety promotion • Note. – This training session should be reasonably brief (it should not exceed one-half day) Training programme contents

18. Training documentation • Training requirements and activities for each level within the State safety oversight authority should be documented • 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 • SSP training programmes should be adapted to fit the needs and complexityof the State aviation activities

19. SSP safety promotion • 4.2 External training, communication and dissemination of safety information • The State shall develop and maintain a formal means for safety communication that ensures that • service providers’ personnel are fully aware of the SSP and its relationship with the SMS • safety critical information is conveyed to service providers • service providers understand why particular safety actions are taken

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

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