Safety Management Systems • “SMS is a systematic approach to managing safety, including necessary organisation structures, accountabilities, policies and procedures” [ICAO] • SMS description • Holistic • Risk-based • Data-driven • Goes beyond compliance • Tailored to operating environment Design Delegation Holder’s Seminar
Benefits • Builds on quality management, and provides a framework for managing all safety-related processes • Hazards identified and risks managed before they impact safety / business • Avoid human and financial cost of negative safety event • Improved decision-making • Data-driven performance targets and monitoring provides basis for assessing and improving safety performance • SMS can be integrated with other systems • Foundation for a positive safety culture Design Delegation Holder’s Seminar
Background • SMS and risk based oversight are now the cornerstones of ICAO regulatory philosophy • ICAO required States to implement SMS as of 01 January 2009 • New Zealand aviation sector has solid foundation of Quality Management • Many participants have voluntarily adopted SMS • CAA has been developing SMS foundational requirements for 2 – 3 years • This work has, and will continue to be, informed by industry experience and the lessons learned by other regulators Design Delegation Holder’s Seminar
Policy Development • Transport Rules Redesign Project • Policy work done up front • Must consider other options to Rules • Policy work • CAA (with Castalia assistance) • Industry consultation • Cabinet paper → Regulatory impact Statement (RIS) • Cabinet paper will propose a framework for consequential changes related to SMS (including Rules) Design Delegation Holder’s Seminar
Rule Development • SMS will be implemented through series of amendments to CARs supported by a comprehensive single AC • SMS Rules will replace QA Rules • Rule amendments have been divided into three Groups • There will be a transition period for each Group • Voluntary adoption of SMS by participants in advance of Rule implementation is encouraged Design Delegation Holder’s Seminar
Rule Development • Group 1 • Part 119 – 121 & 125 • 139 • 145 (supporting 121/125 ops) • 172 • Group 3 • Part19 • 137 • Group 2 • Part 119 – 135 • 141 • 145 (supporting other ops) • 146 • 148 • 149 • 171/174/175 Design Delegation Holder’s Seminar

ICAO SMS Elements Design Delegation Holder’s Seminar
SMS Advisory Circular • Draft AC completed with Aerosafe assistance • AC will provide acceptable means of compliance with SMS Rules • Guidance material also included • Scalable for size and complexity • Tools and practices not prescribed • AC will be released for consultation – feedback is requested Design Delegation Holder’s Seminar
Industry engagement • Industry participants have provided input to NPRM and AC (e.g. PWG) • Wider consultation on AC and NPRM • SMS promotion by CAA • Forums • Support materials • Vector • Support and leadership by industry groups • Sharing of practices and experiences is encouraged Design Delegation Holder’s Seminar
SMS Implementation • CAA personnel trained in SMS/risk (complete) • NPRM and AC development (complete) • Policy and RIS development (in progress) • Policy proposal to Cabinet (July/August 2012) • NPRM & AC for consultation (once policy / RIS accepted) • Final Rules signed and issued, transition period commences (est. last quarter 2012 calendar yr.) • Participants submit Exposition changes (SMS) to CAA for acceptance prior to Rule effective date • Rule effective (est. 2014) → CAA monitoring Design Delegation Holder’s Seminar
State Safety Programme (SSP) • State framework to support SMS • SSP main components: • State safety policy & objectives • State safety risk management • State safety assurance • State safety promotion • Gap Analysis completed & submitted to ICAO • NZ already has many of requirements in place • Gaps will be addressed through CAA change programme (most underway) Design Delegation Holder’s Seminar
SSP (cont’d) Key areas of work • SMS Rules (∆ risk management) • Risk-based monitoring • Safety performance targets for industry • Descriptive rather than numerical • Effectiveness of interventions • Safety data collection, analysis and exchange (e.g. sector safety initiatives) • Regulatory Operating Model and Regulatory Tools Policy Design Delegation Holder’s Seminar
