  2. ATAC’S OBJECTIVE ATAC’s policy is to promote SMS and to facilitate Canadian air operators in the implementation of an SMS that is appropriate for the size and complexity of their operation and in compliance with the CARs. ATAC has committed significant resources to assist small and medium sized Canadian commercial aviation companies towards successful SMS implementation.

  3. ATAC’S SMS TOOL KIT AND GUIDE ATAC has created an SMS Tool Kit and Guide based on the premise that “SMS adds value to your company” A year spent in the elaboration of the concept of the type of SMS in a smaller organization and the tools and services required to help the smaller operator. A twofold challenge: to design an SMS Model that would meet TC’s requirements,; and to come up with a Guide which would accepted by the smaller organization. Our purpose today is to present to you the underlying assumptions, approaches and concepts and tools that we believe will define, and help implement and maintain a compliant SMS in a small organization.

  4. 4 Combining Elements and Components • Risk Profile and Performance Measurement • Combining Performance Measurement, Management Review and Quality Assurance 9/2/2014

  5. 5 Combining Reactive and Proactive Processes • Combining SMS Documentation and Records Management • Reduce confusion in small organizations • Improve safety performance sooner • Reduce TC validation resource requirements 9/2/2014

  6. 6 Non-punitive Reporting Policy • Non-punitive policy vs Just Culture • Not a “Get out of jail free” • Not the reality • Not to assess blame • Limited Liability-Limited Control • Violations vs Non-compliance 9/2/2014

  7. 7 Critical Safety Information • Information essential for safe operations and an effective SMS • Creations of processes and procedures that effectively identify, distribute and update this information • Reduces SMS complexity 9/2/2014

  8. 8 Simplification of Lexicon • Identification of hazards that led/might lead to an occurrence • Call human factors, organizational factors, workplace factors, unsafe conditions, contributing factors, causes, and root causes etc simply hazards for clarity 9/2/2014

  9. 9 Safety Oversight vs Risk Management System • Avoid any confusion between TC safety oversight role and SMS requirements • Risk Management System term includes: • Reporting • Investigation & analysis • Corrective action development (TC safety oversight) • Corrective action implementation (TC safety oversight) • Improvement opportunities • Positive feedback 9/2/2014

  10. 10 QA, QC, and Safety Assurance • Quality Control • freedom from error = safety • Quality Assurance • effective processes free of errors = safety • Safety Assurance (freedom from harm) • elimination of occurrences = safety • focused sub-set of QA 9/2/2014

  11. 11 Why Safety Assurance • Risk of Error • Experience levels • Technical Sophistication • Operating Environment • Size and Complexity • QMS elements included 9/2/2014

  12. 12 Trend Analysis • Statistical Viability • Qualitative Approach • Quantitative Approach • Numbers of Occurrences • Changes in Safety Culture 9/2/2014

  13. 13 Implementation Requirements • Hazard Register and Risk Profile development • Safety Assurance Program • One phase for implementation of reactive and proactive processes 9/2/2014

  14. 14 New Concepts Summary (1) • Combined Performance Measurement, Management Review, and QA • Combine Implementation of Reactive and Proactive Processes • Combine SMS and QM • Just Culture vs Non-Punitive Reporting 9/2/2014

  15. 15 New Concepts Summary (2) • Critical Safety Information • Simplified Lexicon • Safety Oversight vs Risk Management • Safety Assurance • Trend Analysis • Hazard Registry/Risk Profile Requirement 9/2/2014

  16. ATAC GUIDANCE SERVICES The ATAC SMS Implementation Guidance Services include such components as: SMS implementation guidance documents; Group and individual SMS implementation guide training; SMS implementation consultation services; An ATAC Crisis Management Consultation Committee; and, Representation at a proposed “Joint Transport Canada and Industry SMS Implementation Advisory Board“.

  17. Toolbox components • Implementation workflow checklist • All processes in flow charts • Detailed breakdown of flowchart • Templates • Training program for implementers • Operational support • Integrated Gap Analysis and Coherence Matrix

  18. SAMPLE MANUALS • Emergency Response Manual • System Safety Manual • Quality Manual • Coherence Matrix • Forms

  19. Training & Support • Workshop as part of the toolbox package • Will be scheduled at various locations across the country • 2 to 3 day workshop • On line or onsite support available
