  9. Government decision of August 2009 • Adopt “best practice” safety regulation • Drive cultural change across industry • Introduce a cost recovery regime to secure sufficient resources for effective regulation

  10. “best practice” regulation – • Must cover all types of organisation while encouraging improvement among good and poor performers. • Must apply evidence-based decision making • Must be transparent, consistent and pro-active Whilst ensuring that responsibility rests with risk-generator.

  11. “best practice” safety regulation requires: Sufficient incentives for whole of industry (including those reluctant to comply) Highly skilled and appropriately resourced regulatory inspectorate A sound legislative base Industry recognising that it has the primary role 12

  12. Best Practice is: ▲ Proactive approach to safety regulation ▲ Less prescription, with safety case the ‘norm’ ▲ Data-driven decision making ▲ Improved transparency/communication ▲ Nationally recognised staff competency ▲ Internationally recognised performance measures Competency Capacity Legislation
