ICAO Safety Management Manual Doc 9859

                     The ICAO Safety Management Manual, Third Edition - 2013 (Doc 9859-AN/474) is intended to serve as a source of information and guidance on safety management. The third edition of the ICAO Safety Management Manual (SMM) supersedes the second edition, published in 2009, and the ICAO Accident Prevention Manual (Doc 9422), which is obsolete.                 This manual is intended to provide States with guidance on the development and implementation of a State safety programme (SSP), in accordance with the SARPs  contained in  Annex 1 — Personnel Licensing,  Annex 6 — Operation of Aircraft,  Annex 8 — Airworthiness of Aircraft,  Annex 11 — Air Traffic Services,  Annex 13 — Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation and  Annex 14 — Aerodromes, Volume I — Aerodrome Design and Operations.  Annex 19 — Safety Management. This manual also provides guidance material for the establishment of safety management system (SMS) requirements by States as well as for SM

Just Culture (Developing and Maintaining)

Key Features for Developing and Maintaining a Just Culture                 The following list outlines some of the key features that need to be addressed when developing and maintaining a Just Culture in an organisation: Just Culture policy documented. Definitions agreed about what is “acceptable” behaviour, and what is “not acceptable”. (Note: these will be specific to, and aligned with, values derived from national, organizational and professional cultures). Sanctions agreed for unacceptable behaviour. Process to deal with actions in the “grey area”. Just Culture policy communicated throughout the organisation. Reporting systems linked to Just Culture policy. Fair treatment being applied. Breaches of the policy being monitored (e.g., error punished or violations excused). Reports being followed-up; actions taken to address error-producing condition

National Aerospace Standard (NAS) 411

                          This National Aerospace Standard (NAS) 411 was created by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) as an industry standard to manage hazardous material (HAZMAT) used in Products and Services. As appropriate, NAS411 requirements can be applied to all Products and Services lifecycle phases, e.g. Materiel Solution Analysis, Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction, Engineering and Manufacturing Development, Production and Deployment, Operations and Support, and Disposal.                      The Hazardous Materials Management Program (HMMP) is the process to ensure appropriate consideration is given to the systematic identification, evaluation, elimination or minimization of HAZMAT risks to human health or the environment (including risks of violating related and applicable regulatory requirements), and to identify measures to appropriately control such risks that are not eliminated. Unless otherwise noted, the process includes risks attributed to produc
