Chap 5 : Safety Objective

 Objective of Chap.5  Safety Objective describe the safety objectives of the organization. 
The safety objectives should be a short statement that describes in broad terms what the organization hopes to achieve.
Criteria :
  1. The safety objectives have been established are expressed as a top-level statement describing the organization’s          commitment to achieving safety.
  2. There is a formal process to develop a coherent set of safety objectives.
  3. The safety objectives are publicized and distributed.
  4.  Resources have been allocated for achieving the objectives.
  5.  Where the safety objectives are linked to safety indicators to facilitate monitoring and measurement where appropriate.
 Objective:
  1. training in functional and professional areas (initial, recurrent and effectiveness);  
  2.  equipment, infrastructure, and service facility provision;
  3. maintenance of equipment, infrastructure, and service facilities;
  4. the provision and promulgation of data to the required accuracy;
  5.  safety performance setting and monitoring;
  6. reacting to occurrences and being proactive and predictive in identifying emerging hazards;
  7. design, development and the entering into service of changes in airport  organization, infrastructure, and facilities; and
  8. staffing establishment, including the:
                    i.  appointment of the right people in the right jobs by a process that matches personnel profiles to task competence needs, including key appointments in safety-critical areas; and
                   ii.  Establishment of specialist safety groups at the senior and other levels.

SHEL(L) Model

Image
   “SHEL” model  : The component blocks of the SHEL model : Software, Hardware, Environment, Liveware). The  interpretations are: liveware (human), hardware (machine), software (procedures, symbology, etc.) and environment.                                   Liveware (the human)  is at the centre of the model. Human is generally considered  the most critical as well as the most flexible component in the system. Yet people are subject to considerable variations in performance and suffer many limitations, most of which are now predictable in general terms. The edges of this block are jagged, and so the other components of the system must be carefully matched with them if stress in the system and eventual breakdown are to be avoided.  Physical size and shape. In the design of workplace and equipment, a vital consideration involves body measurements and movements, which may vary according to factors such as age, ethnicity and gender. Human Factors inputs must be provided at an early sta

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

Safety Culture

Image
                          Culture is characterized by the beliefs, values, biases and their resultant behaviour that are shared among members of a society, group or organization. An understanding of these cultural components, and the interactions among them, is important to safety management. Among the most influential cultural components are organizational, professional, and national. A reporting culture is key component of these different cultures. The mix of cultural components may vary greatly among organizations and can negatively influence effective hazard reporting, collaborative root cause analysis, and acceptable risk mitigation. Continous improvement in safety performance is possible when safety becomes a value within an organization as well as a priority at the national or professional level .                         Safety Culture encompasses the commonly held perceptions and beliefs of an organization‘s members pertaining to the public‘s safety and can be a determin
