Chap.7: Safety reporting and remedial actions

                           CAR Section 1 Series C Part I prescribes the guidance on Contents of
the SMS Manual. Annexure to SSP Circular No. 02 of 2018 provides the detailed guidance for preparation of Safety Management System Manual.
       Objective of Chap.7 : Safety reporting and remedial action, is to establish  
reporting system which should include both reactive (accident/incident reports, etc.) and
proactive/ predictive (hazard reports). 
          Describe the respective reporting systems. Factors to consider include: report format, confidentiality, addressees,   investigation/evaluation procedures, corrective/ preventive actions and  report  dissemination.
Critera for Safety Reporting System.
     a)  Procedure that provides for the capture of internal occurrences including accidents, incidents and other occurrences relevant to SMS.
     b) Distinction is to be made between mandatory reports (accidents, serious  incidents, major defects, etc.), which are required to be notified to the AAIB/DGCA, and other routine occurrence reports, which remain within the organization. 
     c) There is also a voluntary and confidential hazard/occurrence reporting system, incorporating appropriate identity /data protection as applicable.
    c) Reporting processes are simple, accessible.
    d) High-consequence reports and associated recommendations are addressed to and reviewed by management.
   e) Reports are collected in an appropriate database to facilitate the necessary analysis.

SHEL(L) Model

   “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
