Chap.9 SMSM Safety performance monitoring and measurement

 Objective of  Safety performance monitoring and measurement is to describe the safety performance monitoring and measurement component of the SMS. This includes the organization’s SMS safety performance indicators (SPIs).
 Four criteria for compliance:
  1.  Formal process to develop and maintain a set of safety performance indicators and their associated performance targets.
  2. Correlation established between the SPIs and the organization’s safety objectives where applicable and the process of regulatory acceptance of the SPIs.
  3. process of monitoring the performance of these SPIs including remedial action procedure whenever unacceptable or abnormal trends are triggered.
  4. Any other supplementary SMS or safety performance monitoring and measurement criteria or process.

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 moveme...

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 th...

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 appropriat...
