2 BASIC CONCEPTS Safety Management System I. SMS proactive approach II. III. ICAO and EASA strategic plan SMS integrated system for managing all safety aspects: Coordinated set of processes All levels of the organisation involved (top management and egineers) Living system Safety Management System is the most complete and integrated approach to safety that an organisation must put into operation for the prevention, recovery and containment of the negative outcome of occurrences, incidents and non-conformity events that may occur during the life and active processes of an organisation.

5 Operational approaches of SMS 1. Prospective safety analysis; 2. Retrospective safety analysis; 3. Safety Audit; 4. Emergency management. Prospective safety analysis; A precise methodology that allows to evaluate the risk of certain initiators and possible boundary conditions, giving rise to precise values to be inserted into the Risk Matrix, typical of an organisation Retrospective safety analysis; Requires the implementation of retrospective analysis methods relating to the content resulting from the collected data of occurrences and events, which required a report to the authorities, and voluntary reports submitted to the attention of an organization. Page 5

6 Retrospective Analysis for SMS Data collection and Classification of an Occurrence 1. Identification of Events; 2. Event Time Line; 3. Classification of each Event Occurrence: an interruption of operations, defect, failure, or other circumstances that has or can have influence on flight safety, which does not necessarily have resulted in a severe accident, which meets the need to archive the events according to a standard mode on a system of data collection. Event: a measureable change of state of a system Human Factor Event: a performance (or non performance) of an action that has an effect on the system state Page 6
