6 Exemplar Challenge The Leadership of BAE Systems has committed The Company to an exemplar position on safety: This means zero tolerance on unsafe workplace and unsafe working practices to be delivered within each business through target driven performance improvements across both leading and lagging indicators. Includes the safety obligation with our Partners and Providers. Safety Culture is defined as an organisations values and behaviours, modelled by its leaders, and internalised by its team members This means leading by example! 6

7 Where are you? EXEMPLAR / GENERATIVE Safety is how we do business round here Increasingly Informed ADVANCED / PROACTIVE We work on problems that we still find STANDARD / CALCULATIVE We have systems in place to manage all hazards FOUNDATION / REACTIVE Safety is important, we do a lot every time we have an accident PATHOLOGICAL Who cares as long as we re not caught Increased Trust and Accountability Based upon SHELL model 7

12 Our next steps towards a Safety Management System SMS is proactively managing safety in a systematic way Identifies safety hazards Ensures that remedial action necessary to maintain an acceptable level of safety is implemented. Provides continuous monitoring and regular assessment of the safety level achieved. Aims to make continuous improvement to the overall level of safety Provides a transparent, recorded system to manage safety and deserves at least the same degree of care that would be applied to a financial management system. Instead of answering the question Are we safe? with As far as I know we will be able to answer Yes because of our SMS!. 12

13 Benefits of a Safety Management System A reduction in accidents, damage and injuries Long term cost efficiencies Competitive advantage for the business Provision of evidence of effective management of risks to ensure safe manufacture & maintenance Elevation of standard of safety management, which should reduces insurance premiums when implemented effectively Improved morale within the Organisation Compliance with all current regulations GOOD FOR SAFETY, GOOD FOR BUSINESS 13

15 Operational Risk Management in Maintenance Hazard identification, assessment and control, should be an integral part of routine maintenance, rather than limited to project lifecycle phases and implicit personal action. Communications MEMS & others reports Tech Pubs & Procedures Fleet Error Provocative Events Business Management Change Typical Hazard Considerations for Maintenance Organisational Factors HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Planning & Preparation Human Performance Limitations Leadership / Supervision Need to consider assessments by aircraft rectification lines and component bays, using personnel from these areas.

17 Summary Successful Interventions can come from investing in HF learning, but you must be prepared for the journey. A successful Error Management System needs :- Energy! Just Culture led from the Top plus Opinion Leaders Comprehensive investigations with loads of feedback / publicity Energy! Feedback the investigations into your training Then the toe in the water Energy! Then the deluge begins A Safety Management System can only start once you have a working HF and Error Management System all about behaviour The system must integrate within the bigger system! 17
