A strategic overview of the ICAO Safety Framework, which includes an update to the Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP) planned for completion later in 2011. The revision to the GASP will incorporate safety management principles, including a risk-based approach to the establishment and measurement of key safety objectives. Attainment of GASP objectives is made possible through the implementation of Global Safety Initiatives, which are achieved and measured through the continuous exchange of safety information. In this briefing, Ms. Graham will provide a summary of how ICAO is “walking the talk” of safety management, through the conduct of proactive risk analysis and participation in information sharing initiatives such as the Global Safety Information exchange.
