The document outlines the requirements and framework for a Safety Management System (SMS) as well as its implementation phases. It discusses that an SMS is based on the SMS CAR (Civil Aviation Requirements), has an Accountable Executive responsible for its implementation and maintenance, and includes components such as a safety policy, risk management, occurrence reporting, safety promotion, and auditing. It also describes the four phases of SMS implementation, including initial documentation of the framework and subsequent phases focusing on hazard identification and risk management processes.
