situation and
trying to see how
it could fail

HMMM? OUCH! OUCH!*@
PERHAPS HMMM? OUCH!
OKAY PERHAPS? HMMM?
SEVERITY
How much could hazard hurt? (“Ouch Factor”)
Not at All Not Much A Lot
A Lot
Not Often
Not at All
PPT-135-01 10
Risk Management
Consider assigning responsibilities to certain staff
members for managing risk in their department
PPT-135-01 11
Safety Assurance
• Constantly observe every aspect of your
operations
 “You can observe a lot by just watching”
• Analyze your data. Are things getting better or
worse?
 Look as past claims, incidents, injuries
 Record near misses
• Look for processes that do not have the
desired outcome, then ask what and why
PPT-135-01 12
Safety Promotion
• Managers and supervisors should talk it up!
• Make safety part of daily conversations
• Get people on board by making your
organization’s commitment to safety known
• Make it part of your culture, make it the way
you do business
PPT-135-01 13
The Reality
• SMS implementation will not be effortless
• Most “good” things do require some level of
effort
• Be patient
• Results will not occur overnight
• The positive changes are worth the patience
and effort

Editor's Notes

  1. The International Air Transport Association defines a Safety Management System (SMS) as being a systematic approach to managing safety, including the necessary organizational structures, accountabilities, policies and procedures. Another definition of an SMS is a businesslike approach to safety. It is a systematic, explicit and comprehensive process for managing safety risks. As with all management systems, a safety management system provides for goal setting, planning, and measuring performance.
  2. An SMS provides a systematic way to identify hazards and control risks while maintaining assurance that these risk controls are effective.
  3. An SMS is not “rocket science” or “magic.” There are three imperatives for adopting a safety management system for a business – these are ethical, legal and financial.
  4. To be effective an SMS needs the following four key elements: Safety Policy Risk Management Safety Assurance Safety Promotion
  5. To have a successful SMS each of the four key elements needs to be given the same “weight” when developing the system.
  6. The first element of an SMS is the actual safety policy. To ensure the policy is adequate and applicable to the organization the following should be given thought: Use clear unambiguous language Incorporate two key principles 1. Do it safely or not at all 2. There is always time to do it right Consider work-stop authority
  7. The second element of a good SMS is Risk Management consists of: Recognizing a dangerous situation or condition Looking at a situation and trying to see how it could fail
  8. Risk management is also: Analyzing job tasks, records, inspections, prioritizing issues and developing corrective action plans Consider using a risk matrix
  9. In addition, Risk Management will take into consideration how often a hazard occurs as well as how much affect on the operation, people and facility the hazard can have.
  10. As part of the Risk Management element of an SMS consideration should be given to assigning responsibilities to certain staff members for managing risk within their department.
  11. The next element of an SMS is Safety Assurance. As part of this element: Constantly observe every aspect of your operations “You can observe a lot by just watching” Analyze your data. Are things getting better or worse? Look as past claims, incidents, injuries Record near misses Look for processes that do not have the desired outcome, then ask what and why
  12. The final element of the SMS is Safety Promotion. The element is very important because it allows employees to understand that safety is a priority within the organization. As part of this element: Managers and supervisors should talk it up! Make safety part of daily conversations Get people on board by making your organization’s commitment to safety known Make it part of your culture, make it the way you do business
  13. Establishing and maintaining a good SMS takes dedication and effort. Expect that results will not occur quickly – don’t become discouraged!
