4.1 Internal training, communication and dissemination of safety information

The State aviation organization that has been designated

as placeholder for the SSP shall develop and maintain a

safety training programme that ensures that personnel are

trained and competent to perform the SSP duties

SSP safety promotion

The scope of the internal safety training shall be appropriate to each individual’s involvement in the SSP

The training programme should develop staff knowledge about ICAO SARPs related to the SSP and SMS the ICAO SSP framework, its components and

elementsrelated guidance material…

Internal training programme

... The training programme should develop staff knowledge about

key elements of an SSP

State’s SSP policies, responsibilities and accountabilities, processes and procedures

acceptable levels of safety (ALoS)

safety assurance processes

an SSP implementation plan

Internal training programme

Safety training development should include

a documented process to identify training requirements and training provided

means to assess the effectiveness of training

Rationale for the SSP training programme

The State must ensure that all personnel are provided with

safety information appropriate to their identified needs, to the

extent of their safety functions and responsibilities.

Safety training should be delivered by persons with

appropriate knowledge

skills, and

experience in the applicable subject area

SSP training programme – Categories

The State must base and develop its SSP training programme around the four components of the ICAO SSP framework

There should be three categories of training

A – Indoctrination/initial safety training

B – On the job (OJT) safety training

C – Recurrent safety training

SSP training programme – Categories

Indoctrination/initial

safety training

New staff are trained onthe basics of SSP/SMS

and their safety responsibilities in

accordance with theirinvolvement in the SSP

programme

On the job (OJT) safety

training

Safety training maybe in the form of

on-the-jobtraining, delivered by

persons with appropriate

knowledge, skills and experience.

Recurrent safety

trainingAt least once a year a

one-day refresher safety training should be

provided to all appropriate staff

SSP training programme – Categories

When developing the SSP training programme, the State should take into account the different levels of knowledge and awareness required for the functions and responsibilities of the different staff positions within the authority

The four levels of SSP training are

1. Generic safety training

2. Initial job-specific safety training

3. Advanced safety training

4. High level safety briefing

SSP levels of training

1 – Generic safety training

All relevant State aviation authorities staff

To familiarize trainees with State safety policies, objectives and SSP/SMS fundamentals

To provide an overview of safety responsibilities, including safety procedures and hazards reporting

Hazards, consequences and risksSafety risk management process, including roles and

responsibilitiesSafety reportingService providers’ safety reporting system(s)

2 – Initial job-specific safety training

State aviation authorities technical staff

To familiarize trainees with safety concepts, hazard identification and risk management relevant to their respective roles, functions and responsibilities

In addition to 1)Hazard identification and risk management processesSafety data collection and analysis

Note . – Promotion or internal movements within the State aviation authorities may require additional safety training

3 – Advanced safety training

State aviation authorities middle and senior managers

To familiarize trainees with safety responsibilities, including compliance with national and organizational safety requirements, allocation of resources, and effective inter-departmental safety communication and active promotion of the SSP

In addition to 1) and 2)

Safety roles and responsibilities

Safety assurance and safety promotion

Establishment of ALoS and safety performance of SMS

4 – High level safety briefing

SSP Accountable Executive

High level safety briefing should provide a special safety briefing on the SSP components and elements

Organization of the SSPSSP roles and safety responsibilitiesSafety policy and objectivesSafety risk managementSafety assuranceSafety promotion

Note. – This training session should be reasonably brief (it should not exceed one-half day)

Training requirements and activities for each level within the State safety oversight authority should be documented

A training file should be developed for each staff member, including management staff, to assist in identifying and tracking staff safety training requirements and verifying compliance

SSP training programmes should be adapted to fit the needs and complexity of the State aviation activities

Training documentation

4.2 External training, communication and dissemination of safety information

The State shall develop and maintain a formal means for safety communication that ensures thatservice providers’ personnel are fully aware of the SSP

and its relationship with the SMSsafety critical information is conveyed to service

providersservice providers understand why particular safety

actions are taken

SSP safety promotion

The State should communicate SSP policies, objectives, processes and procedures to all staff within State aviation organizations

The SSP should be visible in all aspects of the authority’s activities

Safety communication aims toEnsure that all staff is fully aware of the SSPConvey safety critical informationExplain why particular actions are takenExplain why safety procedures are introduced or changedConvey “nice-to-know” information

Safety communication

The implementation of the SSP leaves unchanged the need for State aviation authorities staff to possess specialized technical knowledge and skills

The implementation of a SSP requires additional skills in areas such as hazard identification and safety risk management

The State must provide the necessary training to develop the additional skills
