Questions
Contents
SSP development is based upon basic safety management
principles (SRM and SA)
SSP is the bridge that closes the gap between the internal
and external safety processes of a State and the internal
safety processes of service providers
SSP development
State
Service
providers
SMSSMS SSPSSP
The SSP can only be effectively implemented as part of an
overall framework of accountabilities and responsibilities
within the State
The SSP must include
explicit policies
procedures
management controls
documentation
corrective action processes to keep the State safety
management efforts on track
State responsibilities on safety policy and objectives
Rulemaking and policy development based on hazard
identification and analysis of the safety risks of the
consequences of hazards
Regulations become safety risk controls when adopted by
service providers’ SMS
State responsibilities on safety risk management
Effective and efficient implementation of SSP oversight
activities supported by hazard identification and safety risk
analyses
Effective and efficient implementation of oversight activities of
service providers based on the assessment of safety
performance of service providers’ SMS
Priorities regarding resource allocation are based upon
the severity of the safety risks of the hazards identified
Compliance monitoring is based on conventional auditing
State responsibilities on safety assurance
State must provide its staff
Competence and technical knowledge
Additional knowledge regarding hazard identification and
safety risk analysis
State must communicate its SSP internally and externally
