Safety considerations will always take precedence over other College business, and the College is fully committed to a process of continuous review and improvement maintenance. The need to comply with current legislation, operate and work in accordance with the College Training and Procedures Manuals and as a baseline is implicit. staff/students should aspire to this level as a minimum. An acceptance of human factors and human performance limitations will be fully taken into account and no staff member on student should be reticent about reporting any event or incident on the grounds that he or she may be penalised for their actions. The IAC safety culture supports a just and learning approach that does not seek to apportion blame as its primary purpose. It is recognised that human error can occur. However, all staff are participants in this safety drive and will remain They are expected to make common sense responsible for their own actions. decisions when required. Safety reporting, subsequent analyses and finally remedial action is achieved by the means of an SMS reporting process that allows for verbal reports as well as written reports. A Safety Team, who will determine what action should be taken, will discuss all reports. All members of staff and student, at every level, carry a responsibility to participate actively in the pursuit of this high standard of safety, and ensure that the trust the Industry place with us is justified.

3.0 SAFETY ASSURANCE
Safety Culture or climate may be thought of as the IACs collective norms, standards, perceptions and behaviors with respect to safety. Managements fostering of a positive safety culture is critical to any effective safety program. The following concepts and actions are elements of a positive safety culture:

Unqualified commitment to safety as a behavioral pattern and pervasive way of life by top management. Unambiguous expectations by each level of management as well as each peer group that, for all employees, safe life patterns and work habits are as normal as breathing and must be practiced off the job as well as on the job. Availability of quality, standardized equipment with which to accomplish the assigned tasks. Clear, easily understood operating procedures, followed without

deviation.

Inclusive system of communications for collecting, analyzing, and exchanging incident data related to safety. Non-retribution for submission of incident data. Retraining without penalty or stigma when safety is involved. System for tracking incident and accident data, analysis of trends, and feedback of results. Peer acceptance that accidents are preventable, regardless of

operations.

Peer acceptance that safety is a matter of lifestyle a matter of culture.

These are the safety performance indicators that must be verified in reference to the IAC as safety performance targets. 3.1 Safety Data Collection, Analysis and Exchange. IAC will collate all safety related data and mechanism to store vital safety related data on hazards and safety risks at all levels of Management and other categories of staff.

3.2 Management of Change. IAC has put in place a formal policy in the SMS manual to take into consideration for formal change in its organization which may affect established processes and services to ensure safety continuity and to eliminate or modify safety risk controls that are no longer needed or effective due to changes in the operational environment. 3.3 Continuous Improvement of the SMS IAC has developed mitigate such causes Following a report of non-conformity by an quality or safety auditor in order to aid determination of the cause, such as accidents, all safety reports should be assigned using the matrix as shown above,. Where the risk involved in the activity determined should not take place or action should be taken to adjust procedures in order to reduce to an acceptable level. Evaluate the risk weather it is acceptable to accept the contract provided certain defenses are put in place e.g. limit the period of training reduce duty time Apply the defenses e.g. training flights not authorized before 0600 UTC. 3.4 Safety Promotion and Training Program The Safety Program consists of four major components: 1. 2. 3. 4. A formal accident prevention program, Employee safety and accident prevention education and training, An internal reporting system to allow employees and other personnel to report incidents and recognized hazards, and An internal assessment program to monitor the effectiveness of the Safety Program. a formal process to identify the causes of

(An example of the reporting forms can be found at Appendix IV) Identification of hazards and subsequent risk management is included in the quality and safety reporting process. Audits and inspections are carried out by the Quality and Safety Department to ensure full functionality of the SMS and the Colleges operation.

SMS Structure Levels 1 to 4 Figure 5 NOTE: All levels are equal as far as reporting is concerned, and a Safety Report from any level will receive the same consideration and treatment. Level 1:This comprises all College staff, including Managers and

Directors, who work for the College. Each one is part of the SMS and it is their responsibility to contribute to safe operations in the performance of their role and to report any safety incident or safety concern which adversely affects this. These Safety Reports may be made to either Levels 2, 3 or direct to the Accountable Manager / Rector at Level 4, but in the case of MORs and Incident Reports, these should be presented to the Chief Flight/Ground Instructor. (Further detailed information relating to the MOR/ASR procedure can be found in IAC Procedures Manual, .

Level 2: The IAC Chief Flight/Ground Instructor, the IAC Chief Engineer and the Registrar will generally be recipients of Safety Reports. Any verbal reports that are received will be turned into written reports, comments added, and passed to the Registrar for logging in and presentation at the next Safety Team Meeting.

Level 3: The Safety Management Team comprises the Accountable Manager / Rector, the Chief Flight/Ground Instructor, the Chief Engineer, the Registrar and the Quality Manager, who will also act as Secretary for the Team. The Team may receive Safety Reports direct from the reporters, and if they are verbal, these will need to be translated into a written format. Reports from time to time may also be made by individual members of the Team. After providing as much information as possible, including risk assessment if relevant, these Reports should be forwarded to the Quality & Safety Department at the earliest opportunity.

Level 4:The Accountable Manager for IAC is ultimately responsible for the smooth operation of the SMS, and he will make any changes he feels are appropriate in order to ensure that the Safety Policy if followed effectively. He will chair all Team Meetings or, if unable to attend, nominate a deputy.

Whenever a Report is submitted, it must be processed, even if deemed spurious or irrelevant. That decision will be made during a SMS Team Meeting, and cannot be made at any other point in the process.

4.4

Staff Responsibilities As stated in above, all staff and students are considered equal as far as safety is concerned. Each has a responsibility to: Familiarise themselves with, and apply, the College Safety Policy and its procedures.

SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CHAPTER 5 Safety Reports


5.0 SAFETY REPORTS An example of the reporting forms are shown within Appendix IV of this document, and further detail regarding the reporting of safety issues and incidents can be found in the Procedures Manual.

5.1

Submission of Reports All members of staff and student form part of the SMS. Everyone has a duty to report any incidents, accidents, actions or safety observations through the reporting system.

These reports should be made in written form, but in order to make the reporting system more accessible, they may be made verbally to any member of the SMS Team and compiled into a written report as soon as is practically possible.

In order to avoid duplication, the reporting form will be the College ASR form as shown in Appendix IV of this document and the Procedures Manual. These forms are readily available at various locations around the College.

The recipient of the report should append any further information, explanation, detail or comment he or she might be able to make to enable a risk assessment if this is appropriate and possible, and then send the form to the Quality and Safety Department.

5.2

Requirement for reporting The rationale for the SMS, backed up by the Quality System, is to ensure that the Colleges flight and ground operations are carried out to the highest standards of safety and quality. Therefore if any member of staff and student identifies an activity or situation where this does not seem to be in evidence then they are obliged to report the matter.

5.3 Reportable Occurrences A reporter may submit a Report about any matter that he or she deems appropriate for a report, but the following should definitely be reported: Flight Incidents MORs,, Incident Reports (ASRs), Bird Strikes, Lightning Strikes, ATC errors, crew problems etc. Maintenance Incidents These should also be reported by the Maintenance organisation, when known. Technical Defects and exceeding of Technical Limitations Air Traffic incidents causing safety concerns. Third party interference e.g. Runway environment intruder problems causing concern, etc. Ramp Incidents Quality Audit non-conformities with safety implications. Office equipment problems causing safety concerns (e.g. Fire) Any potential incident foreseen Identifying a hazard that one does not believe has been evaluated, or which has changed.

The report should be submitted to the Quality and Safety Department, who will ensure that the report is copied to the Personnel responsible for the area/s referenced in the report and ensure that the report is presented for discussion at the next Safety Meeting.

In some instances it may not be easy to make a report using the College ASR Form. For example, if a pilot is away from base, and he felt the matter to be urgent, he / she may submit a report via email or telephone to IAC Operations, Air Planner. This should be logged and relayed immediately to the IAC base at ILORIN for the attention of the Quality and

Safety Department. Following receipt, a written report will be raised as soon as possible.

5.4

Reports requiring Immediate Action The issue raised may be one that requires immediate action. The

recipient of the report should deal with the issue straight away, either by taking appropriate action if he / she is responsible for the area affected, or by referring the matter straight away to the relevant Personnel.

The SMS is not designed to slow down safety remedies, and if it deters someone taking sensible action to improve a situation, it will have failed in its purpose.

Should a Report lead to some action being taken prior to the Team meeting, details of the action should be included on the report, or a supplement to the report.

5.5

Actions by the Secretary to SMS All reports received, from whatever source, will be logged and given a reference number by the Secretary (Quality and Safety Department) recording the date of submission. He / she will collate all additional information presented by the reporter, including any risk assessments that have been carried out.

Copies of the reports will distributed to each member of the Team, so that they have time to consider the report and associated issues before the next meeting.

The Secretary will convene a Safety Management Meeting once a month provided there are reports or other issues to consider. If an urgent or important report comes in, a meeting will be held as soon as is reasonably possible so as not to delay discussion and actions to be taken.

Contents of Meetings should be recorded along with any decisions taken, and correct content verified. If any actions or decisions regarding individual reports are made, this will be recorded on the Report. If the Team do not reach a decision during the Meeting, this will also be recorded on the Safety Report.

The Reports requiring further action or decisions will be forwarded to the reporter so they are aware of the status of their report and what actions have and will be taken.

6.0 6.1 SAFETY MEETINGS General Meetings will normally take place monthly, but may be convened at short notice if an important issue requires discussion.

Prior to the Meeting, the Team should have received copies of all new or updated reports and the Chairman(Accountable Manager/Rector) will present on each individually for discussion. If a number of reports have been received relevant to the same subject, then they will all be considered together.

Occurrences, hazards, and other items reported may be subject to a risk assessment, which will have been carried out prior to the Meeting, but if not, will be carried out at the meeting, or afterwards if the process becomes protracted.

After Risk Analysis, an evaluation will take place, where the level of risk is compared with predetermined standards if they exist, such as target levels, or other criteria.

If there is a disagreement about what action should be taken, a majority vote will be accepted. If there is no majority, the options will be presented to the Accountable Manager/Rector who will determine the course of action.

6.2

The Records All reports and any actions taken will be recorded by the Quality and Safety Department. The decisions of the Team will be distributed to the appropriate section head and copies of the outcome distributed to the Team and the Reporter.

There may be a requirement for a new procedure, amendment to an existing procedure, an amendment to Training and Procedures Manual or Maintenance Manual or to some other Manual or instruction. The College procedure for proposing amendments should be followed if required.

The Secretary will record all decisions and actions to be taken and completion dates in the records. He / she should note the dates when the person responsible for making the change was notified. date has been recorded when the change was incorporated. The whole process will be completed when the change has been carried out and the

The records will be available at every meeting, so that any outstanding issues can be advised, closed, or revisited if required.

6.3

Reviewing Changes The SMS is a flexible process that can be changed in accordance with changing circumstances and procedures.

The SMS has to be able to change an action taken as a result of a Safety Report, if it is deemed that the action is no longer valid, was wrongly determined at the Meeting, or if new facts have come to light.

Team members must remain aware that things do change, and they need to be aware of all procedures, written or not, that have been amended due to Safety Management action, or otherwise. If there is a need to modify an incorporated or established action, the person who perceives the potential risk should submit a Safety Report so that the matter is addressed at the next meeting.

Any amendments to procedures will be incorporated into the Quality System Audit Checklists, in addition to any previous Non-conformities

SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Chapter 7 Hazard and Risk Management


7.0 7.1 HAZARD AND RISK MANAGEMENT Risk Assessment During the planning stages as well as throughout the actual operation and ongoing review due regard is taken of the relevant regulations which have usually been drawn up with the protection of people and property in mind. However, this alone is not sufficient to ensure the likelihood of an activity resulting in a significant incident is minimised.

A Risk Assessment may also be necessary in order to inform decision making whilst formulating the policy and procedures adopted by the College. This will be a task for the relevant management and is designed to reduce and control risk to an acceptable low level.

It should be utilised, including both the Colleges own operating procedures and experience and that of the industry at large. It may also be necessary to anticipate certain situations that may not be normal but, maybe foreseeable.

The process for assessing risk follows a logical sequence. These are some basic rules and examples to consider.

Example 1: Establish the Context details of the operation, with a particular aircraft type, etc. Identify the hazards Intended destination may have limited approach aids, poor weather, shorter than average runway, etc. Analyse the Risk assess when the weather is at its poorest and most limiting, etc. Evaluate the Risk Whether it is acceptable to accept the contract, provided certain defences are put in place e.g. Limit the time of the operation, reduce payload, etc.

Revision No.: 0

SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Chapter 7 Hazard and Risk Management


Apply the Defences Flight not allowed before 0600 UTC, nominate suitable alternates, etc. Monitor and review the defences After a number of operations it may be possible to further increase (or decrease) the payload, adjust the times of operation etc.

The above technique should be used in the following circumstances: Before a major change in the type of operations, as part of a Safety case submitted when seeking Authority approval. E.g. New equipment, routes or airfields Following an incident in order to prevent recurrence. All Safety Reports should be assigned a risk using the matrix as shown at 8.2 above. Following a reported non-conformity by a Quality Auditor, in order to aid determination of the course and time scale of corrective action. As part of a continual review and ongoing monitoring of risk.

Where the risk involved in the activity is determined as too high then either that activity should not take place or action should be taken to adjust procedures in order to reduce the risk to an acceptable level.

Risk assessed as medium or higher is unacceptable and must receive appropriate action.

The time scale allowed for action will be commensurate with the level of risk.

Records Significant findings arising from a risk assessment should be documented and maintained as a record. Historical records are important in determining likelihood, however it is not considered wise to rely on statistics as this may lead to poor decision making. If a hazard has never occurred in the past, it does not mean that it will never occur.

Risk assessments should be kept with the relevant Safety Reports, or in case of Quality Audit non-conformities, with the Audit documentation

7.6 New Activities: Risk Analysis If a new activity is under consideration, or a change is being made to current activities a risk analysis will be carried out. The Team Member closest to the activity will be responsible for the production of a list of possible hazards, but he or she should get others to help. The Team member will have assessed the risk and produced a risk analysis for each of the perceived hazards by the time of the next meeting, when the list will be discussed. The Secretary will, provided there is time, send each member of the Team a copy of the list and the Risk Analysis. At the meeting the analysis may not be fully accepted, and further information may be required. However, ultimately, at that meeting or a later one, a decision will be taken as to what preparation and/or training is required, and whether changes to procedures are appropriate before the activity commences.

9.0 QUALITY AUDIT The Quality Manager will audit, or arrange to have audited, the SMS process, by checking the Record Book every three months to see what SM actions have been determined in respect of incoming Safety Reports, and then following up whether the actions have been properly implemented.

A Non-Compliance would result when: An action was decided upon at the meeting, but never carried out, yet the Record Book shows that it had. A Safety Report has been made and submitted, but it has never been entered into the Record Book, and therefore probably not discussed at a Safety Meeting. Indications that the SMS had either broken down or was not functioning properly.

An Observation would be made when: The reporter did not receive a copy of the Report after the matter had been discussed and it had been annotated with the decided course of action and, therefore, did not know the outcome of the report.

Over a period of time, the SMS was perceived as not achieving what it was supposed to achieve, and was falling into disrepair.

The Quality Manager will submit his quarterly report to the Accountable Manager/Rector.
