Prepared in Support of Statement of Work Section C – Safety Assurance, Task 2:

Develop a personnel training and record keeping program that meets the requirements developed under the airport’s SMS Program. Part 139 prescribes requirements for personnel training and record keeping. However, an airport’s SMS training and record keeping requirements will far surpass those items currently required under Part 139. Under this task, the airport will develop record keeping processes with abilities to alert or query data for recurrent or refresher training or record keeping elements under the airport’s SMS; and develop a tracking system that can integrate into any of the airport’s rela ted tracking or training programs currently in

use.

## 1 Introduction As part of the FAA-sponsored Safety Manage ment System (SMS) follow-on pilot study conducted at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA or SeaTac) and as required under Safety Assurance, Task 2, the team presents the following requirements and recommendations for personnel training and record keeping designed to meet the airport’s SMS program needs. The reader will note that the scope of this document is broader than the training record keeping program required in the pilot study statement of work. The team determined that, in order to fully address a personnel training and record ke eping program, detailed consideration into the types, completion requirements, and audiences for all relevant and recommended SMS program training and orientation was necessary.
This document, therefore, represents a comprehensive approach to SMS training and orientation at SeaTac and includes an overview of relevant features and functionality of SeaTac’s Learning Management System (LMS), differences between employee and tenantfocused SMS learning offerings, and details for recommended SMS training/orientation, tracking, and reporting for both SeaTac employees and tenants.

The following assumptions have been made in the development of this document and in the training, orientation, and reporting recommendations:

1. Dedicated Safety Manager and Safety Specialist(s) resources will be allocated to develop and support SeaTac’s SMS. 2. The Safety Manager and the Airport Trai ning Office will develop (or be involved in/manage the development of training) and the Safety Manager will thereby be exempt from the training requirements. 3. The Safety Manager will have an SMS background and prior education in SMS. If not, specific in-depth SMS foundations training will be required. 4. The initial scope of SeaTac’s SMS will include the Movement Area, Non-Movement Area (Ramp) and Bagwell. The initial implementation and training as represented in this document do not include deployment of SMS to Terminal or Landside, but do reflect the possibility of extension into these areas in the future.



## 1.1 SeaTac Learning Management System The Port of Seattle implemented a new, enterprise-wide Learning Management System in September, 2008. The Port of Seattle has purchased licenses for each of its approximately 1500 employees and every employee at SeaTac has the ability to access LMS using specific credentials and is a licensed user of the system. Airport Operations is currently utilizing LMS to administer and track employee training required by CFR Part 139, National Incident Management System (NIMS), and for ID/Acce ss and badges. Using LMS, the Airport Operations Training Office can:

1. Assign required courses to individuals and groups (both manually and via an automated process). 2. Allow users to self-enroll in training courses (required and optional). 3. Track required-by dates, completion dates, and overdue training.

Safety Assurance 1SMS Training and Orientation

4. Deliver online training and automatically record course completion. 5. Notify personnel and supervisors of required training and completion deadlines. 6. Retain and display full learning history (or transcripts) for any employee on demand.

In the greater SEA community, there are roughl y 18,000 workers employed by airlines, fixed base operators (FBO), ground service providers (GSP) , concessionaires, etc. Due to the large number of airport workers and the high attrition rate among such workers, it is not feasible (either now or in the future) for the Port of Seattle to purchase named user licenses, database storage, or additional server/bandwidth capacity for airport worker (tenant) training to be tracked directly within the Learning Management System . Tracking and reporting on SMS training and orientation at SEA, therefore, will be divided into 2 discrete categories:

1. Employee Training 2. Tenant Orientation

Employee training will leverage the full functionality and capabilities of the Learning Management System, including the development, int egration, and delivery of online courses. These courses will be available directly within LMS and will be delivered through the LMS webbased user interface.

Because of the licensing constraints described above, tenant orientation will be managed and reported upon outside of the LMS and will be provided through computer-based training (CBT), installed and delivered on dedicated workstations housed in the Airport Training Office. Tenant reporting will leverage and extend an existing solution that was deployed in March, 2009 that joins data from the SeaTac training database, delivered by American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) with the ID/Access securi ty application to produce reports enabling the Airport Operations Training Office to track and schedule required retraining courses for active badge holders at SeaTac.

It is important to note SeaTac’s differentiation between SMS employee training and tenant orientation. SeaTac Airport Operations is heav ily invested both in SMS and in the professional and personal growth of its employees and is committed to providing in-depth training that will enhance the Safety Management System implementat ion as well as increase the safety of its employees and operations. While SeaTac is committed to providing detailed information and education on the airport SMS program to its tenants, the focus will be to orient airport workers on their interaction with the airport SMS and on SeaTac’s expectations for their participation and contributions towards SEA’s safety culture. SeaTac fully expects that its tenants will provide detailed and specific job safety and internal safety program/SMS training to their respective employees.

## 2 SeaTac Employee SMS Training

2.1 Safety Management System Training Courses The following employee training courses will be created within LMS in support of the SMS program. Appendix C details required configuration parameters to add and maintain the courses within LMS. For implementation, it will be necessary to weigh the impact of training to production for each audience and to plan and schedule training sessions accordingly.
Please note that it is assumed that the Safety Manager will be developing and delivering the training courses (in conjunction with the Airpor t Operations Training Office), is presumed exempt from any initial and recurrent training requirements and is therefore not included in the audiences listed below.

## 2.2 Employee SMS Training Tracking and Reporting

2.2.1 Learning Management System Administration The Safety Manager will be provided with admin istrator access to the Learning Management System through the LMS Administrator role. Th is set of security permissions will allow the Safety Manager to perform the following functions within LMS:

• Run reports (see Section 2.2.4)

• Schedule SMS course offerings

• Record course completions (see Section 2.2.3)

• Create curriculum (see Section 2.2.2)

• Automatically assign courses and curricula to SeaTac employees

The Safety Specialist will also be provided with administrator access to LMS and will be granted the Registrar role. This set of security permissions will allow the Safety Specialist to perform the following functions within LMS:

• Run reports (see Section 2.2.4)

• Schedule SMS course offerings

• Record course completions (see Section 2.2.3)



### 2.2.2 Curricula LMS provides the ability to establish and manage learning requirements using a curriculum. A curriculum is a grouping of one or more courses for the purpose of assigning and tracking as a single entity. Curricula provide the ability to quickly and easily assign refresher and recurring training, track required course completion, and monitor completion dates and overdue training for large groups of people. Assigning and tracking at the curriculum level (rather than at the course level) will reduce the level of effort necessary to configure, maintain, and administer SMS courses within the Learning Management Syst em, thereby minimizing the administrative burden to the Safety Manager to the largest extent possible.

In order to fulfill the SMS training requirements, all courses included within a curriculum must be completed by the required date. If a single course is not completed, the curriculum for an individual employee will remain incomplete and will appear overdue on reports and automated notifications. The following curricula will be configured within LMS for the purposes of tracking and reporting on employee SMS training:

Safety Assurance 9SMS Training and Orientation



### 2.2.3 Recording Completion of in-person training courses will be re corded by the instructor (assumed to primarily be the Safety Manager). For courses in which the instructor is a consultant, is not the Safety Manager, or does not otherwise have administrat ive access to LMS, the course completion status will be recorded manually on a print ed roster, provided to the Safety Manager, and recorded in LMS by the Safety Manager or Safety Specialist.

Online training will be configured within LMS to automatically record completion status. Each online course will include an assessment (quiz). Automatic course completion status updates will be predicated upon an 80% score on the assessment.


### 2.2.4 Reporting The Safety Manager and Safety Specialist will have permissions to run reports for employee SMS training completion within LMS. The following LMS reports will be utilized to track employee training completion:

Report Title Information Provided

Curriculum Status Displays the status of one or more curricula (completed, not completed or both. For incomplete curriculum, the report provides the number of days remaining until required completion.

The report can be filtered to produce data based on completion status, individual employee, or for one or more specific curricula (or a combination thereof). Curriculum Item Status Displays the status (completed, not completed) of specific courses within a curriculum and the required date and completion date for each course.

The report can be filtered to produce data for one or more specific curriculum. Item Status Displays the status, and comp letion date for s pecific courses.

The report can be filtered to produce data for specific courses, employees, or completion status (or a combination thereof). Learning History The learning history report is a transcript of an employee’s full training history. The learning history will provide the course, comple tion date, status, grade (if applicable) for both SMS and non-SMS courses. Table 6 - SMS Personnel Training Tracking Reports

Safety Assurance 10SMS Training and Orientation

At a minimum, the Safety Manager will run the Curriculum Status and the Curriculum Item Status reports quarterly to determine if any SMS initial or recurring training requirements are incomplete. In addition to reports, the Safety Manager will receive automated notifications for complete and incomplete curriculum for individual employees, based upon required completion dates.

Figure 1 - Sample Curriculum Status Report

Figure 2 - Sample Curriculum Item Status Report

Safety Assurance 11SMS Training and Orientation

In addition to reports generated by the Safety Manager, the LMS user interface will inform employees directly if they have overdue training requirements. Email notifications will also be configured to notify individual employees when:

• Training is assigned.

• Training is scheduled.

• Training is overdue.
Similar notifications will also be configur ed for the individual’s supervisor/manager. The supervisor/manager will additionally have the ability to view all assigned, scheduled, completed, and overdue training for his or her direct reports.

## 3 SeaTac Airport Tenant SMS Orientation
3.1 Safety Management System Orientation Course For the initial SMS deployment, applicants for Airport Operations Area (AOA) and/or Airport Movement Area (AMA) badges will be required to take the SMS Orientation course. At SeaTac, AMA training has a required 1 year recurrence and AOA training has a required 2 year recurrence. For ease of reporting and tracking, the SMS Orientation course will adopt the same 2 year recurrence requirement as AOA training. The course will be offered as a CBT module and built into the existing AOA CBT which has been developed and delivered by AAAE. For the initial implementation, the projected number of annual trainees is approximately 4,500.

Upon expansion of SMS into Landside and Terminal, the SMS Orientation course will be required for all SIDA badge holders, will be offered alongside SIDA training, and will continue to have a 2 year recurrence requirement (mirroring t he existing requirement for SIDA). At SeaTac, the SIDA population has historically experienced the most difficulty in passing required assessments and, in general, takes the longest amount of time to complete training successfully. This is due, in part, to a high percentage of SIDA applicants for whom English is a second language and who have a relatively lower educational level than other populations. Upon the extension of the SMS Orientation course to the entire SIDA population, SeaTac will examine the possibility of creating a second, SIDA-specific module more tailored to the specific educational needs of this demographic. Upon extension of SMS to this population, the projected number of annual trainees is approximately 15,000.

For implementation, it will be necessary to consider production and staffing impacts to the Airport Training Office. Currently, the Airport Training Office is open 40 hours per week, is staffed with 1.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff, and is operating at 90% capacity. With the additional training hours required for the SMS Orientation course, it may be necessary to extend operating hours and may also be necessary to allocate additional FTE.

Safety Assurance 15 

## 3.2 Tenant SMS Orientation Tracking and Reporting Reporting for tenant SMS Orientation will require an extension of a custom reporting solution that was implemented to track recurrent requirements for tenant badge-related training. Badge, course completion, course recurrence, new reporting and user interface requirements for tenant SMS Orientation will need to considered for expansion of the existing reporting and ID Badge system in order to ensure that tenant completion is adequately tracked. Please note that if there is a delay between the SMS Orientation course readiness and the readiness of an extended custom reporting solution, the SMS Orientation course may be delivered to SeaTac tenants in advance and completion assumed based upon AOA completion status.

As with employee SMS training, the Safety Man ager and Safety Specialist will have the ability to produce reports for tenant SMS Orientation. The following are existing reports that, at a minimum, will be utilized to track SMS Orientation upon implementation:

Report Title Information Provided Recurrent Training Status Report Displays recurrent training history for active ID/badge holders including company, employee name, job title, badge number/type, badge expiration data, training type, training history, and retraining due date (based upon training type).

The report can be filtered to produce data based on company, badge type, retraining due date, and prior training dates. Student Training Transcript Displays training transcript report for ID/badge holders including employee name, company, course(s) information, completion status, completion date,

The report can be filtered to produce data based on employee number and training date range.
