Project SS 15/04 - Safety management systems - Part 5 of CASR
Current Safety Management System (SMS) legislation differs between types of organisations. SMS legislation needs to be consistent and in line with ICAO Annex 19 requirements, with any additional elements considered necessary in the interest of the safety of aviation. At present CASA has no standardised SMS framework, therefore amendments to the regulations in the form of a new Part 5 of CASR will provide SMS components and elements that are in-line with Annex 19. Differences cause confusion, not only for the wider aviation community within Australia but also the CASA inspectorate.
Continuing to have non-standardised SMS legislation/guidance material has the potential to cause operators to have difficulties in complying with the rules, leading to non-compliance and ultimately improper or ineffective use of SMS.
To provide a standard format for SMS components and elements through a new Part 5 of CASR, along with a new Advisory Circular. This will be achieved in 3 phases:
Phase 1 - publish common SMS guidance material and appendices that address any SMS differences between different organisations
Phase 2 – in conjunction with the CASR Part 139 post-implementation review, introduce the SMS requirements for certain Part 139 authorisation holders into Part 5 of CASR
Phase 3 – proceed with the removal of SMS provisions from other existing legislation (e.g. for AOC holders, AMOs etc.) and replace with provisions in Part 5 of CASR.
SMS legislation is contained within:
Part 139 of CASR and the Part 139 MOS
Part 142 of CASR
Part 171 of CASR and the Part 171 MOS
Part 172 of CASR and the Part 172 MOS
Part 173 of CASR and the Part 173 MOS
Part 175 of CASR.
Some of these pieces of legislation are not in line with the ICAO standards for SMS and lack the required elements necessary to comply fully with these standards.
The following documents will also need to be reviewed:
CAAP SMS-1(0)
CAAP SMS-2(0)
CAAP SMS-3(1)
CAAP SMS-4(0)
Part 145 AMC/GM
AC 171-3(0)
AC 172-1(0).
