State Safety Programme

This Implementation Package (iPack) is a self-contained product that will assist Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs) in the development and implementation of an effective State Safety Programme (SSP). It includes relevant documentation, tools, and an online course to facilitate each recipient’s safety and programmatic goals. A dedicated subject matter expert will also work with the CAA, providing guidance in their implementation efforts to achieve the objectives of the iPack.

GOAL

The goal of this iPack is to assist and guide States, Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs), and organizations responsible for coordinating the SSP, in implementing an SSP using a project-oriented approach with specific emphasis on Component 1- “State safety policy, objectives and resources” and Component 4 – “State safety promotion”. The iPack also addresses strategies for small States to achieve an effective SSP implementation.

OBJECTIVES

After having successfully deployed this iPack, States, CAAs, and organizations responsible for the coordination of the SSP will be better equipped to:

• establish SSP functions, safety policy and safety objectives;
• provide human and financial resources for an effective SSP;
• ensure organizational structure supports the SSP; and
• establish means to promote safety and foster a positive safety culture.
