PGD as the MDA

• MTA Guide requires Safety Officer to review every
  program at every milestone.
• This is not conducive to a minimum staffing
  philosophy.
• In keeping with the intent of the MTA Guide, the
  minimum acceptable resolution is to have an
  independent review by a safety professional prior
  to every milestone.

14
How Do We Get There?

• Leverage existing PDG assets to stand up
  Professional Development Team to define and train
  to what a safety professional should be.
• In the interim, ask the PGDs to work with 00T to
  develop individualized strategies to satisfy this
  requirement.

Remember The goal is to develop (2) per PGD.
15
Summary

• Seeking agreement for 00T philosophy.
• Seeking PGD assistance to resource teams.
• Agreement to assume the burden of independent
  safety reviews to meet the intent of MTA Guide
  when the PGD is the MDA.
