Outline

• The challenge
• Whats needed
• A glimpse of the future
• Some concluding thoughts

3
The Challenge

• Limitations of traditional regulatory programs
• Limitations of applied System Safety
• Measuring safety performance
• The plight of the regulator
• Constraints of methodology
• Increased expectations/constrained resources

and lets imagine a different world
7
A world where

• Performance-based, risk-based regulatory
  oversight of the system
• Operator demonstrates they are pro-actively
  managing hazards
• Blend of prescribed and performance-based
  standards customized to the operators
  organization and operation

8
A world where

• Human organizational factors are understood and
  managed as well as we manage technical
  operational issues
• Decisions regarding operational risk management
  are fully integrated with financial corporate
  risk management its the way business is done

9
A world where

• The regulator regularly revises and realigns its
  regulatory plan to deliver sustainable oversight
  
• The regulator provides useful feedback on the
  operators safety performance, and the info is
  valuable, and valued(!) (My regulatee LIKES
  me!!)
• The safety culture is (positively) driven by the
  regulatory framework

• Are you still with me ?

SOMS Described (1)

• Definition
• a comprehensive management system that is being
  implemented by the Bermuda Department of Civil
  Aviation to systematically and effectively manage
  the oversight of the aviation industry

12
SOMS Described (2)

• Goal
• To optimally manage the oversight of the
  industrys reduction of aviation safety-risks to
  a level as low as reasonably practicable

13
SOMS Described (3)

• SOMS employs a proactive, systems approach to
  manage the regulatory mandate. It involves
• planning and conducting oversight
• measuring the results of the associated
  activities

14
SOMS Described (4)

• Some Key Features
• Commensurate with size/complexity
• Proactive risk-based
• Performance-based (i.e., measurable)
• Integrates management systems
