The KISApproach
STEP – BY – STEP PROCESS IN BOOSTING YOUR SAFETY
GAP ANALYSIS
ICAO ADAPTED SURVEY
Covering 7 key areas in each department’s activities, the survey reflects empirical data to highlight trends in current safety status
DOCUMENTATION REVIEW
Review of key safety documentation, manuals and related processes in comparison to international safety and aviation best practices and concepts
KEY PERSONNEL INTERVIEWS
Individual conversations with personnel to gain insight and context on their approach to safety and together forge a strategy to move forward in
THE WAY FORWARD
Aviation Safety
Our standards and best practices model is based on the outcome of research conducted in the aviation industry worldwide and formulated by international regulatory bodies such as ICAO and Eurocontrol. Their recommendations are adapted to suit your organisation’s activities and its oft singular safety demands.
Techincal Era – Human Factor Era – Organisational Era – Total System Era
Global Safety
Aviation’s “Total Safety” concepts and it’s methodologies have all been developed by and inherited from the leading Safety Professionals of our time.
KIS goes straight to the source, from MIT Prof. Nancy Leveson to Prof. and First Officer Sydney Dekker, to obtain and update a complete library that modern aviation implements globally.
BOOST YOUR SAFETY
POLICY
&
OBJECTIVES
-Define policies to reduce goal conflict
– Create a safety culture slogan/motto
– Displayable Safety Performance Monitoring data sheets
– Policy that reflects international standards and best practices
– Replace disciplinary policy of “Non-reprisal” to “Just Culture”
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
AND RISK MITIGATION
– Implement concept of “Safety Differently” to include all employees in addition to flight crew.
– Introduce ICAO method of “SHELL” model for improved hazard identification
– Proper use of the Risk Matrix and how to use it to make safety decisions
– Create a diligent timeframe to address reports and define the role of managers and the Flight Safety Officer in this process
SAFETY
ASSURANCE
– Develop audits towards a proactive approach through “Safety II” concepts such as “Work-as-Imagined vs Work-as-Done” theory as well as “Procedural Drift” theory: understand why employees deviate from rules and processes
– Evaluate flight crew through implementing Line Orientated Safety Audits (LOSA) to target current and future hazards
SAFETY
PROMOTION
Improved communication:
– ICAO adapted employee surveys to evaluate the Safety Culture
Communication tools:
– Newsletters and Feedback
Equipping Staff:
– Coaching upper management in safety
