GM1 CAMO.B.200(a)(5) Management system    

CAA ORS9 Decision No. 1

SAFETY RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS

The purpose of safety risk management as part of the management system framework for competent authorities is to ensure the effectiveness of the management system. As for any organisation, hazard identification and risk management is expected to contribute to effective decision-making, to guide the allocation of resources and contribute to organisational success.

The safety risk management process required by point CAMO.B.200 is intended to address the safety risks that are directly related to the CAA’s organisation and processes, and which may affect its capability to perform its tasks and discharge its responsibilities. This process is not intended to be a substitute for the State safety risk management SARPs defined in ICAO Annex 19, Chapter 3, component 3.3. This does not mean, however, that the CAA may not use information and data that is obtained through its State Safety Programme (SSP), including oversight data and information, for the purpose of safety risk management as part of its management system.

The safety risk management process is also to be applied to the management of changes (CAMO.B.210), which is intended to ensure that the management system remains effective whenever changes occur.
