SI No. 588/2023

(a) The organisation must establish, implement and maintain a management system that includes:

1. clearly defined accountability and lines of responsibility throughout the organisation, including a direct safety accountability of the accountable manager;

2. a description of the overall philosophies and principles of the organisation with regard to safety (“the safety policy”), and the related safety objectives;

3. the identification of aviation safety hazards entailed by the activities of the organisation, their evaluation and the management of the associated risks, including taking actions to mitigate the risks and verify their effectiveness;

4. maintaining personnel trained and competent to perform their tasks;

5. documentation of all management system key processes, including a process for making personnel aware of their responsibilities and the procedure for amending that documentation;

6. a function to monitor the compliance of the organisation with the relevant requirements. Compliance monitoring must include a system for feedback of findings to the accountable manager to ensure the effective implementation of corrective actions as necessary.

(b) The management system must correspond to the size of the organisation and the nature and complexity of its activities, taking into account the hazards and the associated risks inherent in those activities.
