CAA ORS9 Decision No. 40

SAFETY INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDED CONTENT FOR SAFETY ANALYSES

Safety information that stems from occurrence reports means a conclusive safety analysis that summarises individual occurrence data and provides an in-depth analysis of a safety issue, and that may be relevant for the CAA’s safety action planning. A conclusive safety analysis should contain the following:

  1. a detailed description of the safety issue, including the scenario in which the safety issue takes place; and

  2. an indication of the stakeholders that are affected by the safety issue, including types of operations and organisations;

and, as appropriate:

  1. a risk assessment that establishes the severity and probability of all the possible consequences of the safety issue;

  2. information about the existing safety barriers that the aviation system has in place to prevent the likely consequences of the safety issue from occurring;

  3. any mitigating action that is already in place or developed to deal with the safety issue;

  4. recommendations for future action to control the risk; and

  5. any other element that the CAA considers essential to properly assess the safety issue.
