安全年报 | IATA 发布2022年安全年报— IATA 安全概述

Accident investigations have identified a poor Safety Culture as a factor that increases the probability and severity of accidents. Inversely, an effective organization Safety Culture is one, if not the most important, enabler for successful implementation of an effective Safety Management System (SMS), leading to improvements in safety performance and operational resilience. And Safety Leadership is critical to deliver this success - it ensures a clear focus on safety, despite competing pressures, and sets the tone for how safety issues are addressed in the entire organization.

To maintain visibility on this topic and ensure that safety is at the forefront of all decision-making, IATA has launched its Safety Talks, featuring industry leaders across geographies and cultures, who share their unique perspectives, highlighting the key role of Safety Leadership and Safety Culture in delivering a safer, more efficient and resilient business. As part of IATA’s Safety Leadership safety strategy pillar, the IATA Safety Leadership Charter was developed by the industry to encourage and support industry executives in evolving a positive Safety Culture within their organizations through practical actions.

Safety Culture cannot be implemented overnight. It is as an outcome of combined efforts, across the organization, that evolve over time. It is built on trust.

As with any evolution, it is critical to understand where the organizational Safety Culture stands, identify gaps, implement changes, and measure progress. The IATA Aviation Safety Culture survey (I-ASC) was developed to support aviation stakeholders in assessing and understanding their Safety Culture, using a standardized methodology and performance indicators. The electronic survey provides measurable, actionable and comparable results, based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods.

In 2022 IATA’s Global Safety Risk Management Framework (GSRMF) evolved significantly with in excess of 50 safety issues identified and published, accompanied by guidance material and best practice documentation. Generic Safety Risk Assessments have been developed for a number of safety issues to support the assessment of the issue within an airline’s own safety management system.

The GSRMF has contributed to IOSA’s transition to a risk-based approach by providing risk pictures to the auditor and airlines participating in the IOSA. These risk pictures include systemic, worldwide and regional safety issues that the operator may be exposed to within their sphere of operation.

Our members and the wider industry are encouraged to continue to collaborate with IATA on identifying safety issues and associated mitigations by contributing to the GSRMF using ‘Share an Issue’ .

IATA encourages airlines to share safety knowledge and experience so that they can more effectively identify and mitigate safety risks. In order to support these activities, IATA has developed the Safety Connect program which facilitates discussion and provides easy access to IATA’s experts, guidance materials, training courses, and regular updates on our regional and global safety activities.

Currently more than 760 safety professionals from more than 250 airlines around the world have enrolled in this program. Airline safety professionals are encouraged to register and join our community to keep connected and informed.
