SAFETY

The term SAFETY refers to operational safety. While the complete elimination of accidents and serious incidents remains the ultimate goal, it is clear that 100% safety cannot be achieved. Aviation is a system that cannot be completely free of hazards and associated risks. It cannot be guaranteed that human activity and/or man-made systems will be free of operational errors and their consequences. Operational safety is therefore a dynamic characteristic of the civil aviation system, within which safety risks must be continuously mitigated. However, it is important to note that the acceptability of operational safety performance is often influenced by domestic and international standards and culture.

Operational safety is a state in which the risk of injury or death to persons or damage or destruction of property is eliminated and maintained at an acceptable level or below that level through a continuous process of identifying operational hazards and the risks arising from them and managing them.

SAFETY, or operational safety, can be thought of as a set of measures designed to minimise the occurrence of human error. Human error can be caused by unintentional actions due to ignorance (the most common case), neglect of work duties, or missing, incomplete or poorly set operating procedures, technical failure or force majeure.

Airport operations are complex, consisting of a range of activities and expertise. Ensuring operational safety at an acceptable level in such a complex environment cannot be achieved by one person alone. This requires a system – a Safety Management System.

The Safety Management System is a system for managing safety at an airport, including the organisational structure, defined responsibilities, procedures, processes and measures for implementing the airport operator’s safety policy, which enables the control of safety at the airport and its safe use.

Safety reporting is one of the sources of the Safety Management System for obtaining information from operations about identified non-conformities, errors, defects, etc. The purpose is not to punish the person responsible, but to enable timely measures to be taken to prevent the recurrence of the phenomenon.
