,SMA4803 SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
ASSIGNMENT 4
, Question 1: Documentation Required for the Evaluation of a Safety Management
System
The evaluation of a Safety Management System (SMS) constitutes a diagnostic process
through which an auditor or safety professional determines whether an organisation has
established and maintains robust, closed-loop processes for the management of safety
risk across the system life cycle (Bahr, 2014:60). Documentation serves as the primary
form of verifiable evidence of an organisation’s commitment to system safety.
Consequently, the evaluator examines records that collectively demonstrate the integrity
of the four foundational pillars of an effective SMS: Safety Governance, Safety
Organisation, the System Safety Program, and Safety Culture (Bahr, 2014:78).
The principal categories of documentation that must be scrutinised are outlined below.
1. System Safety Program Plan (SSPP) or SMS Manual
This document constitutes the cornerstone of the SMS. It articulates the overall structure
of the system, defines safety governance policies, allocates administrative decision rights,
specifies operational requirements, sets out hazard-resolution methodologies, and
establishes life-cycle review protocols (Bahr, 2014:97).
2. Safety Governance and Policy Administration Records
These include signed statements of executive commitment, corporate safety policies, the
expression of safety as a core organisational value within the strategic plan, and formal
definitions of management responsibilities, accountabilities and signature authorities
(Bahr, 2014:80; Goetsch, 2010:18).
3. Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Registers
Evaluators require access to Preliminary Hazard Lists (PHLs), System and Subsystem
Hazard Analyses (SHA/SSHA), Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study reports, Failure
Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) worksheets, and closed-loop Risk Registers that
record severity, probability and residual-risk indices (Bahr, 2014:105).
