, Safety policy
establishes management's commitment and responsibility, the accountabilities, the appointment
of key safety personnel, the coordination of emergency response planning, and SMS
documentation.
Lays the foundation on which SMS functions.
Risk Management
Has two elements: hazard identification % risk assessment/mitigation.
Hazards are conditions or objects with potential to cause harm, damage or reduce functionality

the speed of cognitive tasks.
This can be reduced by napping fewer than 20 minutes or 90 minutes.
yc
85 decibels
The threshold for safe hearing/noise exposure.
emergency locator transmitter (ELT)
