9.1_SMSM_201904  Originally published April 2019  Uncontrolled copy when downloaded  Definitions and Acronyms  Section 9  Safety Promotion. The communication and distribution of information to improve the safety  culture and support the integration and continuous improvement of the SMS within ATO. Safety  Promotion allows ATO to share successes and lessons learned.  Safety Requirement. A planned or proposed means to reduce a hazard’s causes or effects.  Safety Requirement Approval. Certification that the safety requirements can and will be  implemented.  SRM Document. A documented safety analysis for a proposed NAS change or an existing  safety issue. It documents the evidence to support whether or not the proposed NAS change /  existing safety issue is mitigated to an acceptable level from a safety risk perspective. Safety Risk Management (SRM). SRM Document Approval. Indication that the SRM document was developed properly; that  hazards were systematically looked for and identified if applicable; and if a hazard was identified  or safety risk was negatively impacted, that: 1) risk was appropriately assigned, 2) valid safety  requirements were proposed, and an effective implementation and monitoring plan was  prepared. SRM document approval does not constitute acceptance of the risk associated with  the NAS change or approval to implement the NAS change.  SRM Panel. A diverse group of representatives, stakeholders, and subject matter experts from  the various organizations affected by the NAS change. They conduct an objective safety  analysis and provide findings and recommendations to decision-makers in an SRM document.  SRM Panel Co-Facilitator. A person who shares responsibilities with the SRM facilitator in  supporting the SRM panel. SRM Panel Facilitator. A trained expert on the SRM process who moderates the deliberations  of the SRM panel members from a neutral position. He or she captures the decisions of the  panel members, mediates any disagreements, documents any dissenting opinions, and remains  neutral throughout the process without advocating for a specific outcome. The  facilitator/co-facilitator (or his or her designee) may write the safety document describing the  safety findings of the SRM panel meeting. SRM Panel Member. An SRM panel member is a stakeholder who represents the program,  facility, organization, or constituency potentially affected by the safety risk and/or potential  safety requirements associated with the NAS change and/or identified existing safety risk. The  SRM panel members are selected at the discretion of the change proponent and/or panel  facilitator.  SRM Panel Observer. An SRM panel observer is someone attempting to gain a better  understanding of the SRM process, not the specific NAS change being assessed. An observer  is not an active member of the SRM panel meeting and does not provide input during the  deliberations. SRM panel observers are permitted at the discretion of the change proponent. 11 8  • ATO Definition. The processes and practices used to assess safety risk within the NAS, document NAS changes, and define strategies for monitoring the safety risk of the NAS. SRM complements Safety Assurance. • FAA Definition. A process within the SMS composed of describing the system; identifying the hazards; and analyzing, assessing, and controlling risk.
