ED Decision 2017/007/R
COMPLEX ORGANISATIONS — SAFETY RISK MANAGEMENT — INTERFACES BETWEEN ORGANISATIONS
(a) Hazard identification and risk assessment start with an identification of all parties involved in the arrangement, including independent experts and non-approved organisations. It extends to the overall control structure, assessing, in particular, the following elements across all subcontract levels and all parties within such arrangements:
(1) coordination and interfaces between the different parties;
(2) applicable procedures;
(3) communication between all parties involved, including reporting and feedback channels;
(4) task allocation responsibilities and authorities; and
(5) qualifications and competency of key personnel.
(b) Safety risk management focuses on the following aspects:
(1) clear assignment of accountability and allocation of responsibilities;
(2) only one party is responsible for a specific aspect of the arrangement — no overlapping or conflicting responsibilities, in order to eliminate coordination errors;
(3) existence of clear reporting lines, both for occurrence reporting and progress reporting;
(4) possibility for staff to directly notify the operator of any hazard suggesting an obviously unacceptable safety risk as a result of the potential consequences of this hazard.
