What are the six components that make up the performance monitoring and measurement process according to GM1 ADR.OR.F.045(b)(5)?

The six components are: (1) safety reporting, (2) safety studies, (3) safety reviews, (4) safety audits, (5) safety surveys, and (6) internal safety investigations of occurrences.

What generic aspects or areas may be considered when monitoring and measuring performance?

The generic aspects/areas include: (1) accountability for the management of operational activities, (2) authority to direct, control or change procedures and make key decisions, (3) procedures for operational activities, (4) controls, (5) interfaces, and (6) process measures to provide feedback.

Q: In the context of performance monitoring, what is the difference between a safety study and a safety review?

A safety study is a rather large analysis encompassing broad safety concerns, while a safety review includes trends reviews conducted during the introduction and deployment of new technologies, change or implementation of procedures, or in situations of structural changes in operations, or to explore the increase in incidents or safety reports.

Q: What is the primary focus of safety audits in the performance monitoring process?

Safety audits focus on the integrity of the organisation's management system and periodically assess the status of safety risk controls.

Q: Which performance monitoring component is used to examine particular elements or procedures of a specific operation, such as problem areas or bottlenecks in daily operations?

Safety surveys examine particular elements or procedures of a specific operation, such as problem areas or bottlenecks in daily operations, perception and opinions of operational personnel, and areas of dissent or confusion.

Q: Under the generic aspects, what does 'authority' refer to in the context of performance monitoring?

Authority refers to the authority to direct, control or change the procedures, as well as to make key decisions such as safety risk acceptance decisions.

Q: What is included in the 'controls' aspect of performance monitoring?

Controls include hardware, software, special procedures or procedural steps, and supervisory practices designed to keep operational activities on track.

Q: What does the 'interfaces' aspect cover in performance monitoring?

Interfaces cover lines of authority between departments, lines of communication between employees, consistency of procedures, and clear delineation of responsibility between organisations, work units, and employees.

Q: What is the purpose of 'process measures' in the performance monitoring framework?

Process measures provide feedback to parties in charge that required actions are taking place, required outputs are being produced, and expected outcomes are being achieved.

Q: When are safety reviews, including trends reviews, typically conducted?

Safety reviews are conducted during the introduction and deployment of new technologies, change or implementation of procedures, or in situations of structural changes in operations, or to explore the increase in incidents or safety reports.

SAFETY PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND MEASUREMENT

(a) The performance monitoring and measurement process includes:

(1) safety reporting, addressing also the status of the organisation’s compliance with the applicable requirements;

(2) safety studies which are rather large analyses encompassing broad safety concerns;

(3) safety reviews, including trends reviews which are conducted during the introduction and deployment of new technologies, change or implementation of procedures, or in situations of structural changes in operations, or to explore the increase in incidents or safety reports;

(4) safety audits which focus on the integrity of the organisation’s management system, and periodically assess the status of safety risk controls;

(5) safety surveys which examine particular elements or procedures of a specific operation, such as problem areas or bottlenecks in daily operations, perception and opinions of operational personnel, and areas of dissent or confusion; and

(6) internal safety investigations of occurrences.

(b) The following generic aspects/areas may be considered:

(1) accountability for the management of the operational activities and their ultimate accomplishment;

(2) authority to direct, control or change the procedures, as well as to make key decisions such as safety risk acceptance decisions;

(3) procedures for operational activities;

(4) controls, including hardware, software, special procedures or procedural steps, and supervisory practices designed to keep operational activities on track;

(5) interfaces, including lines of authority between departments, lines of communication between employees, consistency of procedures, and clear delineation of responsibility between organisations, work units, and employees; and

(6) process measures to provide feedback to parties in charge that required actions are taking place, required outputs are being produced, and expected outcomes are being achieved.
