AMC1 CAMO.A.202 Internal safety reporting scheme ED Decision 2020/002/R GENERAL (a) Each internal safety reporting scheme should be confidential and enable and encourage free and frank reporting of any potentially safety-related occurrence, including incidents such as errors or near misses, safety issues and hazards identified. This will be facilitated by the establishment of a just culture. (b) The internal safety reporting scheme should contain the following elements: (1) clearly identified aims and objectives with demonstrable corporate commitment; (2) a just culture policy as part of the safety policy, and related just culture implementation procedures; (3) a process to: (i) identify those reports which require further investigation; and (ii) when so identified, investigate all the causal and contributing factors, including any technical, organisational, managerial, or HF issues, and any other contributing factors related to the occurrence, incident, error or near miss that was identified; (iii) if adapted to the size and complexity of the organisation, analyse the collective data showing the trends and frequencies of the contributing factor; (4) appropriate corrective actions based on the findings of investigations; (5) initial and recurrent training for staff involved in internal investigations; (6) where relevant, the organisation should cooperate with the owner or operator on occurrence investigations by exchanging relevant information to improve aviation safety. (c) The internal safety reporting scheme should: (1) ensure confidentiality to the reporter; (2) be closed-loop, to ensure that actions are taken internally to address any safety issues and hazards; and (3) feed into the recurrent training as defined in [AMC2 CAMO.A.305(g)](#_DxCrossRefBm1518546167) whilst maintaining appropriate confidentiality. (d) Feedback should be given to staff both on an individual and a more general basis to ensure their continued support of the safety reporting scheme. ##### AMC1 CAMO.A.202 Internal safety reporting scheme *ED Decision 2020/002/R* **GENERAL** (a) Each internal safety reporting scheme should be confidential and enable and encourage free and frank reporting of any potentially safety-related occurrence, including incidents such as errors or near misses, safety issues and hazards identified.
