GM1 ADR.OR.F.095 Management system manual ED Decision 2020/021/R MANAGEMENT SYSTEM MANUAL (a) Form of the manual The management system manual is a key document both for the organisation responsible for the provision of AMS and the Competent Authority. The manual should reflect accurately the day-to-day functioning of the organisation’s safety management system and safety culture. It will need to show how the organisation intends to measure its performance against the safety targets and objectives. The reader or the user of the manual should be given a clear statement of how safety is developed, managed and maintained in the organisation. All safety policies and instructions should be presented in detail and, when relevant, cross-referenced to other controlled, formally accepted or recognised publications. (b) Purpose of the manual The manual contains all the relevant information to describe the management system structure satisfactorily. It is one of the means by which all relevant operational staff can be informed about their duties and responsibilities with regard to safety. Accountability for safety must start at the very top of the organisation. One of the key elements in establishing safe working practices is the ‘top-down’ approach where all staff understand the safety objectives of the organisation, the chain of command and their own responsibilities and accountabilities within the organisation. As safety management principles are applied, the manual is expanded to describe clearly how the safety of operations is to be managed. The user of the manual should never be in any doubt in terms of ‘safety accountability’ for each domain or activity described. Each section should define who is accountable, who is responsible, who has the authority, who has the expertise, and who actually carries out the tasks described in any of the sections. The principal objective of the manual should be to show how management will fulfil its safety responsibilities. The manual will set out the policy and the expected standards of performance, and the procedures by which they will be achieved.
