GM1 ATCO.OR.C.001(b) Management system of training organisations ED Decision 2023/011/R SAFETY POLICY (a)       The safety policy is the means whereby a training organisation states its intention to maintain and, where practicable, improve safety levels in all its activities and to minimise its contribution to the risk of an aircraft accident or serious incident as far as is reasonably practicable. It reflects the management’s commitment to safety, and should reflect the organisation’s philosophy as regards safety management, as well as become the foundation on which the organisation’s management system is built. It serves as a reminder of ‘how we do business here’. The establishment of a positive safety culture begins with the issuance of a clear, unequivocal direction. (b)       The commitment to apply just culture principles forms the basis for the organisation’s internal rules describing how just culture principles are guaranteed and implemented, after consulting its staff representatives, as required by Article 16(11) of Regulation (EU) No 376/2014. (c)       The safety policy should state that the purpose of safety reporting is to improve safety, not to apportion blame to individuals. *[applicable from 4 August 2024 - ED Decision 2023/011/R]*
