ED Decision 2021/009/R
ORGANISATION AND ACCOUNTABILITIES
(a) The management system should encompass safety by including a safety manager, and a safety review board in the organisational structure. The functions of the safety manager are those defined in AMC1 CAMO.A.305(a)(4);(a)(5).
(b) Safety review board
(1) The safety review board should be a high-level committee that considers matters of strategic safety in support of the accountable manager’s safety accountability.
(2) The board should be chaired by the accountable manager and composed of the person or group of persons nominated under point CAMO.A.305(a) and (b).
(3) The safety review board should monitor:
(i) safety performance against the safety policy and objectives;
(ii) that any safety action is taken in a timely manner; and
(iii) the effectiveness of the organisation’s management system processes.
(4) The safety review board may also be tasked with:
(i) reviewing the results of compliance monitoring;
(ii) monitoring the implementation of related corrective and preventive actions.
(c) The safety review board should ensure that appropriate resources are allocated to achieve the established safety objectives.
(d) The safety manager or another person designated by the safety manager may attend, as appropriate, safety review board meetings. He or she may communicate to the accountable manager all information, as necessary, to allow decision-making based on safety data.
(e) Notwithstanding point (a), where justified by the size of the organisation and the nature and complexity of its activities and subject to a risk assessment and agreement by the competent authority, the organisation may not need to establish a formal safety review board. In this case, the tasks normally allocated to the safety review board should be allocated to the safety manager.
