Singapore’s approach in

SSP implementation

DRAFT

Singapore started developing its SSP in 2008. We

formally launched our SSP in 2017.

Singapore’s safety management journey

DRAFT

Singapore’s SSP was built on the ICAO SSP framework.

Safety Policy, Objectives & Resources

Safety Risk Management

Safety Assurance State Safety

Promotion

•Establishment of a State

Safety Policy statement

•Establishment of

National Aviation Safety

Committee as the

coordinating body for SSP

implementation

•Determination of State-

level safety risks through

horizon scanning,

benchmarking and

monitoring of State

safety performance

•Establishment and

monitoring of State-level

SSP Safety Performance

Indicators

• Analysis of safety data,

comprising mandatory

occurrence reports,

information from

voluntary reporting

system, surveillance

data, to identify hazards

and risk areas

• Prioritisation of

surveillance activities to

target areas of greater

safety concerns

• Promote a strong

safety culture through

institutionalization of

regular safety forums

and publications, and

initiatives such as

development of a

safety culture toolkit for

the airside community

• We reviewed our progress in safety management based on ICAO tools• Eg: Gap analysis, SSP foundation PQs

• Key areas of enhancements were identified and implemented

DRAFT

19

We reviewed our progress in safety management based on ICAO tools to assist in SSP implementation

• SSP Foundation Protocol Questions (sub-set of USOAP

PQs) allow States to prioritise areas to build a strong

safety oversight foundation for SSP implementation

• Complements the status SSP Foundation PQs in

identifying key elements to be addressed to implement

SSP

• Provides an initial indication of the broad scope of gaps

and overall workload to be expected

DRAFT

14

The safety policy statement encapsulates our safety

management philosophy and commitment towards safety

DRAFT

14

We established a national safety committee to coordinate

the implementation of SSP at the State level

National Aviation Safety Committee (NASC)

Composition:• Director-General

• Deputy Director-General

• Directors from CAAS’ Safety

Regulation Group and Legal Division

• Director (Transport Safety

Investigation Bureau)

Terms of Reference:• To develop and implement a SSP for Singapore in accordance with ICAO

requirements;

• To coordinate SSP activities among relevant authorities in Singapore;

• To review the Acceptable Level of Safety under the SSP; and

• To review SSP policies and practices.

• A separate committee internal to CAAS, chaired by DDG

• Drives the SSP implementation plan and reports to the NASC

SSP Working Committee (SWC)

DRAFT

14

We determined the State-level risks in our aviation

environment to prioritise our mitigation effort

• Runway excursion

• Runway incursion

• Mid-air collision

• Loss of control inflight

• Ground handling

• Systems component failure

Considerations:

• Aircraft operators are exposed to safety risks of the region

• Major infrastructure development at Changi aerodrome

Considerations:

• Trend of runway incursions observed

• Various types of ground handling occurrences observed

• High frequency of wildlife sightings and strike reports

We established SSP Safety Performance Indicators

to track and monitor our safety performance

Stakeholder Collaboration and Engagement• Regular industry engagement and dialogue with service providers

• Joint Committee on Airside Safety established for a collaborative approach to

identify and mitigate safety risks and hazards

• Development of a safety culture toolkit for the airside community

Safety Publications• Dissemination of Safety Information Bulletin to air operators

• The Leading Edge publication

Training• Provision of training to industry and foreign counterparts through the

Singapore Aviation Academy

Section III

Key Takeaways

DRAFT

Key lesson #1 – SSP is a collaborative effort and

requires all stakeholders to come on board

18

• SSP implementation has benefitted Singapore by

integrating safety management activities and looking at

safety management at the State level

• Enables and facilitates better safety management

implementation among key State stakeholders and

across the industry

DRAFT

Key lesson #2 – Every State’s SSP should be tailored

according to the scale and complexity of their aviation

environment

• Understand your State’s aviation environment and

develop a SSP that would work for your State

• Singapore has tailored the Singapore SSP for our

aviation environment

– Eg: DG(CAAS) as the Accountable Executive, agreement with

industry organisations on respective SPIs and SPTs

19

DRAFT

Key lesson #3 – SSP implementation is a

continuous process

• SSP implementation is a continuous process as the

risks evolve with the changes in operating environment

• Recognising so, Singapore has identified areas to

further strengthen our SSP. Key areas include:– Enhance our safety risk management capabilities

– Implement risk-based methodologies in safety oversight

– Strengthen safety culture
