Programme (ESP) for ATM in February
2006 was a major milestone in
the continuing effort to improve the
maturity of safety systems across the
European Civil Aviation Conference
(ECAC) area. Now, with the first phase
of the ESP completed in December
2009, a follow-up programme, ESP
Plus, was launched in January 2010 to
keep up the momentum in the run up
to the Single European Sky (SES).
The ESP has seen the successful
implementation of many projects,
including the development of EUROCONTROL
Safety Regulatory Requirements
(ESARRs), one of which,
ESARR 3, requires all air traffic services
providers to implement safety
management systems (SMSs) within
their respective organisations. This
has become one of the main components
of the ongoing programme to
improve the safety of the European
ATM system.
Today, according to ESP programme
manager, Tony Licu, only nine out
of the 44 air navigation service
providers (ANSPs) within the ECAC
area have yet to reach the 70%
level of SMS implementation that
ESARR 3 mandated. Licu sees this
level of progress as acceptable: “I am
satisfied with where we are now with
SMS. There is much more awareness
about what SMS means and the need
for it.”
Aviation journalist Julian Moxon asks Tony Licu, Head of Safety and
Human Factor Activity Manager, whether the EUROCONTROL Agency’s
safety management system will be fit for the future Single European Sky?
One of the principal aims of the ESP
was the creation of a ‘just culture’ incident
reporting environment. This is
an area that was always going to be
challenging. However, under the ESP,
open reporting cultures have been
developed within ANSPs, even though
the concept remains one that many
service providers and legislators have
found difficult to interpret within their
respective national judicial systems.
Adoptin g the ri ght
mentality
The new ESP Plus programme places
the achievement of a safety culture
throughout the ECAC area at the
centre of its list of activities. However,
EUROCONTROL Director General,
David McMillan, insists that although
implementing SMS throughout the
ATM community remains a vital element
of the safety story, it will not
solely be enough to provide adequate
safety in the future SES environment.
“We need to adopt the right mentality,”
he said at the EUROCONTOL Safety Culture
Conference in Rome, in December
2008. “An enlightened common sense
approach that goes beyond a checklist
of rules to be adhered to. We have to
have organisations where safety permeates
through to the bone and beyond.
In other words, we need a culture
of safety that incites each and every one
of our colleagues to put safety right at
the top of their agendas – always.”
The Rome conference saw the launch
of the joint EUROCONTROL/Federal
Aviation Administration White Paper
entitled “Safety Culture in Air Traffic
Management“. This document de-

scribes the approach that will have to
be taken if safety is to be increased to
the level required for the next generation
of ATM. It reveals that, whereas
implementing SMS will achieve a
three-fold improvement in safety by
2020, the addition of a proper safety
culture could increase this to a tenfold
improvement by 2030. Licu is in
total agreement: “Bringing in a safety
culture is essential to bridging the gap
to the safety levels required for the
SES. We can’t do it with regulation and
compliance alone; we have to solve
the cultural problems as well.”
But what, exactly, is meant by the
term ‘safety culture’? The White Paper
draws on a description taken from the
nuclear industry, which describes it as,
“The product of individual and group
values, attitudes, competencies and
patterns of behaviour that determine
commitment to, and the style and proficiency
of, an organisation’s health
and safety management.”
In less formal terms, a positive safety
culture is one in which staff members
know their roles with respect to safety
and understand that the organisation
is committed to it – to the extent that
it is always at the top of the agenda.
Safety is discussed frequently at all
levels and can be raised by any staff
without fear of recrimination or even
of losing face amongst their peers.
