Who can perform Safety Manager Duties?
If the same person is designated to manage both the compliance monitoring function and safety management-related processes and tasks, the accountable manager, with regard to his or her direct accountability for safety, should ensure that sufficient resources are allocated to both functions, taking into account the size of the organisation, and the nature and complexity of its activities.
Subject to a risk assessment and agreement by the competent authority, with due regard to the size of the organisation and the nature and complexity of its activities, the compliance monitoring manager role and/or safety manager role may be exercised by the accountable manager, provided that he or she has demonstrated the related competency.
What is Safety Training?
Safety training refers to dedicated training to support safety management policies and processes, including human factors training.
Note: the main purpose of the safety training programme is to ensure that personnel at all levels of the organisation maintain their competency to fulfil their safety roles.
Safety training should, in particular, consider the safety knowledge derived from hazard identification and risk management processes, and support the fostering of a positive safety culture.
Note: safety management training means specific training for the staff involved in safety management functions in accordance with point 145.A.30(ca) or 145.A.200(a)(3).
