Introduction
Related to SMS Quality Assurance has 2 distinct roles:
a) To independently assess that the SMS is fully compliant with all external regulatory compliances as well as internal organisational compliances.
b) To serve as a valuable source of data for the Safety Management System (SMS)
The ability of the organisation to develop and benefit from the integration of DATA is an indicator of the overall effectiveness of the SMS
About Quality Assurance (QA)
QA concerns the independent verification of compliance with external regulatory requirements and internal organisational requirements driven by process and procedures.
It is not in itself proactive (it does not imagine what can go wrong) simply the focus is on compliance. If compliance in some way fails then a discrepancy or corrective action must be raised to address the shortfall or finding.
QA is the prerogative of the Quality Manager although these days he has been rebranded by EASA and is known as the Compliance Manager. He is responsible for the annual audit plan and to make sure all audits are carried out on time.
Concerning SMS Regulatory Obligations
The operator shall implement and maintain a management system integrating a safety management system which clearly defined lines of responsibility and accountability throughout the aerodrome operator, including direct accountability for safety on the part of senior management which delivers a formal process that ensures that hazards in operations are identified;
An effective Safety Management System (SMS) requires that the “Organisation” considers all of the individual procedures, processes and activities in respect of any potential “Hazards”.
That the identified “Hazards” are assessed for any “Risk” which could adversely impact the organisation. The policies and procedures relating to safety management systems may be contained in a separate SMS manual if the organisation prefers, identifying a formal process that ensures analysis, assessment and mitigation of the safety risks in aerodrome operations and takes into account any changes or proposed changes.
