Enhancing Safety through SMS: A Case Study Analysis

This case study involves a hot air balloon accident resulting in serious injuries due to a collision with power lines while performing low-level maneuvers. To prevent such accidents, the safety management system (SMS) is crucial. Implementing and reinforcing the components of SMS could have prevented the incident.
The first step should be establishing clear safety policies and objectives, which will guide and strengthen the communication between all involved. Per the AC 120-92B, Section 5.21, the safety policy should include safety objectives, a commitment to fulfilling those objectives, provision of necessary resources, a safety reporting policy, and a policy defining unacceptable behavior. Measurable safety objectives allow organizations to assess safety performance objectively, track progress, identify trends, and assess the effectiveness. In this case we would define safety objectives specific to hot air balloon operations such as minimizing the risk of collisions or ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements related to hot air balloon operations.
Proper safety risk management will help Identify hazards and assess risks that could be associated. Referring back to AC 120-92B, Section 5.23, which explains the definition of accountability for safety, also requiring clear identification of “levels of management” with the authority to make decisions regarding safety risk acceptance. In the context of the hot air balloon scenario, the focus is on minimizing the risk associated with the inherent hazards of flammable fuel, operational hazards, and environmental factors. For the scenario, we should
identify hazards associated with hot air balloon operations, like weather, airspace congestion, and equipment malfunctions. Then Assess the severity and likelihood of potential accidents related to these hazards, which may involve developing and implementing risk mitigation measures.
Now we must develop the processes for monitoring safety performance and continuously improving. AC 120-92B, Section 5.25, outlines the designation and responsibilities of the accountable executive and safety management, ensuring coordination of emergency response planning. The accountable executive is responsible for developing and signing the safety policy and regularly reviewing safety performance. This stage of SMS is a proactive approach to monitoring changes, establishing performance standards, and continuously improving safety processes, with the ultimate goal of maintaining and enhancing overall safety standards.
It is important to promote a positive safety culture through training and communication.
AC 120-92B, Section 5.27, emphasizes the coordination of emergency response planning, requiring the development of an emergency response plan approved by the accountable executive. Besides more training, regular safety briefings could be conducted to reinforce key safety messages or establish effective communication channels for safety-related information. Something as simple as rewarding safety-conscious behavior to reinforce the importance of safety.

Systems Analysis
Consider the following dialogue between a systems professional, Joe Pugh, and a manager of a department targeted for a new information system, Lars Meyer: Pugh: The way to go about the analysis is to first examine the old system, such as reviewing key documents and observing the workers perform their tasks. Then we can determine which aspects are working well and which should be preserved. Meyer: We have been through these types of projects before and what always ends up happening is that we do not get the new system we are promised; we get a modified version of the old system. Pugh: Well, I can assure you that will not happen this time. We just want a thorough understanding of what is working well and what is not. Meyer: I would feel much more comfortable if we first started with a list of our requirements. We should spend some time up-front determining exactly what we want the system to do for my department. Then you systems people can come in and determine what…

Solve the quations:
Tony and his team identified some risks during the first month of the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project. However, all they did was document the risks in a list. They never ranked the risks or developed any response strategies. Because the project has had several problems, such as key team members leaving the company, users being uncooperative, and team members not providing good status information. Tony has decided to be more proactive in managing risks. He also wants to address positive risks as well as negative risks.
The question is :
Create a risk register for the project. Identify six potential risks, including risks related to the problems described in the previous paragraph. Include negative and positive risks.
