.
Become the criteria upon which the organization bases its actions (outcomes expected of staff, managers and contractors).
It should be signed by the senior person in the airline, usually the Chief Executive Officer or Flight Operations Director. It is a tangible indication that senior management is committed to the FOM program.
Your safety policy should be reviewed periodically to ensure that it remains coherent with your safety objectives, and relevant to your operation.
FOM OVERVIEW
Set the FOM objectives
Objectives set operational standards. They need to be specific, measurable, realistic and agreed by those who have to deliver them. Both short- and long-term objectives should be set and prioritized against safety and business needs.
The FOM objectives are outcome-based to meet the organization's safety policies. For example, you may have an objective (for the ensuing six months) to monitor 95% of all your flights. By communicating your target in advance you will foster a common goal for all persons concerned with FOM to achieve.
Allocate sufficient resources to FOM
When planning the implementation of the FOM program, it is important to look at the
resources available and those that need to be provided.
Resources required include:
.
Time – for meetings, information gathering, planning and communication
.
Expertise
.
Training
Frequently time is the resource most difficult to allocate, particularly when starting the implementation of the FOM program. Meetings will be required to establish roles and responsibilities. Time must also be taken to communicate the intention of the program to all flight crews.
The next important resource you need to devote to the operation of your FOM is expertise. You will need to involve people from across your flight operations with the expertise to address safety related issues.
All staff involved in the FOM program should be trained to understand the purpose of your FOM program and to perform their role.
Once the FOM system is running and hazards start to be identified, senior management must be prepared to commit resources to address those hazards. If hazards are not properly addressed, enthusiasm for the FOM program will quickly wane.
Appoint a FOM Manager
The FOM Manager is the person within the organization who is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the FOM system. Depending on the size of the organization, the responsibilities of the FOM Manager may require a full-time appointment, or may be added to existing duties of the Flight Safety Officer. The FOM Manager requires the assistance of people from the Maintenance department and the Information Systems department to run the FOM System.
The FOM Manager/Flight Safety Officer should have an open line of communication with all the departments. This ensures that reports and recommendations are afforded the proper level of attention, and that appropriate solutions are implemented in a timely manner. The FOM Manager/Safety Officer must have the Chief Executive Officer’s assurance that any safety issue can be raised without fear.
