We have all learnt about safety management systems (SMS) and the 4
principal components - Safety Policy & Objectives, Safety Risk Management,
Safety Assurance and Safety Promotion. Buried in Safety Assurance, within the
sub-element Safety Performance Monitoring & Measurement are things called
safety performance indicators or SPIs.
Most organisations have actually defined SPIs and slavishly track
them at SAG and SRB meetings. But many don't really understand what SPIs are
and what they should be doing for the business, so actually a lot of the effort
is wasted on meaningless data.
Take a look at the diagram below - see how it shows SPIs as the
very foundation of an integrated safety management plan:
Gates Aviation offers a one-day training course for aviation organisations, which clearly explains and demonstrates how to set useful and effective SPIs (and KPIs) that really answer the question:
"How good is our safety
performance?"
