From where in fact safety data comes
In the absence of bad outcomes, the best way to sustain a state of intelligent and respectful wariness is to gather the right kinds of data. This means creating a safety information system that collects, analyses and disseminates information from incidents and near misses, as well as from regular proactive checks on the system’s vital signs.

From where in fact safety data comes Ref – IFATCA survey early 2000
20
Encourage people to report even minor concerns
Assess the reporting culture and identify major reporting impediments in your organisationConduct a survey amongst the totality or part of your
staff to assess the reporting culture and main impediments for reporting
Involve staff representatives in the survey
21
Improve the trust in the system
Trust is the most important foundation of a successful reporting programme, and it must be actively protected, even after many years of successful operation.
O’Leary - British Airways & S. L. Chappell -NASA
22
Written reporting policy and procedure
People need to know what will happen when they are involved in or witnessed a safety occurrence and submit a report.
“Just Culture”, agreed by staff representatives – define the limits
Separation of the data-collecting function Involvement of active controller in the process Confidentiality for the reporter

Management Issue
The environment is not « normal » when the conditions in which operators are required to work were either:
•Not covered by procedures
•Or not addressed by training
•Or the supervision was inadequate (e.g. manning of sectors, traffic flow control etc..)
This must be understood as external and internal conditions being covered by procedures, training, and all activities that must be carried out to ensure normality of operations (supervision)
Important: non written rules but working habits that are considered « normal » practice at a given unit must be considered as « normal » environment
This actually refers to the author of the action(s) or absence of action(s) concerned being conscious of not doing well and potentially endangering others .
This includes (gross) negligence
The « substitution » test aims at determining whether any other staff with the same experience would have performed in a same way or not.
In ATM this can only be achieved by a group discussion of « experts » (experienced staff) which honestly evaluates the performance and decides whether the performance was substandard or not.
Care must be taken as experienced staff may have developed their skills in different manners.

Seriously what ANSPs can do?
(NAME of organisation) will adopt the following « proportionate blame » policy with regards to incidents with the purpose of making disciplinary measures strictly limited to those acts that do not qualify as « honest mistakes ».
1. Disciplinary measures range from:
• temporary suspension of payment of shift allowances
• Down grading
• ……
2. Disciplinary measures are to be decided upon by the Management who has to consider the advice of the disciplinary committee. (see TORs of disciplinary committee)
3. The disciplinary committee shall also be informed by the Management about acts that need to be reported to the Department of Justice.
4. Safety occurrences that emerge from data derived from automatic reporting activities (STCA and/or AMST) will not mention any names as long as they do not pertain to a reported occurrence (by ATM or pilot)
