The SMSR submitted is found not to meet the minimum requirements for the issuing of a Safety Permit. The RSR provides feedback in writing to the operator on the additional information required in order to meet the basic requirements for a permit. In the letter a submission date is stipulated on which the additional information should be submitted to the RSR. The operator will still be functioning on a Temporary Safety Permit at until the submitted information was found to be adequate.
Should a SMSR be found to meet the most critical requirements but lack the remaining criteria, a Conditional Safety Permit valid for 4 months may be issued.
A letter explaining what is required from the operator to meet the Special Conditions attached to the Conditional Safety Permit is sent with the permit.
The operator will be expected to submit the information addressing the Special Conditions within 3 months of issuing of the Conditional Safety Permit.
Only once all the requirements are adhered to will the issuing of a Safety Permit valid for 3 years be considered by the RSR."
In particular, the development and implementation of the SMS shall be based on a true reflection of the operational risk management processes of the operator.
Operators must address to the specific conditions attached to their safety permit and advise compliance in order that those conditions can be revoked once complied with.
