Challenges• Data Sharing/Disclosure –Multiple Organizations, known and
unknown– Confidentiality
• Data quality– Timely– Accurate– Comprehensive
• Training All Organizations and Workers
Safety Performance MeasuresSource: ACI Recommended Practice: Airport Safety Performance Measurement – The Use of Safety Key Performance Indicators[Draft March/2014]
Safety Measures • Principles• Key Indicators:– Runway–Maneuvering Area– Aprons–Wildlife Management– Safety Management Systems
• Safety Culture
Principles of Performance Measures
• Influenced by airport size/complexity
• Lagging, Leading and Linked• Accessible and Verifiable Data• Aid to management– Development of proactive safety
controls– Early warning

Audits/ Assessments
• Runway Safety Team
Lagging• Incursions• Excursions• FOD Incidents• Incidents/
Accidents

Safety Performance: Culture
Safety Culture
“… organizational, managerial and human factors … are the prime causes of accidents in high-reliability industries.”
[Weick, K., Sutcliffe, K., Obstfeld, D., 1999. Organizing for reliability: processes for collective mindfulness.]
Safety CultureKey Indicators:• Senior management commitment• Management visibility• Worker Involvement (engagement)• Communication• Pressure for production• Training• Housekeeping• Job Satisfaction
Measuring Safety Culture
The “Safety Climate Survey”– best practice– leading indicator
Key Attributes– Periodic–Repeatable–Assess attitudes and perceptions
Benchmarking
Notes on Benchmarking• No two airports have identical risk
profiles• A means to:– identify potential safety issues– assess progress on initiatives
• Benchmarking ≠ Marketing• ACI leading development of a
database
Summary• Yes, airport safety performance can
be measured and Airport Operators are taking a leadership role in doing so.
• Measuring airport safety
performance requires the collaboration, cooperation and engagement of all airport service providers [including regulators].
