transition to integrated safety
management

Features and Evolution of Regional Safety
Oversight Organisations (RSOO)
RSOOs in the implementation of GASP
 2010 HLSC: additional efforts needed to meet
GASP targets
promoting regional
cooperation as a way forward;
 Good coordination needed between initiatives
existing in parallel at regional level;
 EU efforts to streamline governance at the
regional level in Europe;
 At global level need to define interactions
between RSOOs and RASG (avoid duplication
of work);

RSOOs in the transition to safety management
environment
 Challenges: all States benefiting from the transition
(avoid a „safety gap” between the States widening);
 Transition equally or even more challenging than
implementation of the ‘8 Critical Elements’;
 RSOOs to help States to resolve deficiencies and
build a solid foundation for the transition;
 Regional approaches to be consistently reflected in
ICAO polices and regulatory material (e.g. new
Annex);
 Safety and information sharing initiatives – RSOOs
need to play their role;

Conclusions
 RSOOs are here to stay, and will continue to grow;
 Need to have their place in ICAO programmes and
strategies;
 Need for a clear view on the relationship
between RASGs and RSOOs (synergies while
avoiding duplication of work);
 RSOOs to help States in resolving safety
deficiencies and build foundations for transition to
safety management environment: all States to
benefit from the transition;
