Introduction
The State Safety Programme Course introduces a framework for the development and implementation of a State Safety Programme (SSP) that combines elements of both prescriptive and performance-based approaches to the management of safety.
This course will provide you with the detailed theoretical knowledge you need to develop an effective SSP and through a number of exercises you will attain the practical skills that are necessary to build an effective SSP.
This course is based on ICAO Annex 19, 2nd edition, ICAO document 9859 revision 4 and EASA Basic Regulation 2018/1139 with the recent requirements for the SSP.
