ICAO’s International Standards
ICAO
International Civil Aviation Organization
国際民間航空機関
 Its member countries shall establish domestic standards in line with
regulations, standards, etc. stipulated by ICAO in principle. The Annex
to the Chicago Convention (Convention on International Civil Aviation)
(ICAO ANNEX) requires individual airlines, control organizations, and
airport administrators to implement safety management measures
approved by their national governments.
SMS(Safety Management System)
 Safety means a state in which the risk of harm to people or damage
to properties is reduced to the acceptable level and maintained
below the acceptance level through identification of the risk factors
and continuous risk management.

Safety Management in Japan
Trends in Japan
In June 2005, a “Committee for Study of Measures to
Prevent Public Transport Accidents Caused by Human
Errors,” consisting of the vice minister, concerned bureau
chiefs, academic experts, etc., was inaugurated.
As a result of studies at the committee, a “Law for Revising
Part of the Railway Business Act, etc. in Order to Improve
Transport Safety (Comprehensive Law for Transport
Safety),” which mandates formulation/notification of a
safety management rule, appointment/notification of a
safety supervisor, disclosure of information on transport
safety, etc., was established, and enforced in October 2006.

Safety Management System Framework
Safety policy and objectives
・It starts with defining rules
① business promises and duties
・Risk management alone is not enough
② Safety responsibility
③ Safety supervisor’s nomination
④ Adjustment of the emergency plan
⑤ Documentation of the safety management system
Management of the safety risk
⑥ Identification of the hazards
⑦ Risk evaluation and reduction
Safety assurance
⑧ Monitoring and measurement of safety performance
⑨ Management of modifications
⑩ Continuous improvement of the safety management
system
Promotion of safety
⑪ Training and education
⑫ Communication on safety

Safety Supervisor
(General guidelines for establishment of a safety management structure, a circular notice by the
Director-General, Civil Aviation Bureau)
 A safety supervisor is a person who holds an
administrative position participating in important
decision making on business operation, or in other
words, holds an administrative position allowed to
become directly involved in important business
judgment related to safety such decisions on safety
measures and safety investments, and is allowed to
directly express his/her opinions at the highest
management decision-making bodies such as a the
board of directors.
Managements must properly perceive safety risk

An Order to Improve Operations
On Mach 17, 2005, we received the following from the
Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation:
 an “order to improve operations” and a warning letter
A very serious situation
for a company
Article 112 of the Civil Aeronautics
Act
The Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport
and Tourism may, when he/she finds that the
business of any domestic air carrier adversely
affects transportation safety, convenience to
users, and other public interests, …
Seriousness with only two
precedents

Self-analysis of JAL
 Efforts of the management were insufficient to emphasize and
spread the fact that top priority should be given to safety under
any environment to the whole Group.
 Through our work on the improvement of punctuality,
recognition when improving punctuality that safety should be the
by far the main focus tended to lessen, creating an atmosphere
favorable to the coexistence of safety and punctuality.
 In the framework consisting of a holding company and two
business companies, created in the process of business
integration, the management and field workers were not working
in close enough contact, and communication among divisions
was lacking.
 Bidirectional communication from top management to field
workers, who directly support safety, was inadequate.

 Establish a central organization responsible for
safety as a powerful “general staff office” for the
top management
In April 2006, a “Corporate Safety & Security Division,”
consisting of professional staff members knowledgeable
of field works of operation, maintenance, cabins, airports
and cargos, was established.
Using this organization as a source of power, drive a
safety management structure across the whole group.

Top Management’ Commitment
 JAL Group Safety Charter
Safety Charter
Safety in flight operations is the very foundation and
social responsibility of the JAL Group.
To carry out our mission of assuring safety, the
management will exert its strong resolve and the
employees will bear an awareness of their individual
roles and responsibilities, and together we will combine
our utmost knowledge and capabilities to ensure the
safety and reliable operation of each and every flight.
In order to carry out our mission, we will conduct;
Perform our duties in compliance with regulations,
faithfully following the basics.
Be sure to make checks, without relying on
assumptions.
Relay information thoroughly, promptly and accurately,
and ensure transparency.
Respond to problems and issues quickly and precisely.
Maintain a constant awareness of issues, and make
necessary reforms without hesitation.

Voluntary Reporting System
Minor human errors with which safety problems have not surfaced
(that have not resulted in major problems) will be buried without
being reported. However, even such minor errors may develop into
major problems if they occurred in different circumstances.
Therefore, it is important to analyze even minor human errors and
utilize them for preventive measures in order to prevent major
problems from occurring. A system for collecting such minor
human errors is the voluntary reporting system (*).
(*) Introduce the system to operations involving operation crew,
cabin crew, mechanics, airport staff and cargo services
Gather even limited data
Copyright © 2013 JAPAN AIRLINES. All rights reserved.
40
Non-disciplinary Policy
Introduced to the JAL Group in February 2007
 If the person making such an error is punished, the
workplace will stagnate and the lesson learned will
not easily be shared. Excerpt from the recommendation by the Safety Advisory Group
 To ensure that the interview program and the
voluntary reporting system will effectively work, it is
necessary to establish a rule under which reporters
shall not be internally disciplined.
Gather accurate data

“Viewpoint of the 2.5th Person”
Viewpoint of the 2.5th person
Calmly perform your duties from the “viewpoint of the
3rd person” as a professional while at the same time
having the “viewpoints of the 1st and 2nd person”
It is important to always act from the other person’s viewpoint
Instead of thinking that you “should only do what are written in the rule”
and automatically responding, always act from a different viewpoint by
staying a while to think if “there is anything else I can do” and if “it is
necessary to check again.”
To be able to act spontaneously, acquire the “habit of mind” by
having the way of thinking from the “viewpoint of the 2.5th person”
on a regular basis.

Starting Point of Our Approach to Safety
JL123 (JA8119) crash accident
 Around 18:56 on Aug. 12, 1985, the airplane crashed into a
mountain (Mt. Osutaka) in Gunma Prefecture.
 The airplane got out of control because all hydraulic systems
became inoperable due to partial loss of the vertical tail and the
rear fuselage as a result of breakage of the rear bulkhead.
 The cause was a defective work performed by Boeing during a
repair after accidental contact of the tailpiece at the Itami
Airport in 1978 (summary of the Transport
Ministry's Aircraft Accident Investigation report )
 Of the 524 people on board,
520 (505 passengers and 15 crew
members)
were killed, and 4 survived

The idea is that you can understand the true nature of things only by actually
visiting the site (gen-chi), seeing the real things (gen-butsu) and listening to those
who experienced the accident (gen-jin) (*).
