SSP challenges

New working methods: − Working on incident analysis, risk assessment, safety information,

safety performance indicators…

− Mutual and proactive exchange with industry on these matters

Identified difficult challenges on:− Safety performance indicators implementation

− Setting efficient safety objectives at national level and for industry

Within the European scope:− A need for an EASP, including a European strategy, established in

conjunction with national SSPs and adopted at high level

− A need for a coordinated European action plan as well as for National action plans

− Collaboration in order to progress on the SSP challenges
