Safety Management Division
After the adoption of Annex-19, ICAO has mandated that all of its member states implement State Safety Program (SSP) and Safety Management System (SMS) in their aviation industries. CAAN has established Safety Management Division within Civil Aviation Safety Regulation Directorate for the effective implementation of safety management system. This Division is responsible to carry out preliminary work relating to the SSP and coordinate the responsible Departments for the implementation of safety management system. The Division is also responsible to analyze the data received through mandatory information reporting system (MIRS) and voluntary Information reporting systems (VIRS).
