ORG 1.1.1 The Operator shall have a management system that has continuity throughout the organization and ensures control of operations and management of safety and security outcomes. (GM)

Guidance Refer to the IRM for the definitions of Operations, Operator, Safety (Operational), Security (Aviation) and State. A management system is documented in controlled company media at both the corporate and operational levels. Manuals or controlled electronic media are acceptable means of documenting the management system. Documentation provides a comprehensive description of the scope, structure and functionality of the management system and depicts lines of accountability throughout the organization, as well as authorities, duties, responsibilities and the interrelation of functions and activities within the system for ensuring safe and secure operations. Acceptable means of documentation include, but are not limited to, organograms (organization charts), job descriptions and other descriptive written material that define and clearly delineate the management system. Documentation also reflects a functional continuity within the management system that ensures the entire organization works as a system and not as a group of independent or fragmented units (i.e., silo effect).
