Regulations and Exemptions

Q3.  Will the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations be amended to facilitate SMS?

It is not necessary to amend the dangerous goods regulations, since SMS adds to the current requirements. As an enterprise-wide program, some components of SMS are already required in the Aviation Occupational Safety and Health (AOSH) regulations, and the CARs SMS requirements will overlap in some areas of the AOSH requirements. The same can be said of compliance with other requirements not specific to aviation, but affecting the performance of aviation related work, such as compliance with labour codes, etc.
