This group of failure modes relates to the implementation of general system controls. It includes:
- Not implementing the traffic management plan in line with requirements
- Not implementing and monitoring traffic management requirements
- Operational or maintenance workers not complying with nominated requirements
- Not achieving required emergency response timing and/or effectiveness
- Failing to comply with key requirements (and subsequent regulator prohibitions/prosecution/response)
The business inputs which address these types of failure modes are presented.
