According to the ICAO Safety Management Manual, Safety Promotion training should include which of the following?

• A. Accountable executive and senior managers who may not be actively engaged in the implementation of SMS
• B. Policy, roles, and responsibilities, and SMS principles to help illustrate the importance of reporting incidents
• C. Incident response drills
• D. Resource allocation

Answer: (B)

Safety Promotion training is about building awareness and participation in the SMS so everyone understands how the system works and why reporting incidents matters. The best choice highlights policy, roles and responsibilities, and SMS principles, tying the formal framework to everyday behavior like reporting. This approach helps create a safety culture where people know who is responsible, what the rules are, and why reporting incidents leads to learning and improvements.

Other options miss this focus. Training that targets executives who may not be actively engaged in implementation isn’t about promoting safety culture and reporting. Incident response drills are practical responses to events, not the education and culture-building aspect of Safety Promotion. Resource allocation deals with budgeting and priorities, not training content that fosters safety reporting and awareness.
