Latest progress update
A model was being developed that used two evaluations: Safety Management Systems and Physical Qualities. Each of the evaluations has two parts: an overall assessment and a detailed assessment. For the Safety Management System evaluation, there were eight categories of questions. These questions will include Basic Minimal Questions developed by UCB for initial assessments.
