Introduction Concepts Management
It is important to determine
what defenses are already
in place and how effective
they might or might not be.
The conclusion should
determine the safety risk
and reveal whether that risk
is acceptable – this is known
as safety risk tolerability.
Integrated risks
considerations should be
included in this process
Safety Risk
- The assessment, expressed in terms of predicted probability and
severity, of the consequence(s) of a hazard taking as reference the worst
foreseeable situation.
• includes 5 categories to
denote the probability
related to an unsafe event
or condition, the
description of each
category, and an
assignment of a value to
each category.
As an example, the
criterion for safety risk
assessed as 4B falls in the
unacceptable under the
existing circumstance
category.
• Given that mature SSPs and SMSs target both human and
organizational factors, a specific analysis process is a
component of any mature, effective risk management
system.
Direct costs
• The obvious costs, which are easily determined. The high
costs of exposure of hazards can be reduced by insurance
coverage.
• Purchasing insurance only transfers monetary risk, does not
address the safety hazard
Indirect costs
• The uninsured costs. An understanding of uninsured costs (or
indirect costs) is fundamental to understand the economics
of safety.

Knowledge Check
• Scenario:
• Airport YYY has 25,000 movements in a month with 225,000 passengers.
• They had 3 bird strike events that resulted in damage to aircraft wing
leading edges.
• They had 1 runway incursion in the last 12 months to a loss of
situational awareness by a foreign flight crew that missed the correct
runway exit taxiway and in backtracking ended up on the incorrect
taxiway and crossed the stop bars before being halted by Air Traffic.
• There have been 18 occurrences reported of vehicles causing damage to
parked aircraft and one occurrence where the aircraft had to stop
suddenly due to a vehicle crossing the taxiway.

Using the output from the Practical Exercise from Module 4 where
you identified the generic hazard(s), the specific components of
the hazard(s), the unsafe events and the hazard-related
consequences and assess the risk(s), perform the following :
• assess existing defences to control the risk(s) and resulting safety
risk index.
• Propose further action to reduce the risk(s) and resulting risk
index.
• Complete the attached log (H5.2 Risk Management Template).
Useful tips:
• Elect a facilitator
• Start with a general discussion on the objective of the task and the
material available for this exercise (no more than 10 minutes)
• Select one of the participants of the group for preparing the final
report on the laptop
• Be prepared to deliver the results of the exercises (in a pen drive) to
the course instructor at least five minutes before the time allocated
