Aviation Safety Management

How are you going to track hazards? First- What is hazard ?                        Hazard – any existing or potential condition that can lead to injury, illness, or death to people; damage to or loss of a system, equipment, or property; or damage to the environment. A hazard is a condition that is a prerequisite to an accident or incident.                    AMC 145A. 50(a) 1.3 “seriously the flight safety” means any instances where safe operation could not be assured or which could lead to an unsafe condition. It typically includes, but is not limited to, significant cracking, deformation, corrosion or failure of primary structure, any evidence of burning, electrical arcing, significant hydraulic fluid or fuel leakage and any emergency system or total system failure. An airworthiness directive overdue for compliance is also considered a hazard to flight safety. ...

          The first step of the analysis should be to form the Occupational Risk Management Group (ORMG) that would conduct the effort.                                                                                      This group  should consist of appropriate representatives from various disciplines including support contractors. For  example, group members should be experienced safety professionals who are recognized as experts in fire  protection, system safety, environmental and industrial engineering as well as industrial hygiene and  hazardous materials management. SSWG and ORMG will share data from the working group efforts.  ORMG Process  The ORMG process consists of nine major elements,  Develop ...

  Risk Categorization -     The completion of the initial Preliminary Hazard List (PHL) permits categorization of the planned facility  into risk categories. Categorizing is based on several factors, such as number of people exposed, type and  degree of inherent hazard of operation,  vulnerability, and cost. Inputs include whether or not the facility is “one of a kind” or a standard design  and how it impacts the rest of the installation. For example, the failure or destruction of a facility used to  house emergency power or one through which communication lines run may shut down an entire airport or  region. The designation should reflect the local concern for operational safety and health risks presented by  the facility and its mission. It is critical that the appropriate risk categorization be applied in each instance.  Initial Risk  Categorization  Facility’s Mission  Energy Sources  ! Type  ...
