P A R T I I Safety Risk Management Concepts Part II presents key concepts about SRM and identifies where it fits within an airport SMS. Those leading the SMS and SRM efforts at an airport must fully understand these elements and educate airport personnel on the aspects relevant to their safety roles and responsibilities.

The Big Picture -- SRM and SMS 21 Risk mitigation actions arising from SRM processes may require new tools and equipment, more training, and improved awareness. Without safety promotion and management commitment to use resources to control hazards, neither the SRM outcome nor SMS performance will be effective.

22 This chapter presents basic concepts of risk and how it is managed. The terms hazard and risk are explained in detail, how hazards and risk relate is outlined, how risk is classified is described, and how SRM interacts with the other SMS components is further clarified.

24 A Guidebook for Safety Risk Management for Airports The analysis of risk is one of the steps of the SRM 5-step process and is addressed in detail in Chapter 9. For the discussion herein, the two components of risk can be illustrated by an example of how risk is analyzed for issues facing an airport.

26 A Guidebook for Safety Risk Management for Airports Risk management is a decision-making process applied to control risks associated with a single or multiple hazards. An airport always has multiple hazards to control and the risk management process involves assessing and classifying each risk, defining control measures, and allocating the resources needed to implement the controls.

Risk and Risk Management 27 6.4 Risk Classification One key task in risk management is to classify the risks. Risk classification allows one to rate the risks according to acceptability and use a consistent reference to compare risks -- a reference that is relevant no matter which airport function or project is being addressed.

28 A Guidebook for Safety Risk Management for Airports Strike Database showed that five bird species were responsible for 92% of birdstrikes causing damage to aircraft and the risk was classified as high. With the exercise complete, the wildlife team proposed new actions to target the presence of those five species in the airport area.

34 The SRM concepts presented in this part are equally applicable to small airports and to large, complex airports. Many small airports may not have the resources to implement a formal SMS with staff that has full-time responsibility to coordinate an SMS; however, despite the seeming difficulty of having the right resources to perform an SMS, coordination and communication at a small airport are more direct, with frequent face-to-face discussions during the day.
