... Safety Risk Assessment (SRA) P A R T V This part presents a detailed discussion about the SRM application likely to be the most visible to airport management, staff, and stakeholders.
From page 75...
... 81 SRM processes are used to address many different types of safety issues, from simple hazards, like FOD originated from uncovered trash cans, to very complex airport construction and improvement projects that affect airfield operations. These examples illustrate conditions that require changes to how the airport does business.
From page 76...
... 82 A Guidebook for Safety Risk Management for Airports 16.1 Benefits of an SRA Among the most important benefits of convening a panel and performing an SRA are as follows: • The SRA takes the airport through a full and systematic process to identify hazards and reduce risk levels. • The SRA coordinates the actions of multiple airport functions (e.g., operations, maintenance, engineering, and ARFF)
From page 77...
... Introduction to SRA 83 complaints from the FAA ATCT personnel that maintenance staff is not using proper ingress/ egress procedures to access the airfield movement areas. The Director of Maintenance determines an SRA may help determine risks and identify actions for the maintenance department to take to improve the use of correct procedures.
From page 78...
... 84 A Guidebook for Safety Risk Management for Airports In general, the SRA should primarily be considered as a proactive planning evolution. It is best used in advance of a planned system change or as a result of safety trend analysis.

Introduction to SRA 85 SRA Trigger Description Example Construction Airfield improvement Runway 15 extension Airfield rehabilitation Resurfacing Taxiway C Airfield maintenance (beyond day to day work) Rubber removal; chip seal on Runway 10 Construction of tower Construction of new ATC tower Terminal expansion Additional gates and gate areas Landside roadway reconfiguration Additional lanes into the terminal area Parking area modifications or rehab Parking garage rehab or updating facilities Changes in access roads onto airport property Adding or subtracting lanes and access points Standard Operating Procedures Changes New SOP SOP for towing aircraft; SOP for mowing grass in safety areas Modification to existing SOP Changes to SOP on snow removal due to new equipment Airport Organization Significant changes to airport organizational structure or key personnel Rearranging the Department of Operations; creating an SMS Division Safety Reports (Hazardous Condition Reports)
From page 80...
... 86 A Guidebook for Safety Risk Management for Airports 16.4 Categories of SRA Triggers This section explains and provides examples of the most common triggers used by airports to define the need to conduct an SRA. 16.4.1 Hazard Reports Hazard reports at airports are used to describe safety issues (e.g., presence of wildlife, damaged NAVAID, and FOD)
From page 81...
... Introduction to SRA 87 16.4.2 Accident and Incident Reports Accident and incident reports constitute an important category of triggers. In most cases, these reports lead to an accident or incident investigation.
From page 82...
... 88 A Guidebook for Safety Risk Management for Airports areas. Having many workers and much equipment in a confined area, often under substantial time pressure, creates an environment in which injuries and aircraft damage may occur.
From page 83...
... Introduction to SRA 89 Sometimes the simple analysis and trending of data may help identify the focus of actions to mitigate risks. However, to understand which actions will be more effective will require a discussion with SMEs or personnel from specific airport functions.
From page 84...
... 90 A Guidebook for Safety Risk Management for Airports In this example, each towing incident caused major problems and legal actions for the small airport. The airport management was seeking alternatives to reduce the negative perception of stakeholders and ensure the view that hiring airport services for towing aircraft was safe.

From page 86...
... 92 The SRA process can be divided into three different parts: preparation, conduct, and documentation. Each part includes two or more subtasks, as illustrated in Figure 17-1.

From page 96...
... 102 A Guidebook for Safety Risk Management for Airports 17.3.3 Submit Report Following the completion of the documentation, the airport should have a documented process that describes how the report is to be submitted and accepted by the appropriate management personnel. These personnel may include the SMS manager, the Accountable Executive, the project sponsor, or other personnel authorized to accept and ensure the risk mitigation plan is implemented and tracked to determine if it is successful.
From page 97...
... 103 18.1 Preparing to Facilitate an SRA An experienced facilitator can help ensure the success of an SRA. Ideally, a facilitator who is also a SME in the safety issue that triggered the SRA and who has no conflict of interest with the parties involved should be selected.
From page 98...
... 104 A Guidebook for Safety Risk Management for Airports 18.1.1 Invitations to Participate Following the initial briefing with the airport staff, decisions need to be made concerning the invitations to participate in the SRA. The first decision is on the responsibilities to prepare and send the invitations.

... 106 A Guidebook for Safety Risk Management for Airports important. Alternately, panel members experienced with SRAs may have had a bad experience, such as a protracted timeline, arguments among panel members, or poor data, which may arouse negative feelings about the process.
From page 101...
... Facilitating an SRA 107 • Referring to the timeline prior to taking breaks and coming out of breaks so that panel members see progress and can adjust accordingly • Starting on time after breaks and refreshment periods • Having a plan for how long each step in the process will take for discussion and decisions • Asking panel members what can be done to ensure the process and the timeline proceeds efficiently • Calling time-out and reminding the panel members that their time is valuable and you, as the facilitator, want to ensure it is not wasted. This may be necessary for those panels members who insist on straying off topic and discussing matters that do not directly pertain to the SRA • Striving to prevent participants from skipping ahead.
From page 102...
... 108 A Guidebook for Safety Risk Management for Airports • Allow some discussion, but be mindful of the schedule and call the panel members back if need be. Some discussion is important because it gives the panel members an opportunity to debate and perhaps discover issues that otherwise would not be mentioned • Take breaks.
From page 103...
... Facilitating an SRA 109 SRA panel members will sometimes want to assess risk based on the worst outcome of the hazardous condition and not necessarily on the worst credible outcome. People tend to believe that all hazardous conditions could lead to a catastrophic event.
From page 104...
... 110 19.1 SRA Planning At small airports, an SRA will likely involve few people, regardless of the complexity of the issue. Typically, panel members will come from the airport staff.
From page 105...
... 111 The FAA may require some 14 CFR Part 139 certificated airports to develop and maintain an SMS that encompasses aircraft movement areas of the airfield. The SMS should include the four components: safety policy, safety risk management, safety assurance, and safety promotion.
From page 106...
... 112 A Guidebook for Safety Risk Management for Airports System to Identify Hazards A system to identify hazards is a key element of the airport SMS. The airport may decide to use or create a hotline for hazard reporting or to use its IT systems and create a tool for online reporting of hazards.
From page 107...
... SRM and the FAA 113 the objectives defined by the airport and, in some cases, these objectives are documented in the SMS manual. For example, a large airport established a safety objective of reducing by 40% the monthly number of birdstrikes causing adverse effect to flights over a period of 2 years.
From page 108...
... 114 A Guidebook for Safety Risk Management for Airports Some safety assurance processes used by the FAA, like Part 139 certification inspections, have been in place for decades. With the implementation of the FAA ARP's internal SMS, some triggering actions for safety assessments have been established and may require interactions with the airport operator, as presented in Table A-1.

While the meaning of severity is straightforward, understanding the term likelihood requires some basic understanding of probability.

Although smaller airports with less than 400 movements per day should use the FAA likelihood criteria based on the period, the probability may still be calculated using a baseline risk based on the number of operations.
