... 103 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The apron of SWR Airport will be partially closed for the rehabilitation of a deteriorated area on the east side while the airport and the remaining of the apron stay open to regular flights and apron activities. A Contractor is being hired and SWR management decided to conduct an internal Safety Risk Assessment (SRA)
From page 103...
... 104 A few new initiatives were suggested during the workshops that SWR may want to consider. Their implementation may help to further reduce risk.
From page 104...
... 105 d. Step 4 - Assess and analyze the risk Risk assessment is the process which associates "hazards" with "risks." The process involves both estimating and classifying risks.
