... 5 This chapter provides a brief summary of the findings from the review of national and international literature to assess existing tools for identifying common hazards found on airports and the processes used for measuring, monitoring, and prioritizing the associated risks. The following topics are covered in this chapter: • A brief history of risk management.

... 6 Airport Risk Identification and Prioritization Practices The 1960s -- the U.S. Military and NASA Risk management began to evolve as a separate discipline in the 1960s.

... Literature Review 7 To promote SMS, ICAO amended Annex 14, Aerodromes, to require states to implement SMS at international airports. The FAA Office of Airports is implementing SMS within its internal organization.
From page 8...
... 8 Airport Risk Identification and Prioritization Practices The FAA's Advisory Circular 120-92B indicates that risk management is a fundamental component of SMS. The principal steps in the SRM process include identification of a potential hazard, analysis of the risk, evaluation of the risk, and development of an action plan to mitigate the risk if necessary.

... Literature Review 9 • Identify potential hazards and analyze and assess safety risk in ATO operations and National Airspace System (NAS) equipment; • Define safety requirements to reduce risk to an acceptable level; • Identify safety performance targets, the measurable goals used to verify the predicted residual risk of a hazard; and • Create a plan that an organization can use to determine whether expected risk levels are met and maintained.

... Literature Review 11 • The tool that will provide the appropriate systematic approach for – Identifying the greatest number of relevant hazards, – Identifying the causes of the hazards, – Predicting the effects associated with the hazards, and – Assisting in identifying and recommending risk mitigation strategies. Table 1 summarizes several hazard identification tools available.

... 12 Airport Risk Identification and Prioritization Practices Tool or Technique Summary Description Subsystem Hazard Analysis In acquisitions, the general purpose of the Subsystem Hazard Analysis is to perform a safety risk assessment of a system's subsystems and components at a more detailed level than that provided in a Preliminary Hazard Analysis. System Hazard Analysis In acquisitions, the general purpose of the System Hazard Analysis is to perform a detailed safety risk assessment of a system, particularly the interfaces of that system with other systems and the interfaces between the subsystems that compose the system under study.
