<strong>Hazard</strong>/Risk <strong>Management</strong> Process<br />

SCOPE OF ACTIVITY


Step 1 - Define the scope<br />

• Determine what range of activities, locations or aircraft the process will cover.<br />

‣ Smaller operators – May cover the whole operation.<br />

‣ Larger operators – May split the process <strong>by</strong><br />

Location/base<br />

Aircraft type<br />

Operational role (e.g. offshore, HEMS, heliski-ing)<br />

• Start where you feel the greatest risk or exposure lies within your operation.<br />

‣ <strong>Hazard</strong> or incident reports may give the indication.<br />

‣ Staff and managers normally know what their risk areas are.<br />

‣ This may also be influenced <strong>by</strong> customers and regulators!

SCOPE OF ACTIVITY<br />

IDENTIFY AND RECORD<br />

HAZARDS


Step 2 – Identify & Record <strong>Hazard</strong>s<br />

• This stage should be a continuous process.<br />

• Definition of a <strong>Hazard</strong> can cause debate amongst learned safety professionals.<br />

‣ Generic hazards – Wind, IMC, aircraft components.<br />

‣ Specific hazards – Crosswind exceeding limits, inadvertent entry into IMC, incorrectly<br />

fitted aircraft components.<br />

‣ <strong>Hazard</strong>ous consequences – loss of control, disorientation, aircraft system failure.<br />

• While you can list each definition/level in your hazard register, recommend focus<br />

on specific hazards at this stage.

• State Accident Investigation bodies report data bases<br />

NTSB<br />

AAIB<br />

Transport Canada<br />

BEA<br />

• Flight safety Foundation “Basic Aviation Risk Standard – Resource sector”<br />

Gives both generic and role specific hazards and lists a number of possible controls for each<br />

hazard.<br />

Identified hazards should be recorded in a <strong>Hazard</strong> Register<br />

‣ Various formats.<br />

‣ Web based, excel tables, access data bases, hand written!

RISK ANALYSIS


Step 3 – Risk Analysis<br />

• Having identified hazards, assess the level of risk associated with each to:<br />

‣ Determine if further action is required<br />

‣ Prioritise where effort needs to be directed first<br />

• Use a Risk Assessment Matrix (RAM) to give an objective score to a subjective<br />

topic<br />

‣ This enables standardisation across the organisation.<br />

‣ It reduces dispute and argument<br />

‣ Gives a very visual and clear indication of risk for management review.<br />

Red is difficult to ignore and loosens budget strings.


Typical RAM<br />

• Too vague and open to different interpretation.<br />

• Detailed definition required for likelihood and severity.


Detailed RAM<br />

• Detailed definition of Likelihood.<br />

• More detail can be added to consequences i.e. actual $ values to asset levels.<br />

• Consequences should be applied as the actual consequences that happened in<br />

previous cases of the event.


Detailed RAM<br />

Inadvertent Entry to IMC hazard example.<br />

• This company had a fatal CFIT following inadvertent IMC entry 3 years ago.<br />

• Within the country there were 4 CFIT on VFR aircraft in last 12 months, 2 fatal,<br />

with 8 fatalities.

RISK ANALYSIS<br />

IDENTIFY CONTROLS<br />

FOR SPECIFIC HAZARDS


Step 4 – Identify controls for specific hazards<br />

• A number of methods for identifying controls<br />

‣ Brainstorming<br />

‣ Bow Tie analysis<br />

‣ Tripod (Investigation tool, but can be reverse engineered)<br />

• Regardless of method, this step requires that appropriate controls are identified<br />

to manage each hazard to ALARP<br />

‣ The higher the risk, the more effective the controls have to be and potentially more<br />

layers of controls required.


ALARP – As Low As Reasonably Practicable<br />

What does that mean?<br />

How far should you go in developing controls?<br />

ALARP is a trade off between:<br />

The cost/effort/ operational impact of implementing the<br />

control<br />

Vs<br />

The safety benefit realised from the control<br />

While it is proportional, continue.<br />

When it gets disproportional, stop.


Step 4 – Identify controls for specific hazards<br />

• A number of methods for identifying controls<br />

‣ Brainstorming<br />

‣ Bow Tie analysis<br />

‣ Tripod (Investigation tool, but can be reverse engineered)<br />

• Regardless of method, this step requires that appropriate controls are identified<br />

to manage each hazard to ALARP<br />

‣ The higher the risk, the more effective the controls have to be and potentially more<br />

layers of controls required.<br />

Quote from ICAO SMS Manual<br />

“The most effective mitigations are hard mitigations. Because hard mitigations<br />

are often expensive, organizations frequently resort to soft mitigations (such as<br />

training). In such cases, the organization is more often than not relinquishing to<br />

subordinates responsibility for safety risk management.”


Step 4 – Identify controls for specific hazards<br />

Wasted effort alert<br />

• Don’t just use this as an exercise to justify existing procedures and controls.<br />

‣ You will have added no benefit from the process.<br />

• Try and look at the hazard isolated from financial and resource constraints in the<br />

first place.<br />

‣ “Blue sky thinking”<br />

‣ Impractical controls can be discounted later in the process<br />

• Use a range of personnel from within the company at this stage.<br />

‣ Line pilots and mechanics as well as supervisors and safety staff.<br />

• Look outside your own organisation at how others in the broader aviation<br />

industry have managed this hazard.<br />

‣ Especially those areas with better safety records e.g. airlines, offshore.<br />

‣ Can those controls be replicated at a local level?


Step 4 – Identify controls for specific hazards<br />

• Each control needs to meet the following criteria:<br />

‣ Effective<br />

‣ Cost/benefit<br />

‣ Practical<br />

‣ Acceptable<br />

‣ Enforceable<br />

‣ Durable<br />

‣ Doesn’t create new hazards

Step 6 – Remedial Action Plan<br />

• Ideally an organisation should have just one remedial action plan, containing all<br />

the actions arising from the hazard management process, safety reporting, QA<br />

audits etc.<br />

• This presents senior management with one complete overview and allows<br />

departmental requirements to be compared and addressed on a priority basis<br />

using the RAM score.<br />

‣ For larger global organisations, local plans may be required.<br />

• Remedial action plans can be recorded on simple excel sheets or in complex<br />

integrated databases such as Qpulse or Impact Safety.<br />

• The <strong>Hazard</strong> Register should reflect the status of the remedial action plan.

Having documented controls to manage hazards, some<br />

existing and some new, QA checklists must be updated to<br />

ensure that auditors assess those controls for compliance<br />

and effectiveness.<br />

Ineffective controls need to be reassessed at<br />

Step 8 – Interface with Safety Reporting and<br />

Investigation<br />

• All company accident/incident/hazard/near miss report forms should have a step<br />

that requires the safety manager or investigator to refer to the hazard register as<br />

part of the investigation process.<br />

‣ Suggest this be for all Medium and High RAM assessed events.<br />

• If a new hazard is identified this should lead to Step 2 (Haz ID).<br />

• If the hazard has already been analysed and documented, the process should<br />

result in the existing controls being reviewed for effectiveness.<br />

‣ They may all have worked, thus preventing an accident.<br />

‣ Some may have proved ineffective though and the incident may have been too close,<br />

requiring additional controls.


Example<br />

<strong>Hazard</strong> report received that a pilot inadvertently entered IMC during seismic support<br />

tasking. After some maneuvering he was able to recover and regain VMC, but<br />

had some worried passengers.<br />

After interview with the pilot it appears he pressed on with the task, in deteriorating<br />

weather conditions, under client pressure to complete the last flight of the day.<br />

The client’s on site supervisor claims that he was unaware of the operators more<br />

restrictive weather limits.

Step 9 – <strong>Management</strong> of Change<br />

• Required element of the SMS<br />

• Process to include:<br />

‣ Review the relevant sections of the hazard register.<br />

‣ How does the change effect existing controls<br />

‣ What new hazards may be introduced.<br />

• New hazards should be run through the whole process.<br />

• What should prompt the MOC process…?


Step 9 – <strong>Management</strong> of Change<br />

• The MOC process should be triggered and the hazard register should be<br />

formally reviewed ahead of the following occasions:<br />

‣ Introduction of new aircraft type<br />

‣ New contract/operation<br />

‣ Opening a new base<br />

‣ Major change in key personnel or organisation change<br />

‣ If none of the above occur, then every 2 years.<br />

• This wording can form the basis of the Change <strong>Management</strong> section in the SMS<br />

manual.<br />

• The TC SMS Guidelines call for a Safety Case to be developed as a minimum<br />

on the occasions listed above.


Step 9 – <strong>Management</strong> of Change<br />

• However – if you have a live, active and comprehensive <strong>Hazard</strong> <strong>Management</strong><br />

Process in place, this “Safety Case” could be limited to a 2-3 page document.<br />

• It would summarise:<br />

‣ What has changed<br />

‣ Which areas/departments have been affected<br />

‣ Which hazards have been reviewed or new hazards identified.<br />

‣ What actions have been taken to manage risk.

Legal Footnote<br />

Does having this process documented open me to legal or<br />

regulatory action in the event of an accident?<br />

• Not having a <strong>Hazard</strong> <strong>Management</strong> Process and not having<br />

assessed the risks that others in the industry have, may well<br />

give you exposure.<br />

• A comprehensive, well documented <strong>Hazard</strong> <strong>Management</strong><br />

Process, even one that lists controls that have not yet<br />

reasonably been put in place for financial or other reasons,<br />

represents “Best Endeavour”, which is legally defensible.<br />

• Your hazard register and remedial action plan are not State<br />

“approved” documents, but internal management tools.


Summary<br />

• Keep it manageable and focus first on your known areas of<br />

risk.<br />

• Look outside your company for global industry best practice.<br />

• Assess the risks honestly and openly within your company.<br />

• Consider all reasonable controls.<br />

• Keep the process live and adding value.


Scope<br />

• Identify the interactions of <strong>Hazard</strong> <strong>Management</strong> within the<br />

SMS.<br />

• Detail the procedural steps of the <strong>Hazard</strong> <strong>Management</strong><br />

process.<br />

• Suggest documentation requirements.<br />

• Emphasise how to keep the process live and delivering real<br />

benefit to the organisation.
