Step 1 – System and Task Description

Please describe the function and purpose of the current system, organization, operational process or procedure. Be sure to include the operating environment, the personnel, equipment, and facilities necessary for operation of the system. Consider and describe inter/intra-departmental interfaces with the system, organization, process or procedure being described (see step 5 for more info).

Step 2 – Hazard Identification

Hazard – any existing (or potential) condition that affects human performance or system performance that can lead to injury, illness or death: damage to or loss of a system, equipment or property. A hazard is a condition that might cause (is a prerequisite to) an accident or incident.

Describe all hazards you have identified that may exist in the current state of the system, organization, operational process or procedure, or operational environment.

Hazard 1: ______

Current Controls/Mitigation: ______

Potential Consequences: ______

Hazard 2: ______

Current Controls/Mitigation: ______

Potential Consequences: ______

Hazard 3: ______

Current Controls/Mitigation: ______

Potential Consequences:______

Hazard 4: ______

Current Controls/Mitigation: ______

Potential Consequences: ______

Step 3 – Risk Assessment

Reference the Risk Assessment Matrix on the following page. Identify the most likely level of risk associated with each hazard identified above; include any current controls/mitigation in your assessment.

Hazard 1: Severity: ______Likelihood: ______Risk: ______

Hazard 2: Severity: ______Likelihood: ______Risk: ______

Hazard 3: Severity: ______Likelihood: ______Risk: ______

Hazard 4: Severity: ______Likelihood: ______Risk: ______

Safety Risk Assessment Worksheet

Risk Assessment: Likelihood Scale

Frequent / 5 / Likely to occur often.
Probable / 4 / Likely to occur sometimes.
Occasional / 3 / Unlikely to occur, but possible.
Remote / 2 / Very unlikely to occur.
Improbable / 1 / Almost inconceivable that the event will occur.

Risk Assessment: Severity Scale

Catastrophic: 5 / Results in fatalities and/or loss of the system.
Hazardous: 4 / Results in serious injury and/or major system damage.
Major: 3 / Results in minor injury and/or minor system damage.
Minor: 2 / Nuisance, Minor incident.
Negligible: 1 / Little consequence.

Risk Assessment Matrix

Severity
Likelihood / Negligible
1 / Minor
2 / Major
3 / Hazardous
4 / Catastrophic
5
Frequent
5 / 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25
Probable
4 / 4 / 8 / 12 / 16 / 20
Occasional
3 / 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 / 15
Remote
2 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 10
Improbable
1 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

Red = Bad – Not acceptable for day to day operations, operation must not begin or continue without mitigation to a lower risk level.

White = Acceptable with Mitigation, risk controls, and or risk control monitoring

Green = Acceptable Risk without mitigation.

Safety Risk Assessment Worksheet

Step 4 – Risk Control/Mitigation

Controls are elements of the system (including hardware, software, special procedures or steps, and supervisory practices) designed to keep processes on track to achieve their intended results.

Mitigation plans should either eliminate the hazard or lessen the risk associated with the hazard. Mitigation plans should be applied in order to achieve As Low As Reasonable Practicable (ALARP) risk.

Once you have assessed the risk for the identified hazard(s), it may be necessary to implement or alter mitigation activities or controls in order to bring the risk within acceptable levels.

Are mitigation activities warranted for any of the Hazards Identified to bring the risk within acceptable levels?If the risk falls within the green area of the matrix then this is considered acceptable risk. If all of the Hazards Identified fall into the acceptable level, then you will check NO and complete step 5 and step 8. If yes to any, then proceed to step b. below.

 Yes No Unsure

If yes, what are the proposed mitigation activities for the risks identified?

H1:______H2:______H3:______H4:______

Are there alternative mitigation strategies that were considered? Please identify.

______

What is the timeline associated with the risk mitigation activities?

______

Step 5 – Intra/Inter – Departmental Interfaces

When considering changes to system, organization, operational process or procedure, or operational environment, it is likely that other operating departments may be affected in some way.

Place a check mark by the departments listed below if the proposed change(s) you make could potentially affect activities in that department (including regulatory impact).

 Flight /  Accounting /  Sales
 Maintenance /  IT /  Human Resources
 Security /  Airport Services /  Accounting
 Legal /  Environmental /  Other -
 Safety /  FBO’s /  Other -

Ensure that the proposed change has been appropriately coordinated with the affected departments.

Place a check mark next to the Manuals listed below if there is a potential impact to a process or procedure already documented.

 GOM (General Operations Manual) /  SMS (Safety Management System)
 FAM (Flight Attendant Manual) /  GMM (General Mx Manual)
 PTP (Pilot Training Program) /  Op Specs (Maintenance)
 Op Specs (Fight Ops) /  Repair Station Manuals (145)
 LTP (Line Service Training Prog) /  Employee Manual
 Other – (Specify) – /  Other – (Specify) –

Please list the specific program(s) that may be affected.

______

Based on your knowledge, does this change relate to any CFR, Ops Spec, or standard(s) set by ISBAO, ARGUS, DOT, DOD, Insurance etc.? If so specify.

______

Step 6 – Re-Evaluating Risk With New Controls (Substitute Risk Assessment)

Substitute Risk is a risk unintentionally created as a consequence of safety risk control(s)/mitigation activities.

Once you have identified proposed mitigation strategies and verified impact in other departments, it is necessary to reassess the system or task with the new control(s) in place. This will ensure that the proposed changes do not inadvertently introduce unacceptable risk elsewhere.

Describe any new hazards that you have identified that may exist as a result of the mitigation strategies implemented in Step 4(b).

Hazard 1: ______

Potential Consequences: ______

Hazard 2: ______

Potential Consequences: ______

Hazard 3: ______

Potential Consequences: ______

Hazard 4: ______

Potential Consequences: ______

Identify the level of risk associated with each potential hazard listed above using the Risk Matrix provided in Step 3.

Hazard 1: Severity: ______Likelihood: ______Risk: ______

Hazard 2: Severity: ______Likelihood: ______Risk: ______

Hazard 3: Severity: ______Likelihood: ______Risk: ______

Hazard 4: Severity: ______Likelihood: ______Risk: ______

Note: If the risk value for the above identified hazards does not fall into the green area (acceptable risk) then more effective controls will need to be implemented in Step 4(b) in order to reduce the risk to the acceptable level.

What type of monitoring plan should be involved in tracking any proposed changes and mitigation activities? ______
