Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Hazard Management in Aviation

This text explains the concepts of hazard identification, risk assessment and hazard management in aviation industry. It also highlights the difference between hazard and risk. The best risk management process adopted in aviation industry is also discussed.

1. WHAT DO UNDERSTAND THE TERM HAZARD?HOW IT IS DIFFERENT FROM RISK
Hazard can be of situation or sources having potential of harm in terms of human injury, damage of
the property, environment and sometimes combination of both. Hazards at the workplace are
related to moving forklift, noisy machinery, electricity, chemicals, repetitive job, working at height
and inappropriate behavior that in turn adversely affect the workers’ health and safety (Young et al.,
2018) Hazard has the potential to cause injury to an individual. Potential source of harm to an
individual is hazard.
Risk can be defined as a chance of occurrence of something that has negative effect. The level of risk
mainly reflects on the potential consequences of the occurrence of unwanted events and likelihood
of the unwanted event. Risk, mainly refer to the chance whether a hazard will actually occur or not.
Hazard is the harm that can actually cause injury. Risk actually indicates to the probability of causing
harm.
Hazard may cause direct harm to the employees whereas risk has chances of high or low on its
impact on the employees and organization.

2. HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY HAZARD
In order to identify hazards below steps needs to be followed are
 Review and collect information about the key hazard that likely to be present in the
workplace.
 Conduct periodic and initial workplace inspections on the workplace to identify reoccurring
or new hazards (Paulsson, 2018)
 Investigate illness, injuries, clear misses to determine hazard
 Consider the hazard that has in association with the non-routine or emergency situation
 Group similar incidents
 Identify trends in the hazards, illness and injuries that are reported.
 Determine likelihood and severity that could result for each of the identified hazard
3. HOW DO YOU ASSESS RISK
The below general principles needs to be followed to assess risks
 Identify the hazard while walking and observing around the workplace
 Identify the persons who might get harm due to the hazard. For example in aviation people
working in ground, warehouse and inside flight may get harm due to hazard (Lubaet al.,
2018)
 Evaluate the risks than needs to be decided for the control measures, the hazard must be
removed completely to protect people from harm
 The findings will be recorded and the persons who could get harmed will be cautioned
 The risks will be reviewed and through assessment will be done on the risk
4. EXPLAIN WHAT ARE THE BEST RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS ADOPTED IN THE
AVAIATION INDUSTRIES?
Aviation risk management process gives simple idea about the placing and identifying the controls
and strengthening weak points that lie in the aviation safety management system. The risk
management system have 5 steps that are
 Awareness: all the aviation staffs will be created awareness in regard to the industries
experiences, safety promotion efforts, experiences in particular environment and ability to
detect trends between certain actions and conditions.
 Identify and report: reporting and identifying are the two important task involved in the risk
management process where data analysis will done based on the trend and recorded in the

database. Aviation safety management system database includes reports of analyzed, stored
and retrieved data in regard to the hazards (Britton, 2018).
 Evaluate, Analyzeand Assess Exposures: predictive risks will be assessed at first before
causing damage.
 Determine Controls that are needed for further: updated policies and procedures,
employment training and SMS tools updating needs to be done in the aviation control
system
 Implementation of Risk Management Actions: safety programs and fully SMS services
implementation will be done.
 Monitoring and reviewing: documents all observation as evidence, assess the employees in
aviation industry to see how they respond, and evaluating the issues that controlled.
Adverse effect on health:
Adverse effect on health involves body injury, disease, change in the way the body functions,
decrease in life span, and causing mental stress. The effects can be acute, and chronic. Even if
the hazard is removed the effects are irreversible.
Types of Hazards:
Types of hazards can be:
Biological- virus, bacteria, plants, birds, animals, and human
Chemical- harmful and toxic properties of a compound.
Physical: radiation, extreme pressure, noise
Psychological: stress, violence
