1HEALTH, SAFETY AND RISKExecutive summary Aircraft hangars are places where aircrafts or helicopters are stationed and maintained. This isusually an enclosed area and is built with the help of metal or other materials such as wood andconcrete. As the place is equipped with electronic mechanisms and tools which are used for themaintenance and repair or monitor an aircraft, this place is high in terms of potential risks andhazards, which may occur. This report deals with fire hazards and physiological hazardsspecifically as these are the most common and most likely to occur in an aircraft hangar. Theelectrical circuits or the compressed gases which are used extensively in the hangars where asproper harnessing and precautionary measures not being clear to the technicians are some of themajor causes for accidents and mishaps in theses hangars. This report deals with the safety andprecautionary measures that should be implemented by aircraft hangars. It deals with adescriptive idea about fire risks and physiological risks that is possible in the hangar. Some ofthe mitigation and set standards are also discussed.

3HEALTH, SAFETY AND RISKTask 1Introduction Hazards and risks are always associated with any form of transportation. Accidents areunprecedented occurring and people everyday leave their house in a state of denial that they willsurely return. Transportation authorities are in a constant cycle of improving the conditions ofthe transportation process. All over the world the aim of the authorities who are responsible forpublic transportations is to avoid risk of hazard. The elements that is responsible for anythingwhich has the potential to bring about harm in any condition, event, or situation that couldstimulate an accident like situation. A hazard is any current or potential situation which maylead to any kind of wound, sickness, or even death of the people; damage to or loss of a system,equipment, or property; or impairment to the environment. Risk is a condition which has theprerequisite that can lead to an accident. Identification of risks and hazards are the mostimportant in risk mitigation, if it is not identified it will never the fundamental is to understandthe potential of risk and analyzing the level of harm that the factor can cause. Synthesis of thisinformation is used to develop precautionary measures and implementation tactics of thestrategies ((Zehfuss and Klinzmann 2015). Much like any other maintenance or manufacturingfacilities, aircraft hangars are also essentially dangerous places to work in. The hangars havelarge, open space areas along with tall roof decks to accommodate high-value aircrafts, the largeaircraft wings and fuselages develop a physical barrier to both fire detection and containment.Big amount of liquid jet fuel are also housed in the hangars, which along with several aircraftmaintenance activities offer a variety of potential ignition supply. The size and scale of thehangar is also one of the major factors that impact the risks and hazard potential (George 2017).
