Define a hazard
Anything with the potential to cause harm
Any condition,event, circumstance that could induce an accident
Any existing or potential condition that can lead to injury, illness or death
Damage to or loss of a system, equipment, property or damage to a system
Risk can be defined as
The chance of something happening that will have an impact on objectives
The chance or probability of a hazard causing harm or damage to people, property or the environment
Identifying hazards includes
Identifying hazards
Identifying who might be harmed and how
Evaluate the risks. Decide if existing precautions are adequate
Record findings
Review assessment
Control measures for hazards and safety events
Eliminating the risk
Minimising the risk
Risks can be minimised using the following control measures
Substituting the hazard- replace it with one that presents a lower risk. Eg toxic chemicals
Isolating the risk- reduce the exposure of employees through distance or enclosures
Implementing engineering controls- physical changes to the work environment or work process. Eg machine guards, exhaust ventilation
If a risk remains despite using the 3 main control measures, what may then be implemented?
Administrative controls
Reduce the potential for exposure by adhering to procedures.
Housekeeping Work permits Signage Training Supervision
With regards to implementing administrative controls, what is the last resort to reduce exposure?
When is this used? (3)
Ppe
All other control options are not practicable,
Ineffective,
Or a temporary measure while higher levels of control are being inplemented
What method of risk evaluation is used to identify holes in a organisations defence?
The bow tie system
What are the types of safety events
Flight safety
Ground safety
Armament safety
What is a FSE
An event that has the potential to affect the safety of a flight.
Specifically while under the direct control or supervision of aircrew personnel
What constitutes a fse
Any person is injured by an AC, or by an item dropped by or falling from an AC
any person is injured after parachuting, jumping or falling from an AC
an AC is damaged
Service/ civi property is damaged by an AC or by an item dropped by, or falling from an AC
a situation arises in which the potential for any of these to occur.
Affect or has the potential to affect the safety of a flight while under the direct control/supervision of aircrew
What is a gse
An accident or incident that occurs when an AC is not under the control or supervision of aircrew personnel
Snap 201 states that a gse has taken place if
Any person is injured
Property belonging to the nzfd is damaged
Property under the control of the RNZAF is damaged
Property is damaged such that the RNZAF may be liable
If a situation arises in which the potential for either of these exists, but excludes any event defined as a fse
What is a armament safety event
An ARM GSE occurs if the event involves armament equipment, whether fitted to AC or not
When an AC has been declared the subject of a FSE, GSE or ARM GSE, what steps must be carried out
AC is to be isolated
Only maintenance essential to safety and security is to be completed
Entry to be made into the 700 change of serviceability and repair log stating “AC under ___ investigation”
