Identifying the need for, planning, preparing, executing, monitoring and tracking, and documenting a safety risk assessment (SRA) can be arduous. Depending on the complexity of the safety issue, system change, or system itself, the amount of effort that must go into the SRA is proportional. To make this process more manageable for airport stakeholders and operators, a simple checklist has been developed by several airports that have participated and some airports that did not participate in the SMS Pilot Studies. These checklists can help ensure the tasks, information, and panel member duties are accounted for, so that the SRA can be an effective, efficient process.
