Federal Aviation Administration Aerodrome Operations Perspective May 25, Safety Risk Management (SRM) Mitigate Risks Identify actions, controls, or other measures to reduce the likelihood of consequences. Assess Risks Severity and likelihood are used to determine associated risk. Analyze Risks For each hazard, identify worst case outcomes. Determine consequences; likelihood & severity. Identify Hazards Identify any condition or situation that could create adverse safety consequences. Describe System Identify all related systems. 22
