that arise from that hazard. Pick two
risks and consider which one you
believe you should deal with soonest.
* Control Measures - What can you
put in place that could mitigate the
risk and reduce its likelihood and/or
severity, if anything?
* Communication - How do you pass
those mitigation measures down the
chain? Through training, bulletins or
other ways?
After assessing hazards, risks, control
measures and communication, Yeomans
encourages ground service providers
to review their findings. Then consider
how often a crew might need to review
the measures put in place for effectiveness
while looking for any unintended
consequences.
" Taking a piece-by-piece approach
like this allows you to concentrate on
what is important for you at your location.
Set appropriate targets and measure
your performance against them, " he says.
" These become your safety performance
indicators (SPIs) that then can be seen to
directly link to your top safety concerns
and address your safety objectives. "
Brandon Popovich, manager of safety
training for the National Air Transportation
Association (NATA), emphasizes prevention
starts prior to the movement.
" A pre-tow meeting conducted by the
tow team is a place that the movement
can be discussed prior to assumptions
being made, " he explains. " The tow
team lead, usually the tug driver but not
always, discusses the aircraft movement
including route to be taken, obstacles to
be considered and final aircraft position.
This meeting is brief and is usually conducted
in a few short sentences. "
Other key prevention factors, according
to Popovich are a positive attitude
and understanding of the movement.
" Involving the team during a risk
assessment can reveal some areas of
concern that may have not been known, "
he continues. " Identifying these risks and
implementing new or adjusted strategies
could eliminate or reduce the risk of
hangar rash incidents. Use of wing walkers
and, when conditions require it, a tail
walker; implementation of safety barriers
within hangars; adjusting policies and
procedures such as removing gear placement
carpets prior to placing an aircraft
in a hangar are examples of risks that
could be identified using an SMS. "
Commenting further on removing
gear placement carpets, he says, " the
carpets are distractions. Removing the
carpets prior to placing an aircraft in a
hangar eliminates that distraction and
places the focus on the aircraft, the wing
walkers and/or obstacles. "
