Description

This course provides an introduction to risk management in aviation. Risk management is first treated generally but more detailed examples focus on safety health and environmental risks. The course covers the nature of risk and the process of managing risk.

The range of risks of relevance to aviation are identified and ranked as an introduction to qualitative risk assessment. The course then covers OHS and Major Hazards legislation and general safety issues in aviation. Statistical analysis and fault and event tree analysis are used to demonstrate examples of quantitative risk assessment. Safety, Quality and Environmental management systems are discussed with reference to ISO9000, ISO14000 and AS/NZS4804.
