Product Overview

This risk assessment covers aviation safety activities including governance, consultation, competency, maintenance systems, emergency planning and review. It supports planning by identifying operational risks and guiding the management of controls, actions and changing conditions.

Activities & Risks Covered

This assessment addresses activities and risks including:

Set clear oversight and accountability for aviation safety decisions
Consult workers and contractors about operational risks and recurring issues
Verify competency, training, familiarisation and supervision for safety-critical duties
Assess procurement choices, supplier information and support arrangements
Plan preventive maintenance, defect reporting, inspection and return-to-service controls
Coordinate contractor induction, activities and performance monitoring
Plan journeys, approvals, check-ins and escalation arrangements
Keep procedures, forms, contacts and technical instructions current and accessible
Prepare for fire, fuel spill, collision, medical and evacuation emergencies
Review incidents, near misses, inspections, training and corrective actions

Who is this for?

For contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses involved in aviation-related operations and supporting activities.

Activities & Hazards Covered

Activity	Potential Hazards
Governance	Weak officer oversight of aviation WHS risks and no clear accountability for critical safety decisions Business pressures overriding hazard reporting, corrective actions or safe operating limits Risk registers not maintained, escalated or reviewed when operations, plant or staffing change
Consultation	Workers and contractors not consulted about operational risks, changes or recurring safety issues Poor coordination between duty holders causing gaps in responsibilities across flight operations, ground handling and maintenance interfaces Hazards raised by workers not tracked through to action or feedback
Competency	Workers performing safety-critical duties without verified competency, refresher training or familiarisation Training content not matched to operational risks, local procedures or emergency arrangements Inadequate supervision of new, transferred or infrequently performing workers
Procurement	Procurement decisions based mainly on cost, creating unsuitable plant, parts, services or support arrangements Suppliers not providing sufficient safety information, maintenance requirements or compatibility data Contract terms driving unsafe turnaround times, deferred maintenance or reduced inspection quality
Maintenance Systems	Preventive maintenance not planned, resourced or completed, leading to degraded plant or aircraft support systems Defect reporting, isolation and return-to-service controls are inconsistent or poorly documented Inspection intervals, testing records or maintenance histories are incomplete, inaccurate or not reviewed
Contractor Management	Contractors engaged without adequate WHS screening, induction or understanding of local aviation risks Overlapping contractor and host activities creating uncoordinated work, conflicting procedures or uncontrolled interfaces Contractor performance issues not monitored, reported or corrected
Journey Management	Vehicle and personnel movements not planned, creating exposure to fatigue, route hazards, remote work and communication failures Unclear authority for approving travel during adverse weather, low visibility or abnormal operating conditions No system for monitoring check-in, escalation or recovery when journeys do not proceed as planned
Document Control	Outdated procedures, forms or technical instructions being used for safety-critical work Uncontrolled changes to documents leading to conflicting requirements across teams and contractors Workers unable to access current procedures, emergency contacts or reporting forms when needed
Emergency Planning	Emergency plans not aligned to credible aviation scenarios such as fire, fuel spill, collision, medical event or evacuation Workers and contractors unclear on roles, contacts, shutdown actions or site access during an emergency Emergency equipment, first aid arrangements and drills not maintained or tested
Monitoring and Review	Incidents, near misses and audit findings not analysed for root causes or recurring management failures Lead indicators such as inspections, training completion, overdue actions and maintenance compliance not tracked Corrective actions closed on paper without verification that controls are working in practice
