What is the Hazard Log?

The hazard log acts as a centralized repository for all identified hazards within your operation. It is a vital component of the organization’s Safety Management System (SMS). It records hazards identified in various operational contexts, their associated consequences and risks, the mitigations in place, and the residual risks. Essentially, this is the comprehensive log of hazards the organization has identified and is responsible for managing.

How do I view the Hazard Log?

1. Under the Safety Hub menu, select Hazards. Here you can find all of your organization's active hazards.

   
   

2.  To look for specific hazards, you can use the filters at the top of the page:

1. Title Search - Search for hazards with specific keywords in the title. 

2. Impacted Operation - Narrow down hazards based on the affected operations defined for your organization, for example, maintenance, flight, dispatch, etc.   

3. Sort By - Date or Risk Score.

4. Date Range - Find hazards that were created within a date range.

5. Category - Filter hazards based on the hazard categories your organization defined, examples could be runway, weather, wildlife, etc. 

3. You can switch between Active and Retired hazards by using the tabs below the search button. Hazards are retired when they are no longer actively affecting your operation.
   
   

4. For each hazard on the list, you will see a summary including the title, category, associated forms, and risk score after mitigations have been implemented:
   

5. Once a hazard has been processed, consequences and necessary mitigations have been added. Each consequence is tied to the operation impacted by the hazard. One hazard can impact multiple operations in different ways. For example, strong winds (hazard) could lead to a runway excursion (consequence), but may also lead to a damaged hangar door (consequence). In this case, both flight and ramp operations are affected.

6. For each consequence you will be able to see the assigned risk score. In the case that the assigned risk score is above your organization's acceptable risk score, the owner of that consequence will have to approve or decline it. 

7. If the risk score was declined, the hazard owner will assign mitigation(s) to reduce the risk to an acceptable level.

8. When a mitigation is implemented and accepted by the hazard owner, a green check will appear under the implementation and the hazard final risk score would be visible. At that point the hazard has been fully processed.
   
   

9. To view the hazard's full details and consequences, click on the hazard's title.
