Risk management : (STM 1.7.1)
2.28.1 General
a. Risk management is a fundamental elements of the GS management strategy, GS applied a risk management process that identifies, analysis, control and responds to potential problems where ground operations are performed with sufficient lead-time to avoid crises. The principal objectives of this process are to: Enable a formal and systematic approach to identifying risks and uncertainties that might impact delivery of Services provided. Evaluate the probable effects of identified risks and uncertainties to support risk prioritization Develop a targeted risk or risk removal strategy. Manage and monitor inherent risks. Improve confidence to the customers airlines. Provide a robust completion date for the risks management.
b. GS developed one risk management approach that was tailored and applied to GS ground operations consisted of 5 elements that covered hazards identification, risk assessment, risk control, and risk monitoring as follows: Provide and implement risk management program that guided to how can apply the actions and timeframes created earlier, and ensure all those involved personnel understand and function the risk management plan and process, such process included but not limited as daily monitoring system, regularly evaluation program, management filed visit, safety inspections, etc. Develop a list of the potential risks, categories, and assess each category for risks. For example, for equipments category; determine potential risks related will be occurs (i.e. insufficient, un-optimum used, not in the assigned area, not inspected prior utilized, etc.). Determine the high-priority risks. Prioritize the risks: list them in order of their likelihood and how much of an impact on the project that risk will have if it happens. List the actions must be taking if a risk occurs, have plans in place that can reduce the chances of a risk happening as well as actions that can ease the damage of a risk should it occur. Assign tasks to specific people or departments to undertake the planned preventive/corrective actions, and create a timeframe to complete these actions. Chapter 2 Cont.

Risk Management programs have the following risk management characteristics:

a. Feasible, stable, and well-understood to all users. b. A close partnership with user, operation, and other appropriate participants. c. A planned risk management process integral to the acquisition process. d. A program assessment performed early to help define a program which satisfies the users needs within acceptable risk. e. Identification of risk category, risk analysis and development of risk handling strategies. f. Acquisition strategy consistent with risk level, potentially risks conditions, and risk handling strategies. g. Continuous reassessment of program and associated risks. h. A defined set of success criteria that covers all performance, schedule, and cost elements. i. Metrics used to monitor effectiveness of risk handling strategies. j. TQM Manager has the overall responsibilities for applying the performance safety program throughout their team and curry out authority and responsibility synchronized with Station Heads and Station Quality Controller of communication and coordination with customer airlines, appropriate authority and/or concerned entity related safety issues (Quality Controller at station has the overall responsibility to manage safety program at station and submit all issue directly to TQM Manager.(STM 3.1.2). k.

Risk management plan process as follows: a. Risk identification and categorization of station operation such as new initiative/ changes. b. Quantify the risks that may have in the objectives, and/or in previously actual happened, in quantity or currency or in words and calculate the possible effect of the identified risk. c. Perform assessment, analysis, and determine the high-priority risks in order to prioritize the risks. d. Respond to a risk issue or event, and mange it into action plan. e. Monitor and control all identified risks, place notes or comments indicating any misuse of action of risks issue and who is responsible for the item. b.

2. Station Quality Management System Risk Analysis and management cycle (Cont)
c. Phase three: A preliminary evaluation of the risks is undertaken with ratings of between 1 (high) and 25 (low) being assigned for the probability of occurrence and its potential impact. Risks that are evaluated as being intolerable are then subjected to determining a more rigorous quantitative analysis and priorities. Risks identified at each level are fed into a risk register using a database that shall be considered. d. Phase Four: Risk responses, as a contingency plans to be developed for all intolerable risks, and each contingency plan identifies the particular trigger date and conditions associated with the risk to enable implementation of the action plan in sufficient time to minimize the risk to an acceptable level. For example, a change in aircraft type, say, MD 90 to 747 might require the team to redesign all operational activities such as equipments manpower, loading sheet figures, to accommodate these services and figures if the probability of this risk occurring is high. The action plan would identify trigger time and conditions for implementation of a scope change that would cause the delay of the aircraft e. Phase Five: This phase of the process is fundamental to its success. As situations change and the action taking progresses, new risks become evident, existing risks are reevaluated and trigger time/dates and conditions are monitored closely for activation of action plans. Tracks & compares the actual performance against the target rate or number , and regularly status reports that highlight the current status of each risk and the combined effects of the risks identified on the events are produced and communicated to all concerned.

This assessment should be evaluated in terms of probability of occurrence and severity of damage. For example, a scale of 1-25 for probability of occurrence and determine that it is highly likely that an employee may utilize another equipment/tool not as a specified. Then, evaluate the Loss Statement in terms of severity of damage on a scale of 1-25. If the employee falls; what will the severity of the injury be or damage the aircraft? This is a subjective question; the worse-case risk would be a probability of occurrence of 1 and severity of damage of 1. The best case scenario would be a probability of occurrence of level of 25 and a severity of damage level of 25. d. Identify risk reduction tools. After identifying all threats, developing loss statements, assessing the risks and now identify tools for reducing risks. For example, for the Loss Statement above tool/equipments to reduce the risk could be to purchase sufficient equipments and /or re-managing the available facilities, this may reduce the overall risk. e. Implement the risk reduction tools and supervise the process. After all appropriate risk reduction tools have been identified, they may be implemented. f. Chief/Managers/Stations Heads should supervise their effectiveness and go through this process again, if necessary, to further reduce risks.

Intelligence indicates the probability (relatively high probability vs. that for Level One) that a particular air carrier or air carriers and/or a particular airport or airports have been targeted for attack. At this level, baseline security measures should be enhanced to manage the increased risk. c. Level Three High Measures Intelligence indicates that an air carrier and/or airport has been specifically targeted for attack. At this level, baseline security measures should be further enhanced to manage the increased risk. 5. The level of threat to international civil aviation is determined by the appropriate authorities in each State as is the determination of countermeasures. The measures (detailed attached) are for guidance measures, customer airline may like to consider at each level of threat. The determination of enhanced measures should depend on: a. The nature and degree of the threat to which a given air carrier or airport is subjected according to the threat assessment; b. Full consultation between the State, the airport operators and air carriers on the basis for the assessment and the appropriate response to the threat; c. The expected or anticipated duration of an enhanced threat situation; d. The layout of facilities and the station and GS organization. e. Security staff and equipment available; f. Security standards which are currently applicable to flights and airports affected by an enhanced threat; g.

Copy Index value for total fuel and index from the Fuel Table at the back side of the Balance Chart form, which shows fuel weights against respective index units. For fuel figures lying between two values, interpolation of index is necessary. NOTE: Use B747 Aircraft Fuel Index in 08.04.09 for B747 Aircraft operation with Reserve Tanks Empty due to MEL 28-8. Draw a horizontal line in the direction of the arrow (for Take-off or Landing Fuel index) and drop down to the CG envelope (Ref.18). Typically, each increment in fuel scale represents one index unit. This envelope represents the safe loading limits of the aircraft. Shaded areas are not safe. This means that if the center of gravity lies in any shaded areas, then the aircraft load is not properly distributed and flight is unsafe. Redistribution of passengers and/or deadload is necessary to balance the aircraft.

4.14.1 Restraint of individual items in certified aircraft holds and certified ULD is a safety requirement which must be adhered to at all times. Failure to do so will result in damage to the aircraft compartment, or ULD, as well as damage to the other load and it could affect the aircraft balance (during take-off, landing and turbulent conditions) which could be very detrimental to aircraft safety. 4.14.2 Accurate and actual weight of bulk load, ULD's will be received from passenger services counter, for transfer ULD's accurate weight will be found in CPM message and all of those weight will be included in weight and balance calculation for each flight. 4.14.3 Procedure: a. Restraint of individual items in certified aircraft lower holds and certified ULD(s). b. All individual item of load which by their nature, shape or density may constitute a hazard, shall be restrained. Restraint can be achieved by filling the compartment, net section, or ULD volumetrically, or by tiedown. c. Pieces weighing 150 kg or more, when bulk loaded in compartments or net section, should always be tied-down, except that tie-down is not necessary on single sector flights when the compartment/net section is volumetrically full. d. Pieces weighing 150 kg or more, when packed in certified ULDs should be individually tied-down except when the unit is volumetrically full. e. Particular attention must be given to restraining Dangerous Goods. In general, all packages containing Dangerous Goods must be stowed in an upright position if so indicated, have the hazard label visible, and they should be restrained to prevent their shifting, getting crushed, tipping or damage by other load. f. Securing of ULDs: All ULDs must be secured in the aircraft in accordance with Customer Airline instructions such as SVA GSPM Chapter (7). GO TOP Chapter 4 Cont.

4.15.1 DIPLOMATIC MAIL (DIP): Diplomatic bags may be carried in the passenger cabin provided that there is a courier to accompany them and that they can be secured to the satisfaction of the cabin crew with seat extension belts. If the courier agrees, the Diplomatic bags may be loaded in the regular cargo compartment and the courier may remain under the aircraft to oversee the loading/unloading of the Diplomatic Bags. 4.15.2 DRY ICE (ICE): When a consignment containing dry ice is to be carried, it is essential that live animals are not carried in the same compartment. This is because the dry ice gives off CO2 (Carbon dioxide) which will not support life. When shipments containing dry ice are loaded on multi-sector flights that destined beyond the first stop, the origin station of the dry ice shipment will alert the down line stations by the following in the remarks section of LDM Dry Ice name of destination station and the loaded position in the compartment. The intermediate stations are then aware not to load AVI in the affected compartment. 4.15.3 HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT CARGO: a. Cargo with high moisture content such as Fresh Fruits, Vegetables, Flowers, if not properly covered will result to form heavy moisture that may activate the smoke detectors causing a false cargo compartment fire warning. b. It is therefore MANDATORY that all cargo with high moisture content should be stored inside the container when feasible, or where they have to be loaded on the pallets or bulk holds, their packages should be covered and sealed with plastic sheeting or other means of containing the moisture

Gear Pin Installation instructions: The importance of ensuring a streamer is fitted to a gear pin prior to installation cannot be understated. The failure to fit a streamer or record a missing streamer in the aircraft logbook can, and has, resulted in gear pins being left installed prior to dispatch. A return from flight results in a financial loss to the airline through fuel dumping and is an inconvenience to our customers who are likely to miss connecting flights and appointments. This reflects badly on the airline.

Issued by: JEDGS- Q Control 03 Approved by: JEDGS-H Effective March 2010 8. GSE and ULD Control 8.8.2 Investigation Guidelines a. Incident investigation is basic problem-solving. Its real purpose is to establish all the related facts and opinions. These lead to conclusions as to how and why an incident occurred. Then, conclusions are drawn on how to prevent recurrence. b. Every incident is an opportunity to learn about a problem. The problem is there. The incident has proven so. A lesson has been bought. But nothing is learned if the incident is not reported, and if it is not investigated well. Lessons can be learned from near-misses, from minor incidents, and from catastrophes. You don't have to wait for the major loss to get the message. c. Set up your investigation program to react to all incidents. Investigate everyone. Look at the potential severity of loss and the possible frequency of recurrence. If there was or could usually be serious injury or damage, make a thorough investigation. If the incident could occur often, probe deep for basic causes. Then follow up to make sure the real problem is corrected. d. Accidents are no different than other loss events from a manager's point of view. Breakdowns, waste, substandard products, injuries and damages are all losses. They are problems of the manager. They must be solved by the manager if the solution is to be the most workable one. Investigation is one of the tools of the manager. TQM Department can help you with your investigation. They can suggest methods, techniques and sources of help. They can't solve your management problems for you. Date: March 2010 Chapter 08 Page 17 of 20

Issued by: JEDGS- Q Control 03 Approved by: JEDGS-H Effective March 2010 8. GSE and ULD Control Investigation Guidelines (Cont) e. Accident Incident Response: First actions often make or break an investigation. That is one reason why it is vital to have the line appropriate personnel trained and involved. Four critical actions following an incident are: Give prompt first aid and rescue those in danger. Prevent secondary accidents such as fire, explosion, suffocation, or property damage. Identify the people, equipment, materials, and environmental factors involved. They may leave or be taken from the scene. Secure the accident site. Decide if work should be shut down. Keep things from being moved or removed until they are examined or photographed, when possible. Sources of Information: There are four sources of information about an incident. These are: 1. 2. 3. 4. People, Relative positions of things, The parts, and Records. Date: March 2010 Chapter 08 Page 18 of 20
f. Analyzing Causes: Program Methodology on accident causation described immediate causes and basic causes. One must identify the unsafe acts and unsafe conditions in an accident. It is even more critical to then analyze the basic causes. True prevention is possible only when we know the environmental actors and personal factors that in turn cause those unsafe acts and conditions. If the basic causes are not identified, the investigation is not completed.

Remedial Actions: Remedial actions either reduce the risk or eliminate the hazard. There are usually several ways to do either. There are also usually trade-offs in costs, benefits and effects. The perfect solution is quite rare. All these things are another reason why the supervisor should be involved. He takes the remedial actions. His performance is affected by the tradeoffs. Good remedial actions come from simple reasoning: a. Set the objective; the basic cause to be corrected. b. Develop alternate ways of reaching the objective. c. Analyze how much effect each alternative will have. d. List the cost of each alternative in time, people, and materials. e. Evaluate the possible range of effectiveness. What is the least effect probable? What is the most effect that could be expected? f. Examine each alternative for undesired side effects. g. Also, examine each alternative for outside benefits. Date: March 2010 Chapter 08 Page 19 of 20
h. Follow-Up: Plans don't prevent accidents. Planned actions do. The difference is follow-up. Often, actions are started but forgotten when materials or people were not available. At times actions are started then found to be impractical. In such cases, new remedial actions need to be determined. Many decisions based on good reasons keep remedial actions from being completed. The danger in all these comes when people assume there is control because a remedial action was planned. Regular follow-up reports tell a manager when control is still less than adequate.
