Introduction
The programme “Aviation Risk Management Training: Risk Assessment and Mitigation” develops professional practice in Aviation. It connects the subject with workplace challenges by examining existing evidence and practices and choosing methods appropriate to the organization and its available resources.
The learning progresses from training design and measurement of learning transfer to maintenance planning, work orders, and execution measurement, with practical work on aviation operations, safety management, and service quality, risk assessment, controls, and response, occupational safety, risk assessment, and prevention. Participants prepare outputs to support workplace application and review the quality and results of implementation.
Learning objectives
- Design a training intervention that begins with a performance gap and ends with evidence of application in an application related to “Aviation Risk Management Training: Risk Assessment and Mitigation”.
- Analyze an aviation or airport process and connect its safety to coordination, data, and controls.
- Prepare a risk register connecting causes, consequences, controls, and treatment responsibilities.
- Prepare a work risk assessment and prevention and response plan based on the hierarchy of controls.
- Build a maintenance plan and work order connecting asset criticality, resources, and documentation.
Learning areas
1. Training Design and Measurement of Learning Transfer
- Analyze performance gaps at organizational, job, and individual levels, and verify that training addresses a cause related to knowledge or skill.
- Write observable learning objectives, define entry requirements, and link each objective to a training activity and assessment evidence.
- Build a sequence of content, activities, and practical cases, balancing explanation, experimentation, and feedback within the available time.
- Select suitable learning methods, face-to-face delivery, and digital learning, and ensure accessibility, material quality, and delivery instructions.
- Design pre- and post-learning assessments and a follow-up plan with the line manager to measure application and identify additional support needs. The application examines a case related to “Aviation Risk Management Training: Risk Assessment and Mitigation”.
2. Aviation Operations, Safety Management, and Service Quality
- Define the operation type, participants, and responsibilities of the operator, airport, maintenance, and ground services, referring to the relevant regulatory framework.
- Analyze work handovers, timing, information, and human factors, identifying error and coordination points affecting operational safety.
- Apply the concepts of safety policy, risk management, safety assurance, and safety promotion to a training case relevant to the subject.
- Select data and indicators for monitoring reliability, compliance, and service quality, checking data confidentiality and the validity of trend interpretations.
- Prepare an improvement or response scenario at the planning and simulation level, following operating manuals and recognizing that training does not authorize technical work.
3. Risk Assessment, Controls, and Response
- Define the work context, objectives, and assessment boundaries, and distinguish the risk source, potential event, and effects on results.
- Gather risks from processes, data, past incidents, and interviews with responsible staff, and document causes and existing controls.
- Estimate likelihood and impact using stated criteria, and review control effectiveness to determine residual risk levels.
- Select a response proportionate to the risks, resources, and authority, and specify the owner, deadline, and early warning indicator.
- Test a scenario involving changing circumstances, update the risk register, and present material risks and required decisions to the appropriate authority.
4. Occupational Safety, Risk Assessment, and Prevention
- Identify task hazards, exposed people, and site conditions, gathering information from observations, records, and equipment instructions.
- Estimate the risk level and select appropriate controls from elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment.
- Review work procedures, permits, isolation, communication, and supervision according to the task, and define responsibility for stopping unsafe work.
- Analyze an incident or near miss using facts and evidence, examining systemic causes and failed controls beyond blaming individuals.
- Prepare a tabletop emergency exercise and an inspection, awareness, and follow-up plan, assigning field execution to qualified personnel under approved procedures.
5. Maintenance Planning, Work Orders, and Execution Measurement
- Inventory assets and build a hierarchy, coding system, technical data, and maintenance history, classifying criticality by safety, service, and cost.
- Select a mix of preventive, condition-based, and corrective maintenance, connecting the decision to failure modes, data, and manufacturer instructions.
- Plan the work order's scope, resources, materials, time, isolation, and permits, and define readiness conditions before scheduling.
- Organize schedules, shutdowns, and equipment handovers between operations and maintenance, recording actual work, causes, parts, and time.
- Analyze backlog, recurrence, plan compliance, and reliability, and propose documented adjustments to maintenance tasks and their frequency.
Practical outputs
- A needs analysis, concise learning package, and application evaluation plan.
- An aviation process map, risk register, and indicator and follow-up plan.
- A risk register, control matrix, and prioritized treatment plan.
- A task risk assessment and an inspection, training, and response plan.
- A maintenance plan, work schedule, work order card, and monitoring indicators.
Who should attend
- Engineers, technicians, supervisors and operations staff whose work relates to the programme subject.
- Managers and teams working in aviation, according to their practical responsibilities.
- Professionals responsible for applying the outputs of “Aviation Risk Management Training: Risk Assessment and Mitigation” within their organizations.
