Airport personnel must have a clear, consistent understanding of the term hazard. Many air- ports in the early stages of SRM implementation use hazard synonymously with the term risk; however, these are different although related terms. A hazard must exist for the airport to be at risk. A hazard is defined as any existing or potential condition that can lead to injury, illness, or death to people; damage to or loss of a system, equipment, or property; or damage to the envi- ronment. A hazard is a condition that is a prerequisite of an accident or incident. A hazard might or might not result in a situation of high risk. (Various sources)
Airport personnel need to learn the difference between a hazard and the risks posed by a haz- ard. The SRM process functions effectively only when the organization actively identifies con- ditions or potential conditions that can result in undesirable or harmful outcomes; the airport identifies hazards, then assesses and mitigates the risks.
