 Challenges of the „Airport System“
• complicated/complex system, containing
– several process responsible organisations
– several customer-supplier relations, partly nested one
into the others
– interlocked areas of responsibility
• interfaces in the area of safety relevant
infrastructures and support services, specially
Airport Operator and Air Navigation Services
– several participants to the system
– different sets of standards to be applied (ICAO,
EUROCONTROL, EU)
– interorganisational processes
– conflict of objectives with process owners

2. avoidance of system discontinuation and lacks of

responsibility

 What is „HAZID-AIRPORT“?
• Systematic identification, analysis and assessment of
hazards (Preliminary Hazard Analysis)
• setting up and maintaining a Preliminary Hazard
Catalogue per Airport with SMS
• one the base lines for the steering of
– Safety Management Systems of Stakeholders
– active assets of FOCA (Regulation, Approval, Oversight)
• Airports with IFR OPS: Altenrhein, Bern, Les Eplatures,
Genève, Grenchen, Lugano, Sion, Zürich, Buochs
• other Aerodromes to be defined
• clear split of roles between Safety Responsibility
(Stakeholder) and Oversight (FOCA)

 How does „HAZID-AIRPORT“ work?

• Embedding into SMS-Conzept with Stakeholders and

with FOCA
• Risik based and systematic Approach (Warning:
Complexity!)
• documented process
• Transparency between FOCA and other players within
the HAZID-Study circle
• punktual Safety Improvement Actions are executed
anytime when considered necessary

 Summary

• HAZID-AIRPORT as an answer on the „Safety of the

Overall Airport System“ challenge
• recognised methodology
• supporting the initial phase of the Stakeholder‘s SMS
Processes
• common proceeding of Stakeholders and Regulator,
maintaining the defined roles and responsibilities
• organic part of the Safety Management Systems of
Stakeholders and FOCA
• to exclude any misunderstanding: do not wait for HAZID-
AIRPORT, just commence Safety Management now!
