Lets Look at a Mishap from FY 07 and we
will apply the six step of ORM.
1 July 07
Incident: Pilot Struck his head on a non-moving prop while
Fueling the aircraft. Pilot sustained only a few stitches.
Step 1 Identify the hazards:
The purpose of step 1 is to identify as many hazards as
possible.
Flammable Liquid, Is a Ladder needed? The condition of the
aircraft foot steps, Grounding of Aircraft, Propeller.
Other aircraft. Ground traffic.
Step 2 Assess The Risks
Risk is the probability and severity of loss from
exposure to the hazard.
 Is there anyone smoking?
 Is the ladder in good condition?
 Is the grounding wire in good working order?
 Is the prop in a vertical or horizontal position?
 Any aircraft taxing close by?
 Any other ground traffic?
 Does the aircraft have steps?
Step 3: Analyze Risk Control Measures.
Investigate specific strategies and tools that
reduce, mitigate, or eliminate the risk.
 No smoking
 Inspect ladder before use if needed.
 Inspect aircraft steps to be firm and free of
oil/grease.
 Align prop before disembarking aircraft.
Step 4: Make Control Decisions
After controls have been selected to eliminate hazards or
reduce their risk, determine the level of residual risk for
the selected tasking, mission and or course of action.
The aircrew member watching over the pilot as a
spotter will reduce the risk greatly!
Turning the prop to the vertical position before
Embarking aircraft.
Step 5: Implement Risk Controls.
Once the risk control decision is made, assets
must be made available to implement specific
controls.
Spotter will watch pilot fueling the airplane and
ground traffic.
The prop is not to be touched on the ground.
Step 6: Supervise and Review.
Risk management is a process that continues
through out the life cycle of the system, mission,
or activity .
The spotter will greatly reduce risk.
Call fuel truck and go have lunch!
Working safely may get old, but so do
those who practice it.
