4.3 IGOM Risk Assessment

The IGOM Technical Group (TG) has undertaken a risk assessment of airside operation (chapter 3 and 4), to
determine which of the IGOM procedures are considered to be Safety Critical.
The Risk Assessment Matrix and the Safety Severity Levels, as published in the Airport Handling Manual
(AHM), are utilized in this determination. IGOM procedures that fall within the red zone defined as 5A, 5B, 5C,
4A, 4B and 3A were identified as safety critical.
In future the safety operational procedures within the IGOM will be periodically reviewed and evaluated
utilizing the data provided by the industry through Global Aviation Data Management (GADM).
