Appendix C Sample Safety Risk Register for Safety Risk Management and Safety Assurance

The Sample Safety Risk Register³⁷ for safety risk management and safety assurance, will support public transportation agencies in the evaluation and documentation of the safety risks associated with the potential consequences of identified hazards. There are various tools for evaluating safety risks and recording the results of Safety Risk Management activities, this is just one example. The Sample Safety Risk Register includes the following information:

• 
  Table 1: Hazard-Risk Register – This table provides an example of the information that can be captured by a public transportation agency during the analysis of hazards and their potential consequences, the safety risk evaluation process, and the identification of mitigations to reduce safety risk to acceptable levels.
  
• 
  Table 2: Transition to Safety Assurance – This table provides an example of how the mitigations identified during safety risk management activities can be recorded and “handed off” for tracking through public transportation agency safety assurance monitoring activities.
  
• 
  Tables 3-5: Safety Risk Tables and Index – The sample tables would help a public transportation agency determine and record the probability and severity of the worst, but credible, potential consequences of a hazard. A sample matrix is also provided to support an agency’s indexing of safety risk within its criteria for safety risk acceptability.
