Section 741-060-0076 - Safety Risk Management Process

(1) The RTA shall develop and document as a part of its PTASP a Safety Risk Management Process to identify, assess, mitigate and resolve hazards for all elements of its public transportation system, including the engineering and construction phase of any new system extension or modification.

(2) Each RTA that operates a RFGPTS shall use a Hazard Risk Index to determine classification of a hazard in terms of severity and probability. The RTA may develop its own Hazard Risk Index or utilize already established standards. Each RTA shall submit their initial Hazard Risk Index and subsequent revisions to SSOA for review and approval.

(3) The Safety Risk Management Process must, at a minimum:

(a) Establish methods or processes to report, identify and assess the safety risks and consequences of identified hazards;

(b) Use, as a source for hazard identification, data and information provided by an oversight authority and the FTA;

(c) Include an assessment of the consequences and severity of the hazard including existing mitigations and prioritization of the hazards based on the safety risk;

(d) Establish methods or processes to identify mitigations or strategies necessary as a result of the agency's safety risk assessment to reduce the likelihood and severity of the consequences.

(e) Develop and implement a safety assurance process to monitor its operations to identify safety risk mitigations that may be ineffective, inappropriate or were not implemented as intended.

(f) The RTA will report hazard identification and resolution activities in the RTA monthly report to the SSOA. The monthly report must also include hazards identified by the RTA, and those identified by the SSOA as a result of inspections, investigations, audits or other reviews and observations.
