Safety risk assessment is a process that includes the determining the likelihood and severity of a potential consequence of a hazard (PTASP Regulation). A thorough risk assessment includes the ability for an agency to consider existing mitigations to ascertain if a safety risk is adequately addressed or if additional action is necessary. Safety risk assessment supports decision-making and helps an agency prioritize hazards and mitigations based on safety risk.
