Maintaining a Hazard and Risk Register

In plain language

CAA NZ recommends keeping a living hazard and risk register (such as a Word or Excel sheet) that is regularly updated with input from your pilots and staff to track operational risks and mitigations.

Requirement as structured

CAA NZ advises in AC102-1 that the hazard and risk register should be treated as a living document, updated as hazards and risks change, and that the operator should involve pilots, technical and other staff and, where appropriate, stakeholders and clients in determining appropriate risk controls.

Original regulatory text

The hazard and risk register could be as simple as a word or excel document, recording what is being done to follow the risk management plan. It should be treated as a living document, updated as hazards and risks change. It is important that the operator involves the pilots, technical and other staff and where appropriate, stakeholders and clients, to help determine appropriate risk controls.
