Integrated Risk Management (IRM) is essential for effective aviation risk management. The goal is to reduce overall risks within the system, as highlighted in the ICAO Safety Management Manual (Doc 9859). To achieve this, it’s necessary to conduct a thorough assessment of the entire system at the highest level of relevant organizations, such as states, regional bodies, and service providers. This comprehensive evaluation considers the various needs and interdependencies within the functional system.
IRM stands out as a high-level approach that utilizes expert guidance from sector-specific risk management strategies. It aims to provide a well-rounded perspective that contributes to achieving optimal system performance while ensuring safety standards are socially acceptable. By integrating all aspects of risk management, organizations can work towards minimizing risks effectively.
