Safety is the state in which the possibility of harm to persons

or property damage is reduced to, and maintained at or

below, an acceptable level through a continuing process

of hazard identification and risk management

Module N° 2

Provision of services require a constant balance between:

Production goals (maintaining regular aerodrome operations during a runway construction project)

Safety goals (maintaining existing margins of safety in aerodrome operations during runway construction project)

This brings about a potential dilemma for management
