Module Title:Security Risk Management in an Operational Environment
Language of Instruction:English
Credits: 5
NFQ Level:7
Module Delivered In 1 programme(s)
Teaching & Learning Strategies: A combination of methods including lectures, discussions, case studies, practical scenarios, readings and self-directed learning will be used.
Module Aim: This module is designed to assist and enhance the students understanding and awareness of their responsibilities for safety risk management when operating in an aviation operational environment.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to:
LO1 Identify the security risks that arise in an aviation operating environment.
LO2 Perform risk assessments to identify the probability of negative outcomes and the severity of most likely negative outcomes using risk assessment matrices.
LO3 Describe the control measures to put in place to reduce identified security risks.
LO4 Demonstrate their competence in using the ICS to apply risk analysis/management techniques in the course of managing a practical simulation of an aviation security incident.
