14 Applying an SMS Approach to Wildlife Hazard Management • Minimizing exposures to hazards and risks through review of wildlife management mitigations and successes, and through tracking, recording, and managing high risk species and behaviors. • Encouraging and managing reporting of wildlife strikes by staff and tenants, and encouraging continuous improvements through formal development and monitoring of WHAs, WHSVs, and WHMPs.

The Safety Management System and Wildlife Hazard Management 15 • Once baseline data have been collected, metrics can be established to access, analyze, and trend activities. Most airport staff and wildlife managers are aware of the most significant wildlife concerns at and surrounding their airport; consequently, initial metrics should focus on known problems.

16 Applying an SMS Approach to Wildlife Hazard Management To effectively prioritize and mitigate risks, it is important to develop a consistent, standardized risk analysis method. The definitions and categories used to classify risk should be applied consistently to all safety risks within the airport's system; for example, classifications should be used consistently for operations and wildlife Safety Assessments (SAs)
