I am having to write a risk assessment(RA) for the hangar which has inside a bunged fuel (Jet A1) storeage tank. The helicopter is moved into/out of the hangar on a aluminium platform on rails by a petrol engined quad bike.
Refuelling takes place outside but husbandry tasks (cleaning) take place inside.
My question is;--
has anyone carried out a RA on their hangar. If so, have you any suggestions on the format or contents of the RA.
Next thought;--
At what point in time do I start this assessment as there are landing and taking off of helicopters. Does the RA begin with the opening of the hangar doors up to the time that a helicopter takes-off from the ground and begin when the helicopter lands until the doors are finally closed or does it extend beyond this time scale?
Is there a requirement to RA flying?
