##### AMC1 ARGH.OVS.300(a);(b);(c) Oversight *ED Decision 2025/006/R* **EVALUATION OF A GH ORGANISATION’S SAFETY RISK MANAGEMENT** (a) As part of the oversight scope, the competent authority should evaluate the GH organisation’s safety risk management process and its capability to identify hazards, assess risks and apply effective mitigation measures. The process and capabilities should be identifiable within the GH organisation’s management system. (b) As part of the continuing oversight of a GH organisation, the competent authority should also remain satisfied with the effectiveness of the organisation’s safety risk management process. (c) The competent authority should establish a methodology for evaluating the GH organisation’s safety risk management process. The evaluation should be considered positive if the GH organisation demonstrates its competence and capability to: (1) understand the hazards and their consequences for its activities; (2) assess the safety risks related to the hazards identified; (3) be clear on where those hazards may exceed acceptable safety risk limits; (4) identify and implement mitigation measures to minimise or remove the safety risks, which could be reflected, for example, in the following: (i) applying effective operational procedures for the provision of the GH services subject to the hazards identified; (ii) assessing the competence and continued competence of its personnel to perform their duties and implementing any necessary training, conducting adequate recurrent assessment and retraining of GH personnel and ensuring the availability of sufficient personnel for GH duties; (iii) equipping the GSE with proximity sensors or applying equivalent controls through procedures to prevent aircraft damage.
