o Facilitate hazard identification, risk assessment and management;
o Monitor the implementation of actions taken to mitigate risks, as listed in the safety action plan, unless action follow-up is addressed by the compliance monitoring function;
o Provide periodic reports on safety performance to the safety review board (the functions of the safety review board are those defined in AMC1 S-1.CAMO.200(a)(1));
