It is widely known that airports due to their character of everyday operations constitute a suitable environment for performing various safety related events. A large number of objects conducting series of operations within limited space and time increases potential for a particular accident or incident realization. According to their structure, accidents or incidents typical for airports in most cases combine mutually related negative influences that create preconditions and precursors (factors) for particular safety events. The aim of this paper is to provide a clear view on the organizational factors which represent integral elements of airport safety management and also to offer the solution for their better utilization for more effective identification and prevention of risk at the airport. The study takes into account different aspects of airport operations, management, decision-making processes, process monitoring, etc.
