Introduction
The importance of Ground Staff receiving Human Factors training is increasingly being understood and in some cases, being required as part of the effective management of competency within the ramp environment. From September 2017 ISAGO accreditation requires ramp staff to undergo such training.
Ramp accidents cost major airlines worldwide at least US$10 billion a year, the data indicates. These accidents affect airport operations, result in personnel injuries, and damage aircraft, facilities and ground-support equipment.
The Training is designed to raise awareness of all organisational elements of Ramp Safety and to consider the various challenges which face us both directly and indirectly.
The delegate will understand the exposure created by Human Factor considerations and will receive familiarization regarding best practice safety procedures on the ramp in order to create safety awareness.
The primary goal of Aircraft Ramp Safety and Ramp Human Factors Training is to create a positive environment which will help to lower turnaround and Layover.
In addition to ensure effective management on a continuous basis together with the development of effective ways by which mitigations may be developed to lower the existing exposure.
Who is the Course for?
All personnel with duties and/or responsibilities in the Airport Ramp Environment, Airline Ops Staff, and Quality Assurance Staff. Also of Interest to persons working in companies with associated Ramp responsibilities for example Catering & Cleaning Companies
