Aviation aggression by passengers, both on board and on the ground, often stems from stress, alcohol, and personal issues. Strict enforcement of rules, better stress management support, and clear communication can mitigate such incidents. Training for staff to handle conflicts and limiting alcohol consumption are essential steps. Increased penalties for offenders can act as a deterrent. #AviationSafety #PassengerBehavior #StressManagement #FlightEtiquette #TravelSafety

When I served in the Army, it was mandatory to have a ground guide whenever you were backing a vehicle up. Do any of my connections have that policy in their organization? Is it just not feasible due to manpower, the high number of times equipment is backed up, low frequency risk event, etc.? At what point will an organization decide to make it feasible? After one person is killed? I know there is a lot of great technology out there these days that can help mitigate this type of event. Curious on your thoughts. Thanks! #safety #hse

Unruly passengers are defined as individuals who, from the point of closure of a civil aircraft's door prior to takeoff until its reopening after landing, engage in various prohibited acts. These acts include assault, intimidation, or willful recklessness that jeopardizes order or safety, as well as interference with crew duties or obstruction that impairs their ability to perform their tasks. Additionally, unruly behavior encompasses willful damage to the aircraft, its equipment, or associated structures, posing risks to the safety of the aircraft and its occupants. Further, communication of false information that endangers the safety of the aircraft during flight and disobedience of lawful commands aimed at ensuring safe, orderly, and efficient operations are also considered forms of unruly conduct. #civilaviation

Installing a fire sprinkler system is a practical way to keep people and firefighters safe from the risks of fires. Reports show that civilian fire death and injury rates are lower when fire sprinkler systems are present compared to reported fires in structures with no AES, and the rate of firefighter injuries was also lower when sprinklers were present.

Walked into a restricted area wearing flip flops and dies at major airport… 3 words - Access Control Theats Massive liability in negligence claims far more expensive than the cost of doing the right thing, spending in the right places, and not on the cheap.
