Q: Which specific elements must be added to the awareness training for personnel performing tasks related to fuelling operations, beyond the common elements for all ground handling staff?

In addition to the elements for all GH personnel, fuelling operations personnel must receive training on: fuel knowledge and basic safety, bonding, public protection, fire classification and extinguisher types, control of access to storage areas, fire safety and misfuelling prevention; regular testing and checks of fuel, hoses and electrical bonding; procedures for ensuring fuel quality in storage or prior to refuelling; manoeuvring of elevating platforms; securing the fuel truck to prevent movement during fuelling; walkaround of the fuel vehicle before moving; fire extinguishers including hand-held fire extinguisher training; operation of fuel truck or other equipment used for refuelling/defuelling; aerodromes' local procedures; human factors including elements of enhancing situational awareness; and additional elements necessary for fuelling supervisors.

Q: What is the minimum recommended content for awareness training on safety in turnaround activities on the apron during aircraft refuelling and defuelling for all ground handling personnel?

For all GH personnel performing tasks around the aircraft at the same time during turnaround, the training should cover: the work environment and the importance of situational awareness; the dangers of fuelling, including what can go wrong during refuelling (e.g., ground damage or incidents involving hydrant pits or fuel trucks); fuel spillage; the fuelling safety zone; how to stop a fuelling vehicle if the operator is incapacitated; and the emergency stop button.

Q: Which safety features must ground handling personnel be trained on to respond to fuelling emergencies?

Ground handling personnel must be trained on how to stop a fuelling vehicle if the operator is incapacitated and on the emergency stop button.

Q: What procedures must fuelling operations personnel be trained on to ensure fuel quality?

Fuelling operations personnel must be trained on procedures for ensuring fuel quality in storage or prior to refuelling, as appropriate, and on regular testing and checks of fuel, hoses and electrical bonding.
