Foreign Object Debris Foreign Object Debris (FOD) at airports has the potential to cause damage to aircraft engines and in turn can have a devastating effect on safety. All aerodromes should have active FOD prevention programs and all airside staff should be encouraged to look out for and retrieve any foreign objects before they can become a safety hazard.

Safety Management System An SMS provides a systematic way to identify hazards and control risks while maintaining assurance that these risk controls are effective. As with all management systems, a safety management system provides for goal setting, planning, and measuring performance. A safety management system is woven into the fabric of an organisation and becomes part of the culture. Tool Box Talk: Safety Management System (SMS). Webinar: CASA Aerodrome Inspectors –Their roles and responsibilities.

Ramp Safety Ground Operations involves all aspects of aircraft handling at airports as well as aircraft movement around the aerodrome, except when on active runways. The safety challenges of ground operations arise in part, directly from those operations; for example, ensuring that aircraft are not involved in collisions and that the jet efflux from large aircraft does not hazard small ones. Tool Box Talk: Ramp Safety and Ground Operations – A shared responsibility. Additional Safety Information: Reporting an incident to ATSB – What do you need to know?
