What should you do if you observe a foreign object on the ramp?

Reporting a foreign object on the ramp immediately and removing it if it is safe to do so is crucial for ensuring the safety of all personnel and aircraft in the area. Foreign objects can pose significant hazards, such as causing damage to aircraft or injuring personnel.

By reporting the object right away, ramp workers enable safety procedures to be followed, which are in place to manage such situations. Additionally, if it is safe to remove the object, taking action promptly can prevent potential accidents or incidents, therefore maintaining a secure and efficient working environment. Addressing the issue directly helps to uphold operational safety standards.

Other options may neglect the immediate risk associated with foreign objects, putting ground crew and aircraft at unnecessary risk, and therefore do not align with best safety practices.
