What type of training must ramp personnel complete before vehicle operation?

Ramp personnel are essential to ensuring the safe and efficient operation of airport ground services, which includes the management of various vehicles used in airport operations. Vehicle operation and safety training is specifically designed to equip personnel with the necessary skills and knowledge to operate vehicles safely on the ramp.

This training covers important aspects such as vehicle handling, maneuvering in tight spaces, adhering to safety protocols, understanding ground markings and signals, and the specific operational procedures relevant to the airport environment. Given the complex and dynamic nature of airport operations, understanding vehicle safety and operational guidelines is crucial to preventing accidents and ensuring the safety of all ground personnel, crew, and passengers.

While first aid and CPR training, customer service training, and loading and unloading protocols are valuable in their own right, they do not specifically address the skills and knowledge required for safe vehicle operation on the ramp.
