Risk Assessment Procedure in Apron Work

Individual operators’ safety observations are not shared systematically. No method is available for total risk level determination in an apron environment.

Finavia establishes a risk assessment method that is common to all operators at Finavia’s airports and assumes the coordinator’s role in matters related to overall apron safety.

An airport can be regarded as a workplace of mutual hazards and therefore needs a body that assumes overall responsibility for safety management. A common risk assessment method shall in particular look at the simultaneous use of those aprons that have overlapping equipment restraint areas.
