<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n“By now FBO operators should be conscious that everyone’s\nperceptions and attitudes with regard to risk have changed dramatically,”\nsaid AviationManuals CEO Mark Baier. “While it is always important to\noperate to the highest standards, making customers and employees comfortable in\ntimes like these has become paramount due to COVID-19, so we wanted to offer\nsome enhancements people can put in place.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the ongoing pandemic, FBOs have hopefully begun\nexamining the policies and procedures they have in place surrounding health and\nsanitation. AviationManuals, in order to help, is making some recommendations\nand providing a Whitepaper on how to get the process started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Assess policies and procedures in place.<\/li>
- Research industry guidance from reputable\nsources, like the CDC, WHO and NATA.<\/li>
- Consult with local airport staff.<\/li>
- Focus on personal hygiene.<\/li>
- Practice evolving standards for social\ndistancing.<\/li>
- Increasing the sanitation schedule.<\/li>
- Have workers wear gloves and masks.<\/li>
- Let those who can, work from home.<\/li>
- Check first aid kits for sufficiency.<\/li>
- Include your team in updates and welcome\nsuggestions for compliance.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
“In addition, take the opportunity to use your FBO’s\nSafety Management System to perform risk assessments,” Baier added.\n“Also, update your FBOs Emergency Response Plan with a particular focus on\nmedical emergencies. With activity down, it’s a great time for dry runs of your\nERPs.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
