Health & Safety
There may be some potential for slippery surfaces around an aircraft once it has been treated with deicing/anti-icing fluid.
The operation of deicing vehicles presents many hazards that must be assessed and managed. The vehicle should be checked for complete operational readiness according to the manufacturer’s instructions before use. The potential for the vehicle or its boom to make contact with the aircraft must be minimized.
The process for deicing/anti-icing aircraft is still very dependent on human operators and involves extensive manual operations outdoors in difficult weather. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to reduce the risk of various operational hazards is unavoidable.
The deicing/anti-icing process is constantly subject to the potential danger of human error. There should be a clear procedure of conduct in case of any incidents or accidents.
A professional attitude in all conditions, operation, and weather elements is the key to complement proper training.
