Airside Safety Course

As of 19 September 2016, for the issuance/renewal of a red or green ID card, participation in the Airside Safety course is mandatory for all airport operators.

The courses shall be available, as specified below, as of 1 September 2016.

As part of the process for adapting to the requirements of Regulation (EU) of the European Commission no. 139/2014 on airports, with specific reference to the staff Safety Training aspects, a basic course has been prepared entitled “Airside Safety”.

The course is aimed at all airport staff authorised to access the airside area, that is, those in possession, exclusively, of a RED or GREEN airport entry ID card.

The aim of the course, in line with the legislative requirements of Regulation 139/14 and its supporting EASA documentation, is to raise awareness amongst all operators of the risks resulting from the circulation of vehicles within the airport's airside areas.

Below is a list of topics:

• General concepts: “Let's get to know the airport”
• Aircraft features
• The main airside risks
• Operational Safety with aircraft taxiways (apron)
• Operational Safety in the manoeuvring area
• The Safety Management System
• Safety Promotion and Safety Notices

The course, which lasts approximately 2 hours, can be provided free of charge as follows:

WARNING

As of 26 June 2017, a joint Airside Safety course for both airports, Fiumicino and Ciampino will be required, provided in the modes specified above.
