A survey of the modes of transport involved should be carried out to identify and assess the presence, type and integrity of compressed air systems. It may be necessary to liaise with the...

An assessment should be made of the weight of the object and its stability. How it has come to rest and the topography of the incident scene may contribute to its potential movement. The object...

An assessment should be made of the weight of the contents and their stability. How the contents have come to rest and the topography of the incident scene may contribute to their potential...

Auxiliary power units and batteries vary in size and voltage, and will be located in numerous locations in modes of transport. There may also be specialist electrical installations to power...

This control measure should be read in conjunction with the control measures for the hazard: Flammable or explosive atmosphere   Identifying the design and construction materials...

This control measure should be read in conjunction with Effective and co-ordinated use of rescue tools   If it is possible to determine the design and construction of the mode of...

The design, construction and materials used in some modes of transport mean that if an impact occurs they are less likely to deform. If deformation has taken place, it will indicate the high...

If structural components in large modes of transport need to be moved or removed, they may be of significant weight. Personnel, casualties and other emergency responders should not be in the...

If fibre-reinforced composite materials or machine-made mineral fibres (MMMF) are or could be damaged, the application of fine water sprays or firefighting foam may reduce the risk of airborne...

This control measure should be read in conjunction with Evacuation and shelter   Consideration should be given to the evacuation of potentially large numbers of people from the...

This control measure should be read in conjunction with Preserve evidence for investigation   Only personnel required to deal with the incident should access the site. Movement of...

Aerodromes in the UK fall into two categories: Certificated aerodromes that are within the scope of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) – their website contains a list of...

Under the enabling fire and rescue acts, responsibility for the incident lies with the local authority fire and rescue service. However, in practical terms the aerodrome rescue and fire...

Rendezvous points (RVPs) are located at all aerodromes, at which responding fire and rescue services should attend. If the incident is airside, personnel will be met by aerodrome staff to...

To minimise the possibility of ignition, the scene of the incident should made a ‘no smoking or vaping’ and ‘no naked light’ area. Other sources of ignition, such as radios, mobile...

A responsible person may be nominated by the relevant agency or authority and should have the required competence and knowledge to provide timely and accurate information to emergency...

Due to the potential hazards of aircraft undercarriages, personnel should only approach if it is essential to do so. If approach goes ahead following a risk assessment, the minimum number of...

Familiarisation with evacuation slides Fire and rescue services should consider regularly providing personnel with the opportunity to gain familiarisation with aircraft evacuation slides....

The presence, location and condition of an aircraft ballistic recovery system needs to be assessed from the exterior of the aircraft. If signage on the aircraft does not provide any indication...
