Catering Ramp Safety Observation Checklist
This checklist supports safe, compliant airline catering operations on the ramp. It guides teams through PPE and vehicle checks, safe approach to aircraft after engines shut down with chocks and cones in place, and correct use of stabilisers and guardrails near the fuselage. It covers BA door opening and closing procedures, careful transfer of catering equipment in varied weather, and safe departure practices including lookouts and guides when reversing. It reinforces low-speed driving, proper parking away from fueling zones and aircraft, and no‑smoking rules to reduce risk and protect aircraft and crew.
