This airport ground handling safety audit checklist helps supervisors assess baggage and ramp teams for safe, compliant operations. It covers PPE and attire, visible airport ID, adequate staffing, safe approach to aircraft, and correct use of ground support equipment including speed limits, safety rails, brakes, chocks, and maintaining safe distances. Steps include cone placement, banksman procedures, belt loader handrails, inspecting holds, bungees, nets, and clips, and removing FOD. Loading is verified against LIR instructions, with proper bag handling, counting, and label checks, and reconciliation to LID/LOADSHEET. It includes LIR signing protocol, post-load hold checks, handling MLG wheels with wheely wooden disk, assisting with handbags and passenger marshalling, following dispatcher instructions during bag searches, and removing cones only after GSE is clear.
