Risk Management and Aviation Safety – Video Analysis

Aviation safety and accident prevention is everyone’s job in this high-risk area. In air cargo, we have forklifts, K-loaders, and material handling equipment traveling on the flight line. The aircraft, flight line, ramp areas, air cargo terminals, vehicle operations, and all operations are a very dynamic environment. Risk is uncertainty that must be managed. In the Readings and Resources Presentation, we provided information pertaining to risk management and aviation safety.
