COURSE OVERVIEW

Airside Safety is critical for ensuring safe operations in areas where helicopters and fixedwing aircraft support offshore platforms, remote drilling sites and refinery logistics. Strict aviation safety protocols, risk assessments and regulatory compliance are essential to prevent accidents during takeoff, landing and ground handling. Key safety measures include runway and helipad inspections, fuel quality control, aircraft maintenance, and emergency response planning. Personnel working in airside areas must follow strict personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, radio communication protocols and hazard awareness training to mitigate risks such as jet blast, rotor wash and fuel spills. Adhering to ICAO, IATA and industry-specific aviation safety standards, along with regular drills and audits, ensures safe and efficient air operations, minimizing downtime and enhancing logistical support for oil and gas facilities.
