In the event of a vehicle incident, what is the first action an AVOP holder should take?

In the event of a vehicle incident, the first action an AVOP holder should take is to alert airport authorities. This step is crucial because it ensures that the appropriate response teams, including security personnel and emergency responders, are notified promptly. Immediate notification allows for the assessment of the situation, potential injuries, and appropriate actions to mitigate any risks to safety or security at the airport.

Notifying airport authorities also ensures that an official record of the incident is created, which is essential for liability and insurance purposes. It is important for all personnel operating in and around the airside area to follow established protocols for incident response to maintain the safety and security of the airport environment.
