They are there primarily to protect passengers and staff from a terrorist attack. However, they will also become involved in various incidents at an airport. So, for example, if you have an aggressive passengers being offloaded for being inebriated, then the police may become involved. Or if a passenger is caught shop-lifting from Duty-free, for example, then the police will intervene. ]]> 2021-10-02 11:35:06 UTC https://padlet.com/pauline250/uiuhob6886k82xm8/wish/1785773509 pauline250 https://padlet.com/pauline250/uiuhob6886k82xm8/wish/1785774177 Immigration officers also keep us safe at an airport.

Therefore, Customs Officers perform an important safety role at an airport. ]]> 2021-10-02 11:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pauline250/uiuhob6886k82xm8/wish/1785775854 pauline250 https://padlet.com/pauline250/uiuhob6886k82xm8/wish/1785777116 This is a sniffer dog and here he is being asked to check baggage in the baggage reclaim area. The dog will be trained to identify if a passenger is travelling with illegal drugs. Sniffer dogs are also used at security to sniff for explosives. These dogs are there in an airport to keep everyone safe. ]]> 2021-10-02 11:39:30 UTC https://padlet.com/pauline250/uiuhob6886k82xm8/wish/1785777116 pauline250 https://padlet.com/pauline250/uiuhob6886k82xm8/wish/1785778489 Before passengers come on-board, cabin crew carry out a range of safety and security checks. They check over the whole aircraft to ensure that all of the emergency equipment is on-board and in good working order and to make sure nothing dangerous has been put on-board. The purpose of this activity is to ensure passenger and crew safety. ]]> 2021-10-02 11:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pauline250/uiuhob6886k82xm8/wish/1785778489 pauline250 https://padlet.com/pauline250/uiuhob6886k82xm8/wish/1785824323 Airbridges are commonly found at airports and are an important safety feature. Why is that? Well, the reason airbridges are so useful is that they keep passengers off the ramp. An airport ramp can be a very dangerous place with many vehicles moving around, so if we can keep passengers off the ramp, we are less likely to encounter an accident. ]]> 2021-10-02 12:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/pauline250/uiuhob6886k82xm8/wish/1785824323 pauline250 https://padlet.com/pauline250/uiuhob6886k82xm8/wish/1785825990 If an airbridge is not available, and we have any wheelchair passengers, then we would need to use this vehicle here which is known as an ambulift. An ambulift means we can safely get the wheelchair passenger on-board without the passenger having to be lifted from their chair. Once the ambulift reaches the height of the aircraft door, the passenger can be wheeled directly onto the aircraft. ]]> 2021-10-02 12:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/pauline250/uiuhob6886k82xm8/wish/1785825990
