Cm - Module 3 - Airport Construction Safety Programs

Front 1

What are examples of construction related activities that could cause safety hazards, security issues and a disruption to normal airport activities?

Back 1

- Numerous personnel working on the airfield that typically are not familiar with an airport environment which can lead to security issues as they aren’t as familiar with airport security requirements;

- Changes to nature and location of the construction activities;

- Delays due to weather and operational issues;

- The operations of large vehicles that can become an obstruction to flight operations or interfere with navigational aids to aircraft.

Front 2

What are some construction activities related to airport access gates and fencing that might cause security/safety issues and a disruption to normal airport activities?

Back 2

- Temporary perimeter fencing in place of permanent fencing:

- The relocation of fencing throughout the duration of the project;

- Temporary security personnel staffing temporary airfield gates;

Front 3

Per Part 139, what are the airport operator's responsibilities in terms of identifying, marking, and lighting, construction and other unserviceable areas on the airport?

Back 3

- Mark and, if appropriate, light each construction andunserviceable area that is on or adjacent to any movement area

- Mark and light each itemof construction equipment and each construction roadway that may affect the safe movement ofaircraft

- Any area adjacent to a NAVAID that, if traversed, could cause derogationof the signal or failure.

Front 4

Per Part 139, what must the airport operator do prior to construction for avoiding damage to existing utilities,cables, wires, conduits, pipelines, or other underground facilities?

Back 4

Part 139 certificate holders must provide procedures, such as areview of all appropriate utility plans before construction

Front 5

During the daily construction inspection, what tasks should be considered in relation to stockpiled material and construction materials?

Back 5

Ensure they are properly stored and are not left in safety or movement areas; keep them from being moved by wind, jet blast, or prop wash

Front 6

During the daily construction inspection, what tasks should be considered in relation to construction equipment and barricades?

Back 6

- Ensure conscruction equipment is marked, lit,and parked clear of safety areas and all imaginary surfaces listed in FAR Part 77;

- Ensure construction barricades are properly positioned to define the limits ofconstruction and hazardous areas, and, if barricades are lighted, check to ensure lights areworking properly and are positioned correctly;

Front 7

During the daily construction inspection, what tasks should be considered in relation to construction adjacent to movement areas?

Back 7

Ensure areas are identified withconspicuous marking and lighting;

Front 8

During the daily construction inspection, what tasks should be considered in relation to debris and FOD?

Back 8

Ensure it is continuously being picked up aroundconstruction areas;

Front 9

During the daily construction inspection, what tasks should be considered in relation to NOTAMs?

Back 9

Check daily during construction projects to ensure they accurately reflect theconditions of the airport;

Front 10

During the daily construction inspection, what tasks should be considered in relation to open trenches and close surfaces?

Back 10

- Check for open trenches in the safety areas or adjacent to movement areas;

- Verify that closed taxiways or runways are properly marked and lit;

Front 11

During the daily construction inspection, what tasks should be considered in relation to operation of lighting, signs, markings and NAVAIDS?

Back 11

- Check daily in areas adjacent to construction before theconstruction crews depart for the day.

- In particular, ensure that mandatory instructionsigns remain lit with the associated runway lights, even on taxiways that have been closedfor construction;

- Report and monitor any dangerous condition created by construction activity,including damage

Front 12

What are some factors that should be considered during continuous inspections of construction areas?

Back 12

- Unauthorized use of runways, taxiways, and aprons

- Conditions that may result in runway incursions

- Construction equipment operated in ILS critical areas without FAA coordination

- Perimeter gates left open and unattended, unlocked construction vehicles, and personnel not following access and escort procedures;

- Construction vehicles not properly marked

- Detection and removal of foreign object debris

(FOD)

- Confusing or missing signs, markings, or lighting

- Barricades and lighting
