What should you do if you identify an unauthorized person on the ramp?

When encountering an unauthorized person on the ramp, the appropriate response is to follow the protocol of Challenge, Escort, and Report. This approach is designed to ensure safety and security in the airport environment.

Challenging involves approaching the unauthorized individual to determine their intent and identity while observing the situation closely. It is essential to maintain a professional demeanor and assess whether the person poses any threat.

Once the challenge is made and if the individual does not have valid authorization, the next step is to escort them from the area. Ensuring the individual leaves the restricted zone is critical for the safety and security of all personnel and operations on the ramp.

Finally, reporting the incident is necessary for documentation and to notify security or management of the breach. This step ensures that appropriate actions can be taken to prevent future occurrences.

This thorough approach emphasizes the importance of security protocols in maintaining a safe environment on the ramp, where the presence of unauthorized individuals can pose significant risks.
