Operational Safety on Airports During Construction

This PDH online course is a part of the Civil course category. This course provides guidelines for operational safety on airports during construction.

Airports are complex environments, and procedures and conditions associated with construction activities often affect aircraft operations and can jeopardize operational safety. Safety considerations are paramount and may make operational impacts unavoidable. However, careful planning, scheduling, and coordination of construction activities can minimize disruption of normal aircraft operations and avoid situations that compromise the airport’s operational safety.

The engineers, project managers and airport operators must understand how construction activities and aircraft operations affect one another to be able to develop an effective plan to complete the project.

This course is intended for use by civil engineers, health and safety managers, project managers, construction professionals and others interested in learning about operational safety during airport construction.
