What action should be taken if an AVOP holder witnesses unsafe behavior?

When an AVOP holder witnesses unsafe behavior, the appropriate action is to report the incident immediately to airport authorities. Reporting is crucial because it ensures that appropriate steps are taken to address the unsafe behavior and prevent potential accidents. Airport authorities are trained to handle such situations effectively and can initiate investigations or corrective actions as necessary.

Immediate reporting allows for timely interventions, which can mitigate risks associated with unsafe behaviors. Delaying the report or documenting the behavior for later may lead to further unsafe incidents, putting others at risk. Similarly, ignoring the behavior could escalate the situation, potentially leading to accidents or injuries that could have been prevented.

By promptly notifying the relevant authorities, AVOP holders contribute to a safer airport environment, supporting overall operational safety and compliance with regulations.
