The AOA UK Airports Safety Week involves 52 airports who are participating in various safety events and activities to increase awareness of safety and operations across the industry.
Exeter Airport is participating in this event and actively encouraging all staff to take part in as many activities as they are able to. These have included the FOD plod where staff from a range of departments went on a walk to collect any foreign object debris from the apron and taxiway which may have caused a problem for aviation.
A demonstration of safety wear has also been on show with representatives of Eiendals showing the effectiveness of good footwear and gloves
