What happens to vehicle operators who do not comply with high visibility clothing requirements?

Vehicle operators who do not comply with high visibility clothing requirements can be fined as a consequence of their non-compliance. High visibility clothing is essential in the airside environment to ensure the safety of all personnel and to enhance their visibility to others, particularly in high-traffic areas where aircraft and ground vehicles operate.

Failure to wear proper high visibility attire increases the risk of accidents, as unmarked vehicle operators can be hard to spot among moving aircraft and ground equipment. The imposition of fines serves as a deterrent, encouraging adherence to safety regulations and promoting an overall culture of safety within the airport environment.

While other consequences such as warnings or loss of airside access are certainly methods used by authorities to enforce safety regulations, the issuance of fines directly addresses the failure to comply with specific safety gear requirements and reinforces the importance of maintaining visibility in operational areas. This approach prioritizes safety and accountability among vehicle operators at the airport.
