TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 101: Best Practices Manual for Working In or Near Airport Movement Areas consists of a best practices database; training tools, aids, and checklists; and a 45-minute video that provide guidance on best practices for a myriad of airport activities.

The guidance is designed to help introduce new employees, tenants, or contractors to the airport environment.

The video, Staying Safe on the Airfield, follows an airport operations supervisor training a new employee by discussing hazards and the appropriate best practices for eliminating or mitigating risks while working in or near the airport movement area. The database, video, and training tools, and aids and checklists are provided on a CD-ROM that is included with the print version of the report.

The CD-ROM is also available for download from TRB’s website as an ISO image. Links to the ISO image and instructions for burning a CD-ROM from an ISO image are provided below.
