From page 34...
... Based on the synthesis study survey, no distinct safety management trends or practices emerged with regard to airport size, location, or management oversight. Many of the airports have introduced ramp safety programs through both informal and structured committees and meetings, ramp inspection and collaborative foreign object debris/damage programs, citation and education initiatives, and safety training.
From page 35...
... RAMP SAFETY TRAINING Because no national or centralized incident and accident data repository exists, it is unclear whether changes to ramp programs such as increased training or improved situational awareness result in reduced incidents and accidents. Nonetheless, based on the synthesis surveys and the review conducted, additional training has been identified as a means to reduce accidents and incidents on the ramp.
