The Impact of Returning to Work in a SARS Environment

John Beirne
Although many sectors have either returned to work or are returning to work, they would have had to investigate methods to prepare the working environment to limit the spread of COVID.  On behalf of IET Safety Panel, I have been undertaking some research with regard to some of the best practice that may have been adopted to address the spread of COVID amongst the workforce.  Some of the findings are in the attached document.  Please feel free to read.  However, this document is not policy, it is there as guidance material.

If you have any additional practices that you wish to share please let me know.  Likewise, an area that still needs to be addressed is 'How to manage Skill Fade'?  If you have any thoughts or experience on the subject, please let me know.


Kind regards,


John

    Hi Lisa,


    You are quite correct in that flying is not akin to riding a bicycle!  Aircrews are required to maintain currency and or undergo training to ensure their skills are up to speed.  The CAA has issued guidance https://www.caa.co.uk/Our-work/Newsroom/COVID-19-guidance-for-commercial-and-general-aviation/ and there are several documents to peruse.  However, most of the commercial aircrew I have chatted with, have been able to maintain their currency as the airlines have rotated the crews.  If the aircraft was not flying PAX it may have been on a freight run.  One of my friends is in and out of furlough as they rotate him to maintain his currency and he has also had to undergo sim training.


    Aircrews are to maintain currency and undergo the appropriate training and certification.  When I used to take my bike out after the winter, I used to ask the police motor bike rider to check a group of us out, to iron out any bad skills or shows us new ways.


    Kind regards,


    John
