Pandemic
Protection
COVID-19 has put a spotlight on personal protective equipment and has
introduced new gear and practices that are now part of ramp workers' daily
lives in the pandemic-era.
By Walker Jaroch
A
year ago, COVID-19 turned the world on
its head overnight. What was the " new
normal " is now just normal as the world
enters the second year of the crisis.
Part of that normal is personal
protective equipment (PPE), which
has become a household term.
For those who make their living on
the ramp, PPE is nothing new - from
hearing protection to high visibility vests - the gear has always been
there. What wasn't there before were
the masks, electrostatic sprayers and more that
will likely continue to be utilized long after the
pandemic is gone.
Before COVID-19, Mary Marietta, executive
vice-president of human resources for GAT
Airline Ground Support, says workers utilized
PPE within the scope of their jobs, with lavatory
agents having the most extensive equipment -
face shields, gloves and jackets and coats that
repel waste. Now, the scope's grown for everyone.
" We've significantly changed our approach,
our metrics, " Marietta says of their post-COVID
Masks have become a must for all members of PrimeFlight's staff.
