HSG209 A Legal Argument
The Criminal Health and Safety Law of England and Wales relating to the Management of Contractors when Turning Round Commercial Aircraft
by Mark Snelling
A paper on the affect of the criminal health and safety law of England and Wales on the management of contractors when turning round commercial aircraft. In recent years most airlines operating from England and Wales have outsourced most, and in many cases all, of the activities that form part of the aircraft turnround to contractors. The United Kingdom Health and Safety Executive in the response to continuing poor accident figures and the continuing trend of outsourcing published HSG209 – Aircraft Turnaround to provide guidance to all involved with the turnround of aircraft on their health and safety responsibilities. The paper looks at the laws behind this guidance and attempts to identify what an airline needs to do to comply with the criminal law of England and Wales when turning round its aircraft using contractors.
