Which safety equipment should be present in vehicles operating on the airside?

Vehicles operating on the airside must be equipped with essential safety equipment to ensure the safety of both personnel and aircraft. Having fire extinguishers and first aid kits is crucial because airside operations often involve potential hazards, including the risk of fire from fuel or other flammable materials. Fire extinguishers provide a critical means of quickly addressing a fire emergency, potentially preventing larger incidents. First aid kits are equally important, as they enable prompt medical assistance to personnel in case of injuries or medical emergencies that may occur.

While other equipment like reflective tape, GPS systems, and basic tool kits may contribute to operational effectiveness and visibility, they do not provide the same level of safety assurance that fire extinguishers and first aid kits do. This makes the presence of fire-related safety measures and medical support vital components for vehicles operating in such a high-risk environment.
