Human Factor Identified as Key Risk in Air Cargo ULD Safety
ULD Care President Urs Wiesendanger highlights that the human element is the most critical factor in the safety of Unit Load Devices (ULDs) within the air cargo industry. He warns that a ULD is only as secure as the last person who handled it, emphasizing the significant risks posed by improper procedures. To mitigate this, ULD Care is promoting a code of conduct to elevate safety standards across the entire supply chain. The initiative stresses that proper training and adherence to regulations are essential for all personnel. This focus aims to prevent potential aircraft incidents by ensuring every ULD is fit for flight before being loaded.
