Bulletin 131 - RESUMING OPERATIONS AFTER PANDEMIC RESPONSE
Bulletin 131 – 08/2020
Resuming Operations after pandemic response - update to Bulletin 128
This document extends some of the relaxations detailed in Bulletin128. It lists Personnel, Operations and HSSE subjects that operators should consider when resuming services, in addition to conducting Management of Change exercises on any change in the activity.
On 25th March 2020, JIG issued Bulletin 128 to offer guidance to users of JIG standards in managing operations under the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic but also to prepare for a return to normal service levels when activity begins to recover.
Since the beginning of the pandemic crisis, JIG has been continuously monitoring the situation and communicating with its members, in order to offer guidance and support a smooth return to operations, as the demand for air travel begins to recover and facilities progressively resume operations.
Operating sites are reminded that recommendations provided in this Bulletin need to be carefully considered in conjunction with recommendations and guidance from public/local health authorities, company guidelines/requirements, local or national legislation in effect at each location, local agreements or other binding documents as required.
A list of considerations for operators before resuming activity after a long period.
