Airport Ramp Worker Safety Act

This bill requires the FAA Administrator to conduct a safety review within 180 days of enactment to address airport ramp worker safety. The review will examine FAA regulations, accident reports, training materials, communication methods, ramp markings, and jet blast safety protocols, with input from airlines, airports, labor, and safety experts. Within 6 months after the review, the FAA must develop and publish new training materials specifically about engine ingestion and jet blast hazards for ground crews. The bill directly affects ramp workers, airlines, airports, and safety oversight by mandating a structured review process to identify risks and improve safety practices.
