Abstract

Thunderstorms and lightning strikes have always posed a safety risk for people working outside, particularly those working on airport ramps, where the workflow is continuous even during different weather events at any time of day. This study determined the implementation of the current lightning alert system used in the Maintenance Repair Organization and a proposed enhancement of the lightning alert system that was designed to lessen the flow or alerting process. The data was collected by a descriptive survey questionnaire with a 4-point Likert scale for the level of implementation and level of agreement with the assistance of fifty (50) affected aircraft maintenance personnel of Lufthansa Technik Philippines. The survey questionnaire also includes a checklist for common issues and concerns that the affected participants encountered and asks them to fill out a survey with suggestions that they think would suit an effective lightning alert system based on their experiences with the current lightning alert system. This study revealed the need to enhance the current lightning alert system that will be utilized in terms of hardware, alerting process, evacuation facilities, and detailed policies and procedures.
