The eighth edition amendment is issued to address changes required within Chapters 7 & 8 to reflect current best practice in light of revisions to regulations and guidance resulting from experience and research carried out within the wider aviation fueling community. As well as addressing the need for standardization of training and competency of personnel involved in [offshore helideck](https://www.burnerfire.com/equipment/rigsafe-heliport-units/) activities and the fuel supply chain, the main body of changes center around removal of Filter Monitor filtration elements from use and the alternative control measures required to allow their safe removal or replacement to eradicate the possibility of Super-Absorbent Polymer migration from refueling equipment to aircraft. There is also an attempt to standardize some areas of common terminology and methodology. ## CAA Safety Plan The CAA identified ground handling in its Safety Plan as one of the ‘Significant Seven’ – the main seven areas of risk for the UK Aviation sector. Therefore, with the endorsement of CAA through the Ground Handling Operations Safety Team (GHOST), a working sub-group was convened in May 2018 that sought to address the risks specific to the offshore environment. The main deliverable from the initiative has been to bring standardization to ground operations and dangerous goods procedures right across the offshore helicopter operators, that allows them to discharge the responsibilities imposed by UK Regulation (EU) 965/2012 (Air Operations), Annex III, Part ORO.GEN.110 e) and f).
