Get Started

HOW TO GET STARTED?

Achieving IS-BAH for your organization is not as complicated as some may think.  There are only six-steps to registration.  Let’s get started!

SIX STEPS TO IS-BAH REGISTRATION

1. Purchase an IS-BAH™ subscription, which includes the standards (15 Chapters) and Implementation Guide by completing the purchase FORM.

2. Send a representative from your organization to an IBAC approved “Fundamentals of IS-BAH™” workshop.

3. Conduct a gap analysis between your organization’s standards and procedures and those of the IS-BAH Programme.

4. Develop procedures to identify hazards and eliminate or reduce the quantified risk to acceptable levels using a broad range of guidance material provided with the standard.

5. Integrate procedures into department systems, programmes, operating procedures, and manuals, using materials provided.

6. Complete an external IS-BAH audit by selecting an accredited IS-BAH auditor from the IBAC website.

Once a ground handling organization reaches this IS-BAH achievement, they can proudly display the certificate in their facility and also have access to the official IS-BAH seal/logo (Stage 2 and Stage 3 specific seals also available) to use in various communications that will clearly identify this globally recognized accomplishment.
