STRATEGI DALAM MENGHADAPI ELECTRIC VEHICLE ACCIDENT RESCUE (EVAR) UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KINERJA PERSONEL PKP-PK DI BANDAR UDARA RADIN INTEN II LAMPUNG

Perkembangan teknologi kendaraan listrik (Electric Vehicle/EV) membawa tantangan baru dalam penanganan keadaan darurat di bandar udara, khususnya bagi personel Pertolongan Kecelakaan Penerbangan dan Pemadam Kebakaran (PKP-PK). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi strategi yang digunakan dalam penanganan Electric Vehicle Accident Rescue (EVAR) serta mengkaji kesiapan dan efektivitas personel PKP-PK dalam menghadapi insiden yang melibatkan kendaraan listrik di Bandar Udara Radin Inten II Lampung. Metode penelitian yang digunakan meliputi observasi, wawancara, dan studi dokumentasi terhadap prosedur, pelatihan, dan fasilitas yang tersedia.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa belum terdapat Standar Operasional Prosedur (SOP) khusus untuk penanganan kecelakaan kendaraan listrik. Selain itu, personel PKP-PK belum dibekali dengan pelatihan dan peralatan khusus untuk menghadapi risiko khas kendaraan listrik seperti thermal runaway dan potensi kebakaran ulang. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan penyusunan SOP EVAR, pengadaan alat pelindung dan pemadam khusus, serta pelatihan berkala untuk meningkatkan kesiapsiagaan. Dengan implementasi strategi yang tepat, diharapkan penanganan insiden EV di bandar udara dapat dilakukan secara cepat, aman, dan efisien.

The advancement of electric vehicle (EV) technology presents new challenges in emergency response at airports, particularly for Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) personnel. This study aims to evaluate the strategies employed in Electric Vehicle Accident Rescue (EVAR) operations and to assess the readiness and effectiveness of ARFF personnel in handling incidents involving electric vehicles at Radin Inten II Airport. The research methods used include observation, interviews, and document analysis related to existing procedures, training programs, and available facilities.
The findings indicate that there is currently no specific Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for handling electric vehicle accidents. Additionally, ARFF personnel have not received specialized training or equipment to address the unique risks of electric vehicles, such as thermal runaway and the potential for fire re-ignition. This study recommends the development of EVAR-specific SOPs, the provision of specialized protective gear and extinguishing equipment, and regular training sessions to enhance preparedness. With the proper implementation of these strategies, EV-related incidents at airports can be managed swiftly, safely, and efficiently.
