The Safety  & Security Control Center (SLS) is the central alert and alarm point for  all security matters.

When incidents occur, it coordinates and documents the operational actions of the Airport Fire Department, Rescue Services, Airport Security, and Emergency and Crisis Management. The SLS ensures that all internal departments involved and the management are supplied with information. It is responsible for classifying each emergency event in line with the applicable emergency plan. At the same time, it is responsible for alerting the emergency management team and responders, guiding them to the scene, and supporting all operational tasks throughout the assignment.

Emergency  and Crisis Management is geared towards the requirements of a modern company in  an intermodal and complex transport system. These include emergencies and  serious interruptions of operations as well as external demands on the  organization. Its main task is the preventive protection of operations,  property, and people. Emergency and Crisis Management achieves this by actively  minimizing and averting hazards. Furthermore, all areas of the airport are  supported in the event of interruptions or damage. The aim is to keep the  effects on the airport transport system down to a minimum and to restore  orderly operations as soon as possible.

Frankfurt  Airport has an efficient contingency plan laid down in an Emergency  Instructions Manual. To avert crises, Fraport AG has an Emergency Response and  Information Center, including the necessary procedures and the corresponding  crisis unit organization. To ensure readiness for emergencies, various  emergency drills are regularly conducted in accordance with the legal  provisions and international directives.

Services:

• Advice to  help airlines prepare their own emergency plans
• Information events  and instructions for government agencies regarding the emergency facilities at  Frankfurt Airport
  

The  Airport Fire Department has a wide range of day-to-day tasks, particularly on  the operations side.

In  addition to aircraft fire safety, these also include fire prevention for all  buildings, facilities, and areas of the airport, technical assistance, and  damage limitation in the presence of dangerous substances. Furthermore, the  Airport Fire Department is involved in preventive tasks and expertly monitors  the firefighting measures of existing buildings and installations on the  airport premises. When future construction projects are planned, fire  prevention staff advise on selection of construction materials, installation of  fire extinguishing equipment and fire alarm systems, and provision of emergency  escape routes.

The  Fire Department Training Center ensures that Airport Fire Department staff are  highly trained. It provides its high-quality training and consulting services  both throughout Germany and around the world.
