Example: If the f ire a larm activates, ATC - 0 should be declared immediately and evacuation procedures started. If it is found that the alarm activated erroneously and an all - clear is given, ATC - 0 can be cancelled. The safety of a ir t raffic e mployees is the direct responsibility of a ir t raffic management, not TechOps. POC: Mike Odryna
