What happens if a hazard is detected during fuelling?

When a hazard is detected during fuelling, the procedure is to prioritize passenger safety and ensure a controlled and efficient response to the situation. Re-arming the slides and commencing evacuation allows for a safe and swift exit from the aircraft, ensuring that passengers and crew can leave the area farthest from the potential danger. Immediate evacuation through the slides can prevent any injuries or risks associated with the hazard.

It's critical that crew members follow established safety protocols to manage threats effectively. Ignoring the hazard, evacuating only the crew, or an uncoordinated passenger evacuation could result in confusion and increased risk, emphasizing the importance of the chosen response.
