What type of tasks are assigned to personnel wearing a Purple Shirt?

Personnel wearing a Purple Shirt are specifically designated for handling aviation fuels. This role is critical in ensuring the safe and efficient fueling of aircraft. These individuals are trained in proper fueling procedures, safety protocols, and the handling of hazardous materials associated with aviation fuels. Their responsibilities include monitoring fuel levels, ensuring the accuracy of fueling operations, and adhering to safety regulations to prevent accidents and spills.

In contrast, other roles, such as those wearing different colors, are associated with specific tasks: for instance, aircraft maintenance staff typically wear other designated shirts that identify their specific duties, while ground support operations and photographic work are managed by personnel in green and other appropriate apparel. Each color-coded shirt helps in quickly identifying the specialized roles of different team members on the flight line or during ground operations.
