As for now, the conventional Aircraft Pushback Tractor is a fossil fuel engine vehicle and operated by 3 people. On the other hand, electric vehicles have become more widely used as community have more awareness on environmental issue while gaining support from rapid technology innovation. Thus, development of electric vehicle Aircraft Pushback Tug is proposed. It is also enhanced with modern features which allow it to be operated using remote control. As part of this project, it is necessary to identify potential hazards as well as analyze occupational safety and health risks in terms of product safety and safety of use of products.
