I understood that it is a written regulation that the board decided to enforce, one week before Chrustmas! On our facility, all refuelling has been done with all pax removed, ground wire attached, predetermined volume, hand signals for start and stop, depressurize line before disconnecting, pilot checks sample before and after for water. Helideck crew is HLO, refueler, 2 x fireman, 2 to connect/disconnect hose, plus 2-3 for baggage & cargo. Formal training for all.
