According to Friedman Rubin, ramp work is one of the most hazardous jobs, with an injury rate of 14 in 100 workers—much higher than in many other industries. Ninety-two percent of ramp accidents result from human error, including failure to follow procedures, inadequate training, and airfield congestion. Common causes of injuries and fatalities include propeller strikes, tugs, surface vehicles, defective equipment, and negligence.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Can is an experienced transportation manager in the food production industry. He is skilled in budgeting, operations management, safety monitoring, and process improvement. He is proficient in Microsoft Excel and holds a Business Administration degree from the University of Phoenix.
