Accident to the De Havilland DHC6 registered PJ-WII operated by Winair on 13/02/2019 at Saint-Barthelemy

After positioning the chocks around the nose gear wheel, the marshaller started walking around the aircraft without waiting for the anti-collision lights to be switched off and without keeping a suitable distance from the propeller danger zone. Furthermore, she allowed herself to be distracted from her task, did not look in the direction in which she was walking and approached the right engine which was still rotating. The propeller blades struck the ramp agent’s head and seriously injured her.
