I had recurrent training on this yesterday.
If it has wing mounted engines, you have to look out for Jet blasts that can be as much as 519 MPH and be extremely hot (rear or the engine)
In the front of the engine you can be sucked in and spit out at the other end.
All of this applies only when the jets are in motion.
As for a prop, crew must wait until they can see the individual blades of the prop before they can start to unload cargo or work maintenince on the aircraft, or some airlines wait until they have completely stopped.
Hope this helps.

The jet balst of a Modern Jetengine can send a 3000 kgs car 200 yards tumbling down a runway,
Also it is a security threat for you to be on the apron.

Wossie (above) - how on earth do you know that?! Surely that explains your job now! Do you use those table tennis bats to make aeroplanes park? Was your date a hostess with Japanese Airlines??!!!
My answer would have been in case the wings fall off....if you would not walk under a ladder you should not walk under jumbo jet wings!

1. You could be come a FOD hazard (foreign object damage)
2. You could get hit by a turning propellor
3. You could get sucked into a jet engine
4. Loose items of your attire could get sucked into the engine.
5. You could get hit on the head by ailerons, flaps, or other control surfaces as the pilot tests them in his pre-flight checks.
6. You could get fluid stainage on your clothing if any of the fuel tanks or hydraulic systems in the wings leaks.

Protection for the passenger in not getting hit by a prop, sucked into the engine.
Protection for the engine that it does not ingest anything else other than air.

They don't like you to see the great lengths of Elastoplast, holding the engines in place, it can put some people off!

So that they do not get near the Engine intakes as it will cause you to be turned into mulch as well as damage the Engines

The opening to the fuel tank is located below the wing.
If someone were to light a cigarette or fool around with it...
