B737-300 FLT CREW HAS GND PERSONNEL APPROACH ACFT WITH ENG RUNNING.

Narrative

PUSHED BACK NORMALLY FROM GATE. TUG DRIVER WAS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND AS ENGLISH WAS A SECOND LANGUAGE. HE CLRED US TO START ENGS. WE STARTED ENG #2 WITH THE INTENT TO TAXI SINGLE ENG. AS ENG #2 WAS ABOUT TO COMPLETE THE START; WE NOTICED ANOTHER TUG DRIVING UP WITH WHAT APPEARED TO BE 1 MORE BAG TO LOAD. I INSTRUCTED THE PUSH TUG DRIVER TO TELL THE RAMPER NOT TO APPROACH THE AIRPLANE AS WE HAD ENG #2 RUNNING AND THAT I WOULD ADVISE WHEN THE ENG WAS SHUT DOWN AND IT WAS SAFE TO APPROACH. WE THEN SHUT DOWN THE ENG. AS THE ENG WAS DECELERATING THROUGH ABOUT 35% N2 WE NOTICED THE FORWARD CARGO DOOR LIGHT ILLUMINATE. I IMMEDIATELY TOLD THE PUSH TUG DRIVER TO YELL AT THE RAMPER AGAIN TO GET AWAY FROM THE ENG. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS THE CARGO DOOR LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE RAMPER DROVE OFF ON HIS TUG. I ASKED THE PUSH TUG DRIVER WHY HE ALLOWED THE RAMPER TO APPROACH THE AIRPLANE AND HIS RESPONSE WAS; 'I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER HIM.' I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO HIM HOW DANGEROUS IT IS TO BE IN FRONT OF A RUNNING ENG AND THAT ANYONE CAN BE SUCKED IN. I FELT I WAS TALKING TO DEAF EARS. I DON'T KNOW IF THE RAMPER COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HIM OR IF HE JUST IGNORED HIM; BUT IN ANY CASE WE CAN'T HAVE RAMP PERSONNEL INDISCRIMINATELY WALKING UP TO RUNNING ENGS.
