TRANSCRIPT
Australian Airports AssociationComprehensive and frequently updated site induction processes, procedures and material, developed and maintained in consultation with all responsible agencies and incorporating all the relevant rules, regulations and Acts are some of the ways Aerodrome Owners and Operators may employ to ensure that preventable incidents are minimised.
This document has been prepared by the Australian Airports Association’s Airport Education Working Group to assist airports to prepare internal and external parties to access an airport. The document is, however, only for guidance and each Aerodrome Owner and Operator must satisfy itself that it is finalised and tailored to be appropriate for its own local circumstances. This document contains suggestions only as to some of the matters that might be included in site induction material. Users must not use the template “as is” or without considering all the relevant requirements.
We trust the contents will provide a useful resource and reference for Airport Educators.
