DRUG & ALCOHOL MANAGEMENT PLAN (DAMP) EDUCATION PROGRAM

DAMP Policy

The Civil Aviation Safety Regulations Part 99 require the City of Kalgoorlie- Boulder, as the operator of the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport, to develop and implement a DAMP in relation to all of its employees, contractors and sub- contractors who conduct Safety Sensitive Aviation Activities (SSAA). The aim of a DAMP is to minimise the risk of accident, incident or injury in the workplace due to the consumption of alcohol and other drugs (AOD). The health, well-being and safety of persons working at the airport are of paramount importance to the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. Strategies and processes to manage the risks associated have been implemented by the City.

Application

• All employees, contractors and sub-contractors working at the airport more

than three times in a 90-day period are required to undergo a drug test.

• Alcohol testing can be conducted by the airport supervisor when he has

reasonable grounds to believe a person is affected by Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD).

• Random alcohol testing by CASA may also be conducted.
• AOD testing will be conducted after an accident or serious incident.
• All AOD testing is conducted in accordance with AS/NZS 4308 & 4760.
• The Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport has, on reasonable grounds, the right to

terminate any work being conducted by a person they suspect is under the influence of AOD.

Potential Risks

• Accidents resulting in injury or death to yourself or colleagues
• Damage to tools and equipment repair costs
• Lost employee work time
• Lower quantity and quality of work
• Absenteeism costs
• Staff turnover costs
• Cost to individual – demotion, dismissal and/or loss of wages

Air irside side Dr Driving ing

• This guide has been implemented in the interests of operator safety

whilst driving airside.

• The control of surface vehicles operating on or near the movement area

is the responsibility of the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport. All instructions to

• perators as advised by airport airside operations officers are to be

adhered to at all times.

• Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport management reserves the right to withdraw

any authority to drive airside for any reason, including if drivers are found to be acting in an unsafe manner or failing to comply with airside regulations.

Ope perating ting Airside ide

Your r safet ety y is impor

• rtant

ant to us. As the holde der r of an ASIC C and driver’s licence you are wholly responsible for your own safety as wel well l as th the safety ty of th those e aro round nd you. .

Rules and Requirements

No person shall drive any vehicle airside unless:

• The person holds a valid Aviation Security Identification Card

(ASIC).

• The person is the holder of a current state or territory motor

vehicle driver’s license.

• They have an operational need to do so.

Rules and Requirements

• Drivers are to operate equipment/vehicles in a safe and orderly manner that will

not endanger aircraft or the safety of any person.

• Do not at any time drive any apron equipment unless you have been trained and

authorised to operate that equipment airside.

• Vehicle operators towing baggage/freight trolleys must ensure that their trolley

is loaded correctly, they drive responsibly and at an appropriate speed to prevent any spillage which could become a hazard.

• Drivers who are involved in an accident whilst driving airside must immediately

report the accident to their supervisor who will pass the information on to the airport operations, however minor the circumstances may seem.

• The Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport is a security controlled airport, therefore, only

persons holding a current ASIC or a VIC under supervision, may access any airside areas.

• Only persons having a lawful reason are permitted to enter the airside

security area.

Rules and Requirements

• Drivers must not drive while affected by alcohol or drugs and must abide with the

regulations set out in the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport Drug and Alcohol Management Plan.

• All instructions given by airport operations staff must be obeyed.
• Drivers should not drive, stop or park any vehicle within 3 metres of a parked aircraft

except when required for servicing of that aircraft.

• Drivers should not drive any vehicles within 15 metres of an aircraft fuel tank refilling

point or during refuelling operations unless there is an operational requirement to do

• so. Any contact with the hoses and cables that are connected to the aircraft with the

refuelling vehicle must be avoided at all times.

• Airport Reporting Officers (ARO) are responsible for monitoring vehicle

movements airside during the course of their normal duties and where deemed necessary report any abnormal occurrences and act on these accordingly.

• All drivers must provide safe separation distances when driving in the vicinity
• f parked aircraft.

Rules and Requirements

• Drivers must stay well clear of an aircraft when the anti-collision beacons are
• perating. Anti-collision beacons indicate that the engines are running or about to

be started or that the aircraft is about to be moved. The beacons are usually a red flashing light displayed above and below the aircraft fuselage on larger aircraft and

• n top of the tail on smaller aircraft.
• Always stay at least 75 metres from the rear of operating aircraft to avoid any

engine blast.

• Engine ingestion is the term used to describe the way in which an aircraft can suck

anything into its intake area. Always stay at least 7.5 metres from the front and to the side of engines to avoid ingestion.

• Aircraft propellers and helicopter rotor blades are dangerous. Once spinning they

can be almost impossible to see. Wash from propellers is also a hazard and should be treated just the same as jet blast. Never approach or drive behind an aircraft with its engines running.

Rules and Requirements

• Drivers must give way to all moving aircraft including aircraft under tow.
• Never drive under the wing or fuselage of an aircraft. You may be injured or your

vehicle could easily damage sensitive and expensive aircraft components, the costs for which, if you are at fault, you may be liable.

• When parking a vehicle at the side of an aircraft, all care should be taken to ensure

that you do not impede other services (i.e. refuellers, etc.) from performing their duties safely. Wheels of the vehicle should be turned away from the aircraft. Never turn towards the aircraft when intending to vacate the area.

• Drivers must ensure that they do not impede or drive near an aircraft marshaller or

the aircraft under their control or between them while aircraft marshalling duties are being performed.

• The safety of passengers on the apron areas is paramount at all times.
• At ALL times, vehicles must give way to passengers moving between an aircraft

and the terminal.

Rules and Requirements

• In low visibility conditions all non essential vehicles should, where feasible, cease
• peration.
• It is mandatory that once you leave your vehicle you must wear high visibility

clothing at all times whilst airside.

• Drivers of all vehicles operating airside are to ensure that all personnel around

them are displaying an approved ASIC.

• Persons found to be not in possession of an ASIC are to be instructed to move to

the landside area and your supervisor and airport operations staff will be notified immediately.

• Drivers of all vehicles on the movement area are to monitor the area for foreign
• bject debris (FOD).

WHO CAN TELL ME WHAT FOD IS ?

Vehicles

• Vehicles must be fitted with an amber

flashing or rotating beacon which must be on at all times whilst driving airside.

• Vehicles must be free from oil leaks

and other defects.

• Vehicles must not be operated in

excess of their designed capacity limitations.

• At night or during times of low

visibility, the vehicle headlights must be switched to the low beam setting.

• No Seat - No Ride!

Operating Airside

• Vehicles operating on the movement area shall be fitted with an amber or orange

flashing or rotating beacon mounted on top of the vehicle. Or, if a fitted beacon becomes unserviceable, hazard lights must be switched on to provide 360˚ visibility, unless escorted by a correctly equipped vehicle.

• At all times, especially during periods of low visibility, it is imperative that all

vehicles have beacon or hazard lights operating and headlights are switched on (low beam only).

• Only vehicles equipped with an air band radio capable of two – way communication

with aircraft are permitted to operate on taxiways and runways. Exemption will be granted (with aerodrome operations approval) for non-radio equipped vehicles to be escorted by an approved ARO with a suitably equipped vehicle.

• All drivers operating on the movement areas must hold a radiotelephone operator’s

certificate of proficiency.

Operating Airside

• Be familiar with the movement area markings.
• Be familiar with aviation radio procedures and phraseology.
• Be familiar with visual signals and signs.
• All drivers operating on and around movement areas must obey all instructions

from airport operations officers.

• All drivers on movement areas must at all times maintain a listening watch. Radio

switched on and monitoring messages between aircraft operating in the Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) area. Brief yourself on the current situation on the manoeuvring areas by listening to the Kalgoorlie-Boulder CTAF frequency (126.60Mhz).

• Broadcasts must be made prior to entering the movement area on the CTAF

frequency (126.60Mhz).

Operating Airside

• Know your environment.
• Be precise and patient.
• Comply with instructions.
• Keep your eyes open and stay alert for any conflicting aircraft.
• Plan all airside work carefully and avoid any tendency to rush whilst working

airside.

• Never leave any items whatsoever on the movement area - even if you will only be

away from the area for a short time. Aircraft movements can be unpredictable. Any items left on movement areas could potentially have devastating consequences.

If you become confused or are unclear about what to do in a situation you must immediately leave the movement area and consult your supervisor on the current situation. It is possible that you may require further training.

Operating Airside

If your vehicle becomes immobilised the following actions are to be taken:

• Notify airport operation officers.
• Ensure rotating beacon is switched on and the emergency hazard lights, if fitted,

are activated.

• Ensure that no items have been spilled/ejected from the vehicle and that there is no

debris in the area that you have been driving on.

• If present, any debris is to be removed immediately.
• Ensure that any fuel/oil spills are reported immediately to airport operations and

cleaned up using the appropriate spill kit.

• If the vehicle is on an active movement area, every effort must be taken to remove

immobilised the vehicle. If you cannot move the vehicle you must advise airport

• perations immediately.

Operating Airside

• Drivers holding an ASIC may be required to provide supervision for unauthorised

drivers and vehicles by:

• 1. Escorting the supervised vehicle with an authorised vehicle and driver.
• 2. Riding in the supervised vehicle.
• 3. Accompanying the supervised vehicle on foot.
• The driver of the escorting vehicle must ensure the driver of the supervised vehicle

is aware of and fully understands:

• 1. The requirement to keep the vehicle being escorted at a reasonable distance

behind the escorting vehicle so that adequate supervision can be maintained at all times.

• 2. The designated route to be taken.
• 3. Movement area speed limits.
• 4. Any pre-arranged signals that may be required if any problems arise.
• 5. Occupants in the supervised vehicle are aware: Airside is a NON-SMOKING

area.

Operating Airside

• At all times you must ensure that the driver of the vehicle being escorted fully

understands the principle of give-way to aircraft at all times, even if the aircraft is under tow.

• Towing aircraft via taxiways or runway:
• 1. The towing vehicle must be correctly marked and be equipped with a correctly
• perating VHF radio, unless being escorted by an appropriately equipped and

authorised airside vehicle or has suitable communication with a person in the aircraft.

• 2. Aircraft towing is not permissible without first advising airport operations of

your intentions and doing a secondary check for any aircraft in the CTAF area.

Ground Service Equipment Storage Area -

Equipment storage areas are marked with a continuous red line and indicate the boundary of the designated areas where vehicles, plant or equipment can be stored safely so as not to impede any aircraft in their normal operations.

Ground Service Equipment Clearance Area -

Equipment clearance areas are marked with a broken red line and indicate the area where Ground Service Equipment (GSE) may be stored and left unattended up to sixty (60) minutes prior to an aircraft arrival and GSE to be removed immediately after the aircraft has departed. If it is deemed necessary for equipment to be left in the GSE clearance area for any longer periods, some exceptions may apply. Check with airport operations officers prior to placement.

Operating Airside

See and be seen — remember that you are required to wear high visibility clothing and personal protective equipment whenever you alight from a vehicle in a designated area and you must park clear of all movement areas. Communication – is paramount to aerodrome operations though they can be a

• distraction. Concentrate on what you are doing at all times.

Reporting of incidents/occurrences

Drivers who are involved in an incident or accident whilst driving airside must immediately report the accident to their supervisor and to airport operations, with a written report submitted within 24hrs.

Operating Airside

Withdrawal of your Authority to Drive Airside

• Persons found to be in breach of these rules for driving airside may have their

authority to drive on the airside revoked.

• If a driver has their state or territory license suspended or cancelled they must

immediately cease driving airside and notify both their company and the airport supervisor.

Airside Markings

• All drivers should be familiar with the meaning and form of airside markings (visual

aids) and comply with what they mean to you as a driver of an authorised airside vehicle.

• Visual aids are cues for pilots, marshallers and drivers of vehicles operating airside

to help them provide a safe environment for aircraft operations and the safety of ground crews operating on the movement area.

• Visual aids comprise:
• 1. Markings, markers and signs (visible by day)
• 2. Lights and beacons (visible by night)

You will encounter instructional signs airside. Take notice of all signage on the aerodrome particularly Stop and Give Way signs. Remember that depending on what area of the aerodrome you are in, speed limits vary.
