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
Further Support and Assistance
Other reliable sources of assistance include the 24 hr Alcohol and Drug Service

• Western Australian ADIS (08) 9442 5000 or 1800 198 024
• Drug Information 1300 858 584
Airside Driving
• 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
operators 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.
Operating Airside
Your safety is important to us. As the holder of an ASIC and
driver’s licence you are wholly responsible for your own safety
as well as the safety of those around 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
of parked aircraft.
Rules and Requirements
• Drivers must stay well clear of an aircraft when the anti-collision beacons are
operating. 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
on 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
operation.
• 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
object 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
operations 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
operating 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.
