Provide a Safe Workplace for all Users

Launceston Airport (APAL) and its tenants engage Contractors to perform a variety of different tasks from time to time.

It is of the utmost importance to ensure that we provide a safe workplace for Contractors and that they are fully aware of all the relevant safety, environment and operational requirements at the airport. This will ensure that we can maintain the safety and integrity of the airport, the environment and all airport users.

This process applies to all types of contractors who are engaged to perform work at the airport. The documents below explain the contractor management procedure at Launceston Airport.

These requirements shall be achieved by:
