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.
Launceston Airport provides a safety, security and environment induction available for all workers on airport property. This induction course ensures everyone who works on airport land understands how the airport operates and the safety requirements that must be followed at the airport.
The induction information is vital to anyone working in the airport, near the airport, working in a customer facing business around the airport, near the airfield’s perimeter fence, or within a reasonable distance of airport operations.
This induction 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:
Contractor Monthly Reporting
External Contractors/third parties are required to lodge two monthly reports - The Monthly Safety Report and The Monthly Environmental/Waste Report.
The Monthly Safety Report (to the APAC Safety team) reporting on the number and types of incidents over the past 30 days (Lagging Indicators) and number of Safety Inspections planned, hazards reported, closed out, etc (Leading Indicators).
Please use the forms below to report an Incident or Hazard identified at Launceston Airport and to report construction and demolition waste.

Before Starting Work at Launceston Airport
The following steps will need to be followed for a contractor to begin work at Launceston Airport. Please review the following document and follow the appropriate steps.
1. Provide notice to Launceston Airport:
Contractors must provide 24-hours’ advance notice of their intention to work at the airport. The notification will need to include a brief description of the planned works. Contact us via phone or email with this information.
2. Complete Online Contractor Induction and Provide Company Insurance:
All contractors must complete an induction before being granted permission to commence any work within the airport precinct (including inside buildings). Business insurance must also be provided.
Launceston Airport has updated it’s induction process for individuals working onsite. There is now a single induction (Launceston Airport Worker Induction) replacing WHSE and Restricted Access inductions for works landside, airside, sterile or restricted areas.
Being a combined induction, it will take 15 to 20 minutes to complete and comprises 12 modules (5 presentations, 5 assessments and 2 document reviews) structured to deliver short presentations followed by an assessment. The induction can be stopped at the end of each module and resumed at another time.
The APAL contractor registration and DAMP induction formats and requirements are unchanged.
