4 1.0 PURPOSE Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) has established numerous business partnerships with contracting companies to deliver on project and maintenance activities critical to the sustainable operation of Brisbane Airport. The work activities of contractors have the potential to create a risk to BAC in terms of the health and safety of employees, other airport workers, members of the public and the contractors themselves as well as damage to Corporation assets and adverse impact on core business activities. Accordingly, this Standard establishes the framework of minimum work health and safety (WHS) expectations for BAC contractors in order to ensure the effective identification, assessment, control and monitoring of WHS hazards and risks. The development, implementation and maintenance of a contractor management program are critical elements of a sound WHS management system. 2.0 SCOPE This Corporate Standard applies to the engagement, approval and supervision actions associated with works activities undertaken for or on behalf of BAC by contracted workers. Importantly, this Standard applies to planned and known work undertaken by contractors throughout all BAC controlled areas as well as certain work activities undertaken by Principal Contractors and tenants. Immediate emergency response reactions and contingent responses are not addressed within the scope of this Corporate Standard. These are to be managed according to specific BAC emergency response management plans. 3.0 DEFINITIONS Term BAC Works Manager Definition A BAC representative (e.g. project manager, work coordinator) responsible for managing the work activities of contractors. Construction work As defined in the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (Qld) construction work means any work carried out in connection with the construction, alteration, conversion, fitting-out, commissioning, renovation, repair, maintenance, refurbishment, demolition, decommissioning or dismantling of a structure This includes any work activities involving: Requirements\Controlled s - Restricted any installation or testing carried out in connection with the activities mentioned above; the removal from the workplace of any product or waste resulting from demolition; the prefabrication or testing of elements, at a place specifically established for the construction work, for use in construction work; Uncontrolled if Printed Page 4 of 48
5 the assembly of prefabricated elements to form a structure, or the disassembly of prefabricated elements forming part of a structure; the installation, testing or maintenance of an essential service in relation to a structure; any work connected with an excavation; any work connected with any preparatory work or site preparation (including landscaping as part of site preparation); that is carried out on, under or near water, including work on buoys and obstructions to navigation. Construction project Contractor Principal contractor BAC Permit Issuer Structure A project that involves construction work where the cost of the construction work is $250,000 or more. A person or company engaged to perform work or services with, or associated with BAC. Examples of a contractor include a person or company engaged: to build or improve buildings or facilities; to perform maintenance work to existing buildings or facilities; to provide expert advice in a specific area of expertise consulting services; or in a labour hire capacity. The contractor appointed by BAC for the purpose of performing construction work in accordance with the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld). Is a person who: reviews the scope of PTW requests; sights and clarifies relevant system controls relating to PTWs; and is authorised by BAC to issue and close PTWs. A structure is classed as: a roadway or pathway; foundations, earth retention works and other earthworks, including river works and sea defence works; formwork, falsework or any other structure designed or used to provide support, access or containment during construction work. an airfield; a dock, harbour, channel, bridge, viaduct, lagoon or dam; or a sewer or sewerage or drainage works. The term structure does not apply to plant unless: Requirements\Controlled s - Restricted Uncontrolled if Printed Page 5 of 48
6 the plant is: o a ship or submarine; o a pipe or pipeline; o an underground tank; o designed or used to provide support, access or containment during work in connection with construction work; work on the plant relates to work that is carried out in connection with construction work; the plant is fixed plant on which outage work or overhaul work that involves or may involve work being carried out by 5 or more persons conducting businesses or undertakings at any point in time. 4.0 BACKGROUND BAC recognises that there are a range of activities undertaken throughout its operations that require an increased level of documentation, notification, communication and/or authorisation to be undertaken to enable a safe system of work. To achieve these key characteristics BAC maintains a Permit to Work (PTW) system. The scope and range of activities that require a Permit to Work has been developed via: Analysis of BAC operations and WHS practices; Past incidents and events; Consultation with worker representatives from various operational areas; and Legislation and industry standards relating to specific WHS risk areas and work practices. 5.0 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS 5.1 General All contractors and consultants working for, or on behalf of, BAC must hold BAC Approved Contractor status. In addition, BAC tenants are required to be entered into the Approved Contractor database in order for works approvals to be granted. BAC has identified the following categories of contractor arrangements to address the differing nature of the work activities undertaken by BAC: Category A Contractors engaged for autonomous construction projects where the value of the construction work is greater than $250,000 and where the contractor has been contractually engaged as the principal contractor for the purposes of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (Qld) (WHS Regulation). Category B Requirements\Controlled s - Restricted Uncontrolled if Printed Page 6 of 48
7 Contractors directly engaged and managed by BAC for works within BACcontrolled areas and who have a WHS management system that has been externally accredited against recognised audit criteria (e.g. AS4801 or ISO18001). Category C Contractors directly engaged and managed by BAC for works within BACcontrolled areas and who work under BAC s accredited WHS management system. Category D Contractors engaged to provide professional consulting services and who will work under BAC s accredited WHS management system. Category E BAC tenants who will operate under their own WHS management system but may need to advise and/or seek approval from BAC for certain work activities carried out under the tenant s control. 5.2 CATEGORY A CONTRACTORS - Principal Contractors Requirements and process for approval The approval requirements for Principal Contractors are as follows: 1. Contractor to complete Application Form for BAC Approved Contractor Status Category A. 2. Contractor to submit Application Form to BAC Works Manager, along with current Public Liability and WorkCover insurance certificates. (Note: Public Liability insurance certificates must be signed, dated and printed on insurer s or broker s letterhead). 3. Contractor to supply Work Health and Safety Management Plan for the construction project to the BAC Works Manager. 4. BAC Works Manager to complete relevant section of Application Form and provide all of the above to BAC s WHS team along with evidence of a completed review of the WHS Management Plan. 5. BAC WHS team will review the application and ensure minimum requirements are met. If successful, the contractor company will be granted Approved Contractor status and entered into the BAC Approved Contractor Database. The period of approval will be the duration of the construction project activity and any defects liability period as outlined in the contract scope. An notification will be sent to the BAC Works Manager confirming this. 6. Where minimum requirements are not met, the BAC WHS team will notify the BAC Works Manager of the reasons for non-approval and will offer assistance in working with all parties to address the identified concerns or deficiencies. 7. Contractors who successfully complete the relevant application process will be granted approved status. Approved Contractor status is granted for the duration of construction project activity and any defects liability period as outlined in the contract scope. Requirements\Controlled s - Restricted Uncontrolled if Printed Page 7 of 48
8 8. For the duration of the Category A approval, work controlled by a principal contractor at their site is primarily undertaken in accordance with their own internal WHS systems and documented WHS management plan for the construction project. Where BAC resumes management or control of a workplace follow the construction phase of a project (i.e. after practical completion), the Permit to Work process will ensure the work activities performed by the principal contractor do not present a risk to the health and safety of BAC employees, other airport workers or members of the public Approved Status Expiry BAC Approved Contractor status is granted subject to a number of conditions. The following table details the situations in which a Category A Contractor s Approval status will expire and the required action to regain approved status. Reason for Approval Expiry Notified end date of the project has passed. Public Liability insurance certificate has lapsed. WorkCover insurance certificate has lapsed. Requirements\Controlled s - Restricted Action Required BAC Works Manager to notify WHS team that project is not yet completed and nominates (in writing) new completion date. Provide current Public Liability certificate. Provide current WorkCover certificate. In addition, approved status may be temporarily suspended or permanently removed where WHS performance is deemed unacceptable, including compliance with Permit to Work processes, reporting requirements and contract provisions. Where a contractor s approved status is removed or suspended due to unsatisfactory WHS performance, the relevant BAC Works Manager will be notified in the first instance. Further communications regarding non-use of this contractor will be communicated to BAC staff via the fortnightly BACSafe newsletter. Detailed information on the suspension/removal, including any corrective actions taken by BAC and the contractor in order to reinstate approved status, will be collated on the WHS Suspended Contractors Register. 5.3 Permit to Work General Work controlled by a principal contractor at their site is primarily undertaken in accordance with their own internal WHS systems and documented WHS management plan for the construction project. Due to the nature of business operations and the close interaction between numerous parties, including contractors, tenants and members of the public, BAC recognises its duty to monitor and oversee the effectiveness of WHS controls and work interactions. Requirements For principal contractor works, a BAC Permit to Work is required in any of the following situations: Movement of powered mobile plant in a work area under BAC s management or control; Uncontrolled if Printed Page 8 of 48
9 Working in the vicinity of a traffic area under BAC s management or control; Work is required in a public access area; Work may result in the production of dust, smoke, fumes or other airborne contaminant that will circulate into an area under BAC s management or control; Work that may result in noise that will affect the quiet enjoyment of other airport workers or members of the public; Work that requires a BAC-controlled key to be issued; Work that requires BAC-owned plant to be supplied to the contractor for use; Work that requires isolation on a BAC-controlled asset (e.g. any fire system, water, sewer, drainage or electrical systems/networks); Work that requires any of the following activities in a BAC-controlled area: Confined space entry; Excavation >300mm; Work at height >2m; Work on or near asbestos; Hot work outside of a designated workshop area; HV access and switching; Work on or near radiation source/s; Demolition In addition, a BAC Permit to Work is required where permission is necessary for: Building Approvals under the Airports Act 1996; Use of a crane; Works within 25m of JUHI fuel infrastructure; Works within 5m of Airtrain infrastructure; Airside works; and Works within 6m of Energex underground high voltage lines. Process The PTW process is as follows: 1. Principal contractor identifies work activity for which a PTW is required under this Standard. 2. Principal contractor completes Permit to Work Application Form, attaches relevant system control documentation, including any required High Risk Activity Permit Forms, and submits to the BAC Permit Issuer for approval. Requirements\Controlled s - Restricted Uncontrolled if Printed Page 9 of 48
10 3. Consultation occurs between the BAC Permit Issuer and principal contractors to ensure that BAC requirements have not been overlooked and that the health and safety of BAC workers, contractors and members of the public are not compromised. This consultation must include, as a minimum, a review of the work circumstances involved and the communication of any specific requirements or expectations in relation to health and safety. 4. The BAC Permit Issuer must check the PTW Register to determine if other works have been scheduled to occur, or are occurring, in the area or on affected systems, during the period covered by the PTW Application. Where other works have been scheduled that have the potential to overlap and/or impact on the ability for works to be carried safely, approval must not be given. 5. Where there are no overlaps identified, the BAC Permit Issuer must record the activity in the PTW Register prior to raising the PTW in the ToolBox database. 6. The PTW must be printed and all relevant signatures obtained prior to commencement of the work activity. 7. A signed copy of the PTW and all applicable control documentation must be retained at the location of the work activity and be presented at the request of any BAC authorised person. 8. The principal contractor is responsible for explaining, communicating and passing on specific BAC conditions, limitations and expectations to any third party/ies involved (e.g. sub-contractors). 9. Where a key to a BAC-controlled plant or equipment room is to be issued, a copy of the signed PTW must be presented, along with evidence of completion of relevant inductions, to the person issuing the BAC key. 10. As part of the Permit to Work process, the BAC Permit Issuer, BAC Works Manager or a WHS team member may undertake inspection or monitoring checks of the work scope and implementation of agreed controls, in order to ensure that the health and safety of BAC workers, contractors and members of the public is not compromised. 11. On completion of the PTW work activity, the principal contractor must notify the BAC Permit Issuer who will close out the PTW in the PTW Register. During any defects liability period, the work activities of principal contractors will also be controlled via BAC s Permit to Work process as outlined above. Defects liability periods will be covered by a principal contractor s Category A approval. 5.4 Contract Provisions The BAC works manager responsible for any contract should ensure all relevant mechanisms are incorporated in contract documentation to allow BAC to effectively and appropriately manage the WHS requirements of the contracted work activities. BAC precedent documents contain standard clauses for this purpose. 5.5 Contractor Inductions Although there is no requirement for principal contractors to complete BAC s contractor induction program, the information contained within this system may be used by principal contractors in their site-specific induction as desired. Requirements\Controlled s - Restricted Uncontrolled if Printed Page 10 of 48
11 Where principal contractors (or their sub-contractors) will require keys to be issued in order to access BAC-controlled plant and equipment rooms, the relevant induction module must be completed to ensure contractors are aware of the hazards and risks in these work environments. Key Issue Where a key to a BAC-controlled plant or equipment room is to be issued, the contractor must produce a copy of the signed PTW, photo identification along with evidence of completion of relevant inductions and qualifications, to the person issuing the BAC key. 5.6 Drug and Alcohol Management (Airside Principal Contractors only) Under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 99 Subpart C, BAC is required to implement a Drug and Alcohol Management Program (DAMP) for all workers performing regular safety sensitive aviation activities (SSAA). This includes principal contractors appointed by BAC with sites located within the aerodrome testing area as well as subcontractors and visitors to these sites. All employees, sub-contractors and visitors to principal contractor sites within the aerodrome testing area that meet the definition of regular SSAA employee are required to comply with BAC s Drug and Alcohol Management Plan, including the specified training and testing requirements. Training is delivered via the online contractor induction program. Principal contractor employees, sub-contractors and visitors must complete the DAMP (Airside Principal Contractors) module. The certificate generated at the completion of this training, along with the results of a drug and alcohol screening test, must be collated by the principal contractor and forwarded (with a coversheet clearly identifying the principal contractor responsible for the site) to BAC s WHS team for processing. An induction card will be issued to the worker (with the principal contractor identified as the responsible employer) indicating that they are DAMP Approved. This card must be kept on the worker at all times and presented if requested by an authorised BAC or CASA representative. In addition to pre-deployment testing, drug and alcohol testing is required to be carried out post-incident and on reasonable suspicion. For this reason, all incidents must be reported to the BAC Works Manager. Where an incident triggers a testing requirement under BAC s DAMP, the BAC Works Manager will advise the principal contractor and testing must be conducted within the prescribed timeframe and evidence of such testing provided to BAC. In addition, random drug and alcohol testing is carried out by CASA representatives from time to time and principal contractors must ensure that workers comply with the instructions of CASA representatives in this regard. It is an offence to refuse testing. Requirements\Controlled s - Restricted Uncontrolled if Printed Page 11 of 48
12 5.7 WHS Reporting Requirements Monthly Reports Principal contractors are contractually required to submit reports on WHS performance as part of the construction project management system. This information is to be forwarded to BAC s WHS team by the BAC Works Manager. Incident Reports All contractors are required to report WHS incidents to their BAC Works Manager. This includes: Notifiable incidents o Death of a person; o Serious injury or illness (e.g. requiring treatment as an in-patient in hospital or medical treatment within 48 hours of exposure to a substance); o Dangerous incident (e.g. incident that poses serious risk to health and safety from an immediate or imminent exposure to uncontrolled substance spill, or explosion, fire, gas/steam escape; electric shock, fall from height of plant, substance or thing; collapse of regulated plant or structure or excavation, etc); o Serious electrical incident (e.g. death of a person by electricity, shock or injury requiring treatment by a doctor or any shock or injury from electricity at high voltage); o Dangerous electrical event (e.g. any circumstance where a person is not, or would not have been, electrically safe); or o A workplace incident that arises out of a person performing SSAA resulting in death or serious harm, or potential for death or serious harm, to a person; or serious damage to an aircraft or property.

Any of the above must be reported to the responsible BAC Works Manager as soon as reasonably practicable. The BAC Works Manager must notify BAC s WHS team as soon as they are made aware of any of the above incidents occurring. Requirements\Controlled s - Restricted Uncontrolled if Printed Page 12 of 48
13 5.8 WHS Monitoring and Review General WHS audits, inspections or observations may be undertaken during the life of a contract with BAC in accordance with any included WHS contract provisions. BAC will conduct WHS audits, inspections and/or observation activities deemed appropriate for contractor works in BAC-controlled areas, including the activities of Principal Contractors where these have the potential to impact on BAC areas of control. Further information on managing construction work is provided in the Construction Work Corporate Standard. Audit Depending on the nature of the construction project, BAC may require principal contractors to engage an independent party to conduct an audit to ensure that the principal contractor is complying with all contractual requirements relating to WHS. This audit may include a review of elements of site safety such as work practices, safe work method statements and permits as well as conformance with the relevant sections of the principal contractor s WHS management plan accepted by BAC Inspections and Observations Interface inspections involve physical inspections of all areas of the project that adjoin or impact on BAC-controlled areas and activities. It is undertaken by the BAC Works Manager and a representative from BAC s WHS team as well as any representative nominated by the principal contractor. Any identified areas of concern are documented and consultation between the BAC Works Manager, BAC WHS team representative and principal contractor will be undertaken to determine appropriate rectification actions. Where a serious risk is identified during the above activities, the BAC representatives conducting the inspection must take any necessary steps to ensure immediate cessation of the activity and commence appropriate measures to ensure the situation is remedied and/or made safe as soon as possible. Non-conformances Where system deficiencies are identified as a result of audits, inspections, observations or incident investigations, these will be reported to the BAC Works Manager responsible for the principal contractor by way of a non-conformance. Further detail on the management of non-conformances is provided in the BAC Nonconformance Procedure. 5.9 Sub-contractors Principal contractors are responsible for ensuring that any work conditions, limitations and expectations relating to WHS are communicated to all site workers and visitors Provision of information In circumstances where a principal contractor has modified plant and equipment, or repaired or installed electrical equipment, or laid underground cabling/services, there Requirements\Controlled s - Restricted Uncontrolled if Printed Page 13 of 48

The PTW process is as follows: 1. Contractor identifies work activity for which a PTW is required under this Standard. 2. Contractor completes Permit to Work Application Form, attaches relevant system control documentation, including any required High Risk Activity Permit Forms, and submits to the BAC Permit Issuer for approval. 3. Consultation occurs between the BAC Permit Issuer and contractor to ensure that BAC requirements have not been overlooked and that the health and safety of BAC workers, contractors and members of the public are not compromised. This consultation must include, as a minimum, a review of the work circumstances involved and the communication of any specific requirements or expectations in relation to health and safety. 4. The BAC Permit Issuer must check the PTW Register to determine if other works have been scheduled to occur, or are occurring, in the area or on affected systems, during the period covered by the PTW Application. Where other works have been scheduled that have the potential to overlap and/or impact on the ability for works to be carried safely, approval must not be given. 5. Where there are no overlaps identified, the BAC Permit Issuer must record the activity in the PTW Register prior to raising the PTW in the ToolBox database. 6. The PTW must be printed and all relevant signatures obtained prior to commencement of the work activity. 7. A signed copy of the PTW and all applicable control documentation must be retained at the location of the work activity and be presented at the request of any BAC authorised person. 8. The contractor is responsible for explaining, communicating and passing on specific BAC conditions, limitations and expectations to any third party/ies involved (e.g. sub-contractors). Requirements\Controlled s - Restricted Uncontrolled if Printed Page 18 of 48
19 9. Where a key to a BAC-controlled plant or equipment room is to be issued, a copy of the signed PTW must be presented, along with evidence of completion of relevant inductions, to the person issuing the BAC key. 10. As part of the Permit to Work process, the BAC Permit Issuer, BAC Works Manager or a WHS team member may undertake inspection or monitoring checks of the work scope and implementation of agreed controls, in order to ensure that the health and safety of BAC workers, contractors and members of the public is not compromised. 11. On completion of the PTW work activity, the contractor must notify the BAC Permit Issuer who will close out the PTW in the PTW Register. PTW Exempted Activities From time to time specific exemptions from the Permit to Work process outlined above may be granted to Category B contractors. These exemptions are subject to specific application and the approval of BAC s WHS team. In order to apply for an exemption, a current contract must exist for the work activities. The BAC Works Manager must have clearly identified all work activities covered by the contract, and a copy of the relevant sections of the contract will be required by BAC s WHS team. The process for applying for a PTW Exemption is as follows: 1. Contractor submits Application for PTW Exemption and Safety Management Plan, including all associated JSA s/ra s as well as any SWMS s required for high risk construction activities, to the BAC Works Manager for review. 2. BAC Works Manager reviews submitted documentation using the SMP Review Checklist and agrees a schedule of work activity inspections and observations with the contractor. 3. BAC Works Manager completes the relevant sections of the Application Form and recommends the granting of PTW Exemption to the BAC WHS team. 4. BAC WHS team ensures supplied documentation is appropriate to ensure that the work activity will be undertaken without risk to the health and safety of any person to whom BAC owes a WHS duty, including airport workers and members of the public. 5. If approval is granted, confirmation will be provided in writing to the contractor and BAC Works Manager. 6. Work activities for which a PTW exemption has been granted must still be notified to the nominated contact (e.g. BAC Works Manager, Duty Terminal Manager, etc) prior to commencing the activity. 7. The nominated contact must check the PTW Register and advise the contractor if other works have been scheduled to occur, or are occurring, in the area or on affected systems. 8. The nominated contact must record the activity in the PTW Register (as an exempted activity ). Requirements\Controlled s - Restricted Uncontrolled if Printed Page 19 of 48
20 Adherence to the above requirements will be strictly monitored and any noncompliance will be subject to corrective actions, which may include the removal of exempted status and removal of Category B approved status.
