Product Overview
This Aviation Safety SWMS is a comprehensive Safe Work Method Statement designed to identify, control, and minimise the risks associated with aviation-related operations on Australian worksites. It provides end-to-end coverage of critical aviation tasks, ensuring robust WHS compliance and consistent risk management for high-risk aviation activities.
Activities & Specific Tasks Covered
This document includes specific risk controls for:
- Boarding and disembarking helicopters safely during transfers, including rotor awareness and exclusion zones
- Planning and conducting cloud seeding operations, including chemical handling, loading, and aerial deployment controls
- Safe refuelling of aircraft, including bonding, spill prevention, ignition source control, and emergency response
- Helicopter use for animal monitoring, mustering, and observation, including low-level flying and wildlife interaction risks
- Operation of nitrogen gas rigs for aircraft maintenance, including pressure control, leak management, and confined space considerations
- Plane de-icing procedures, including chemical application, working at heights, and slip hazard management
- Pre-flight and post-flight inspections, including walk-arounds, defect reporting, and lock-out/tag-out of unserviceable equipment
- Management of airside vehicle and pedestrian movements, including segregation, marshalling, and communication protocols
- Manual handling of luggage, equipment, and aviation components to reduce musculoskeletal injury risks
- Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) specific to aviation environments, including hearing protection and high-visibility clothing
- Emergency response procedures for aviation incidents, fuel spills, fire, and medical emergencies on or near the airfield
- Management of environmental risks, including chemical storage, spill containment, and waste disposal from aviation operations
Who is this for?
This SWMS is designed for aviation operators, helicopter and fixed-wing service providers, agricultural and environmental contractors, maintenance crews, ground support staff, and site supervisors overseeing aviation-related activities.
