Major Hazard Standard MHS 03 - Aviation Standard documen Revision 3 issued 20 August 2001 ** Uncontrolled copy. Use latest revision ** PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of this Standard is to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries associated with the use of aircraft and WMC controlled ground facilities supporting aircraft operations. The scope covers: • The use of commercial airlines • The use of charter aircraft for the transport of passengers and cargo • The use of charter aircraft in specialised aviation operations • Aviation ground support services which are controlled by WMC. The requirements of this Aviation Standard do not apply when an independent freight service provider handles freight for WMC unless operating from a WMC controlled facility. DETAILS 1 General 1.1 Planning Aviation Operations The risks to personnel and property associated with aviation operations can be minimised if sufficient time is allowed to fully define the requirements, to establish necessary infrastructure and to arrange appropriate contracts. Safe and economically viable alternatives to the use of air operations should be considered. Guidelines to assist in the planning process are provided in Appendix D. WMC personnel shall not conduct private flying on company business. Aircraft operations for company business shall be provided only by scheduled airlines or approved charter companies. 1.2 Commercial Airlines Commercial Airlines should be used in preference to charter services when planning passenger movements. The selection of commercial airlines should use the following:- • Give preference to airlines using jet aircraft • Seek guidance on use of airlines who operate small or piston engined aircraft • Seek guidance on use of airlines in developing countries. If commercial airline services are not available, or if there are over-riding safety concerns regarding the available commercial airline service, charter companies may be used. Where concerns exist regarding the safety performance of commercial airlines in a particular area, guidance should be sought from the Site Aviation Coordinator (SAC), the contracted Aviation Consultant (AC) or from the WMC Aviation Coordinator. Lists of non-preferred commercial airlines are available on the WMC Intranet EOF Aviation page. 1.3 Responsibilities Regional managers, General managers, senior corporate personnel and all personnel having a responsibility for activities directly involving aviation operations shall be thoroughly familiar with the contents of this Standard and ensure compliance with its requirements. This Standard shall be implemented and monitored by the line management directly responsible for the aviation operations. WMC Aviation Coordinator The WMC Aviation Coordinator shall be appointed from within the WMC Group Supply function. The responsibilities shall include but not be limited to: • Providing assurance to the Group Manager Supply that aviation activities within WMC complies with the requirements of this standard including air operations and ground facilities • Appointing and managing the Aviation Consultant • Providing technical support and guidance across WMC • Disseminate the relevant information to all areas of the company including maintaining the WMC Aviation Intranet site • Manage the contract function for charter operations • Schedule and arrange audits on aviation charter companies • Maintain liaison with all Site Aviation Coordinators (SAC’s) Site Aviation Coordinator (SAC) Site Aviation Coordinators shall be identified for each group or operation. The SAC has specific aviation related responsibilities for the operational area to which the SAC is assigned which include: • Verifying site compliance with this standard and providing that assurance to the General Manager • Point of reference for the standard on site • Dissemination of the standard information to new charter operators on site SAF-MHS-03 Rev. 03 Docs 55221 Issued: 20/08/01 Page 2 of 29
