Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Monitor the transfer of hazardous materials on an aerodrome
   • Location and timing of transfer is determined
   • Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and hazard management is implemented
   • Transfer of hazardous material is monitored to ensure compliance with standard operating procedures
   • Breaches of standard operating procedures are logged and reported
   • Apron areas are inspected for serviceability and identified spills, leakages or damage are reported
2. Respond to a hazardous materials incident
   • Correct category of spill is determined
   • Incident is reported to appropriate emergency response agency as required
   • Safety information on handling hazardous materials is located and utilised
   • Operational procedures and equipment for responding to a hazardous materials incident are employed
