Contractor Permits

29.10.25

There are two types of permits used by Launceston Airport: 

  • A Permit to Work (PTW) –this permit is the overarching risk management process.  Depending upon the scope of work an additional Works Authority (Section 1.1) may also be required.  
  • Works Authorities – these authorities are applicable to specific risks. Such as working at heights or confined space entry. Works Authorities may not be issued without a PTW. 

Launceston Airport has implemented an electronic Permit and Works Authority application and approval system

The system, Dashpivot by Sitemate, allows contractors, external project managers and APAL staff to create and track permits and authorities. 

It is web based and an App is available to create and track Permits on the go.
