One of the things that strikes me is the "Risk Assessment" of the task, which nowadays is compulsory for such works as otherwise the HSE will get you for being "unsafe", never even considered any aviation issues about operating on a temporary surface that was not up to standard, but just documented a few random peripheral things like airfield vehicles and construction vehicles being in each others way - and even then it just says who is therefore responsible for that aspect, rather than giving concrete guidance.

Many of us feel that the " 'elf an' safety" so-called profession (as opposed to real flight safety overview done by aviation professionals) is nothing more than a make-work for those who follow it, and here is a typical example.
