It comes from within the CASA DAMP - Drug and Alcohol Management Plan that various aviation organisations must have in place:
Safety-sensitive aviation activities are:
· any actions taken by a person in an aerodrome testing area (including the persons presence in the area) other than as a passenger
· any of the following activities, wherever they occur:
o calculation of the position of freight, baggage, passengers and fuel on aircraft
o the maintenance, certification of maintenance or manufacture of aircraft, aeronautical products, ground based navigation aids or radar
o the fuelling and maintenance of vehicles that will be used to fuel aircraft on aerodrome testing areas
o activities undertaken by an airport security guard or screening person in the course of their duties as a guard or person
o activities undertaken by a member of the operating crew of an aircraft in the course of that persons duties as a crew member
o the loading and unloading of trolleys containing baggage for loading onto aircraft or unloading from aircraft and the driving of such trolleys
o activities undertaken by an air traffic controller in the course of the controller's duties as a controller, or the supervisor of such a person
o the provision of aviation fire fighting services; and
o providing flight information and search and rescue alert services:
o to a pilot or operator of an aircraft immediately before the flight of the aircraft,
o to a pilot or operator of an aircraft, during the flight of the aircraft;
o as an intermediary for communications between a pilot or operator of the aircraft and an air traffic controller
