What about Gibraltar, traffic lights, boom gates and pedestrians all trying to dodge the easyjet and ryanair flights.

One of the best aerodromes you can fly into

It looks like parabellum might have started this thread with a view to a problem in Australia. As a general comment on safety issues in Australia, there are new Work Health & Safety Bills coming in 2012/2013 which will force a change in the Australian approach to safety analysis.

It will extend from analytically based (like the rest of the world) to include a "common law" basis and Justice Gibbs' famous dictum on negligence. As a result, the familiar ALARP, target levels of risk or safety and/or supporting Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) can no longer stand up on their own when something Goes Wrong and matters go to court - where post event common law scrutiny will be applied.

For those of you in the risk / liability / safety business in the Antipodes, there is a "Risk and Liability Management" course, run for Engineers Australia, by Richard Robinson of R2A. I have just finished attending it in Perth. I and most of the attendees were surprised at the extent of the change that the new Work Health & Safety Bills will bring. I'm suggesting here that if you're in the risk / liability / safety business, you look at the course. It is being run at least through 2012 at various locations.

On a positive note, more weight will be put on considering existing good practice, so this thread is a great start.

Thanks OveRun, PM sent to you.

At Gundaroo (YGDO) aircraft must give way to the steam train on the main taxiway!
