7 CAP applies to all aerodrome operators whose aerodromes meet or exceedRunway code 2 AND are available for IFR traffic. It is also recommended toaerodrome operators whose aerodromes are outside this scope, to provide aconsistent approach to training and competence of personnel Driving in Airside Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is responsible for overseeing work-relatedsafety. They publish guides HSG 136 Workplace Transport Safety and HSG 209 Aircraft Turnround. This CAP enhances the HSE guides in respect of Driving on anaerodrome, in particular where vehicles and aircraft mix and the greatest risk is CAP also reflects the guidance in the European Action Plan for the Prevention ofRunway Incursions, Edition 2, Appendix C, Airside Vehicle Driver objective of this CAP is to set out requirements for a scheme designed tominimise the risk of accidents and injury to persons, damage to aircraft and property,arising from the use of vehicles in Airside areas.

8 Additionally, the requirementsrelating to permits for the manoeuvring and runway areas are directly aimed atreducing runway incursions. Guidance material is provided to support material in this document is therefore intended to assist aerodrome operators inestablishing an ADP Scheme that addresses the need for a consistent approach totraining and competence of personnel Driving in Airside time to time, the CAA will wish to supplement the guidance or requirementsgiven in this publication, and this will be achieved in the form of a specific documentor Information Notice. Where appropriate, such material will subsequently beincluded in the publication by amendment.
