Waste documentation: Bidders must maintain and produce on demand — waste contractor names, disposal site permits, monthly quantity reports (general/hazardous/recycled), waste manifests, and safe disposal certificates.
Hazardous Chemical Substances: All HCS must be labelled and handled per Material Safety Data Sheets; any spill must be cleaned immediately and reported to ACSA at once.
Equipment restrictions: No leaking vehicles or equipment permitted on airport property; washing, maintenance and refuelling only in designated service areas.
