Introduction
Environmental sustainability enables an organization to report on the impacts of their
operations on environmental issues. Sustainability issues are reported through the sustainability
report. Melbourne airport report on environmental sustainability enlists the actions committed
through the 2013 Environmental Strategy and Airport master plan. It enlists further opportunities
that reduce the carbon footprints of the airport to meet the Victorian Governments goal of zero
emissions by the year 20150. The sustainability issue by the airport supports the Australian
government to the Paris Agreement signed by a host of countries on climatic changes. The
changes have been embedded in the 2018 master plan and environmental strategy draft (Barr,
2016).
1.0 Aim of Environmental sustainability policy
The airport is committed to climatic change. The airport through environmental sustainability is
to reduce the emission and planning for the future of climatic changes. Sustainability reporting
enables Melbourne airport to consider the impact of the wide range sustainability environmental
issues while enabling them to be more transparent about the opportunities and risks they face.
Develop workplace sustainability policy
Be firmly aware of strictly complying with the requirements of the Australians air legislation,
rules, regulations and procedures for aviation security, general rules for the carriage of
passengers, baggage and cargo by air in terms of the implementation of aviation security
measures (Bichou, 2015). At the entrance to the inspection point, check the air tickets and check

the documents with the passenger’s identity, offer the passengers to present any metal items they
may have, as well as dangerous substances that are forbidden to be carried on the aircraft.
1.1 Stakeholders are identified and consulted as a key component of the policy development
process 30 words
Who are the stakeholders involved in the Victorian Logistics and Transport Industry?

 Government agencies
 VicRoads
 Police
 Port of Melbourne
 Suppliers
 Passengers using the airport
1.2 Strategies for minimizing resource use
Minimizing the effects of pollution in the airport is by using fuel free from toxic pollutants
like carbon. Using environmentally friendly sources of energy like the solar powered lighting
systems and generators other than using bio diesel fuels. While consumption from aeroplanes
may be mainly from fuel, it is good to not that eco-friendly fuel is used today in most parts of the
aviation industry (Christopher, 2016).
1.3 Recommendations are made for policy options based on likely effectiveness, timeframes
and cost
Thus, the introduction of environmental impact assessment into a legal environmental
protection mechanism as an element in a coherent system of other legal preventive measures

4
prevents the emergence of economic and other facilities or economic activities in violation of the
laws on nature conservation and the use of natural resources.
1.4 Policy developed reflects the organisation's commitment to sustainability as an integral part
of business planning and as a business opportunity
proposals for the improvement of work related to the duties provided for in this job description -
require all employees of the Melbourne airport and enterprises not belonging to the Melbourne
airport, but located on the airport, to strictly comply with the instructions on access control and
internal facilities (Coyle, Langley, Novack, and Gibson, 2016); - to offer passengers to present,
perhaps, their substances and items prohibited for transportation on civil aircraft - withdraw
(with the drawing up of the deed of withdrawal) from passengers the weapons, ammunition,
substances and objects that are prohibited for transportation in the salons of civil aircrafts
discovered during the inspection - to detain persons violating aviation safety requirements for
transfer to police officers
1.5 Appropriate methods of implementation are agreed
The responsibility of the inspector for the inspection of the SAB is for: - non-compliance
disagreement or inadequate performance of duties provided for in this job description; - failure to
comply with aviation safety requirements, access control and internal facility conditions; - failure
to meet deadlines for the implementation of work plans, instructions and orders of the
supervisor; collective and labor agreements, internal labor regulations (Durant, 2017)
Section 2 Sustainability Practices
Communicate the policy

2.1 The policy, including its expected outcome, is promoted to key stakeholders
Resource usage
There are three strategies for when identifying suspicious things and objects immediately
notify the LOP officer and the head of the inspection team. Comply with the requirements of
aviation security, access control and internal mode. know and be able to use a personal computer,
electronic systems and software installed at the workplace, printing devices, office equipment
and communication facilities, to ensure the safety and operability of the entrusted equipment.
Know the requirements of the “Quality Policy and follow them in work. Timely address issues
related to the prevention of failures, violations and other inconsistencies of the technological
process (Grant, Wong, and Trautrims, 2017). In full and in a timely manner, perform the tasks of
higher-level managers for the production of works, issued within the limits of the duties of the
employee under an employment contract defined by this job description;
Time effects
Waiting to get to the loaded and unloaded time is approximately three hours. The time
spent in traffic jams makes the workplace inefficient. The queuing requirements or the effects of
queuing is that it creates an organized system in which loading and unloading is done. It ensures
the required quality of work performed, provided for by international, state, industry or
enterprise standards, instructions, rules, norms, technologies for work performance and other
regulatory legal documents.
Intersection and traffic management – do we need more traffic lights or roundabouts?
Communication techniques

6
Meet the requirements of standards, regulations and other documents of the quality
management system related to its activities. By order of the supervisor, to be directly involved in
the development and implementation of current, future and other plans. Report to the immediate
supervisor of all identified violations and shortcomings in connection with the work performed.
Complying with labor protection requirements and correctly apply the means of collective
protection. be trained in safe methods and techniques for performing work and providing first aid
to injured people at work, briefing on labor protection, on-the-job training, testing knowledge of
labor protection requirements. Environmental standards in the implementation of production
activities.4 Occupational safety at the enterprise Protection of labor is a safety system life and
health of workers in the course of employment, including legal, socioeconomic, organizational
and technical, sanitary and hygienic, treatment-and-prophylactic, real-life and other measures
(Fernie, and Sparks, 2014).
As part of the airport there is a labor protection service (OT). are: - organization of work
to ensure the fulfillment by workers of labor protection requirements; - information and advice to
the employer and workers on labor protection issues; - preparation of materials for the
performance of certification working places; - improving preventive work to prevent industrial
injuries, occupational diseases caused by production factors, and working to improve working
conditions; - measuring the parameters of hazardous and harmful factors of the working
environment in order to certify workplaces and production control of compliance with sanitary
and hygienic standards, with the formulation of relevant protocols; - the study, analysis and
dissemination of positive experience in occupational safety.

7
The functions of the labor protection service are: - recording and analyzing the state and
causes of occupational injuries and occupational diseases caused by production factors; -
organization of the investigation of accidents at work, participation in the commission for the
investigation of an accident at work in accordance with the "Regulations on the features of
investigations “Accidents at work in selected industries and organizations (Grant, Wong, and
Trautrims, 2017) - development, together with the heads of departments, of the Agreement on
Labor Protection, plans of measures to improve working conditions and health, prevent
occupational injuries, occupational diseases and diseases caused by production factors; providing
organizational and methodological assistance for the implementation of planned activities; -
conducting, together with representatives of relevant departments and with the participation of
authorized persons for labor protection, the primary trade union organization of inspections,
surveys of the state of sanitary facilities, sanitary facilities, collective and individual means.
2.2 Those involved in implementing the policy are informed of outcomes expected and
activities to be undertaken, and responsibilities are assigned
Recommendation
The section on impact assessment (Environmental Impact Policy) is a mandatory
component in any environmental project.Subjects of any organizational and legal forms of
ownership when planning an economic or other activity that may have both direct and indirect
impact on the environment are required to develop a draft environmental impact policy. The
purpose of the environmental impact assessment is to determine the degree of danger and the

8
nature of the consequences for the environment, public health, etc. from the planned activity, as
well as to prevent and mitigate the negative components of the impact of these effects.
The draft environmental impact policy is carried out at the stage of justifying investments. It is
important that the information used on the natural conditions of the territory and the state of its
components (air, resources and subsoil, ground and surface waters, etc.) be as complete and
reliable as possible.
Objectives of the environmental project environmental impact policy
The tasks that must be solved during the development of the environmental impact policy project
include:
- assessment of the state of the environment before the introduction of planned design decisions,
that is, the determination of the initial properties and characteristics of the environment in a
certain area and the identification of components that can be directly influenced in the process of
implementing design decisions.
- identification of the main factors and types of negative impact arising from the implementation
of planned solutions: air pollution, acoustic noise, impact on the soil and groundwater, surface
water, general environmental impact (Hugos, 2018)
- justification of the indicators of maximum allowable impact on the basis of environmental
management rules and limiting factors of the proposed type of activity;

9
- development of a plan of measures to neutralize or reduce negative impacts on the ecosystem,
taking into account all possible achievements in this field, the use of energy and resource saving
technologies, environmental protection systems, etc.
In addition, the environmental impact policy project may include determining the
potential of territories in terms of availability of useful resources, the background state of the
ecosystem, analysis of the impact of negative technological factors (falling within the boundaries
of industrial enterprises, the presence of waste dumps, etc.), evaluation of alternative options for
implementing project measures , environmental impact assessment during the construction of the
facility and its liquidation, monitoring public opinion by organizing hearings and opinion polls
(Hugos, 2018).
What threatens the lack of an environmental impact policy project?
The customer of the planned facility and the developer of the pre-project and project
documentation are fully responsible for complying with all laws of the Australian government
during the preparation and approval of materials, design, construction and operation of the
enterprise. If during the operation of the facility there will be a direct or indirect serious
environmental damage, this will entail criminal liability. Violations on the part of preparation,
coordination and maintenance of documents, including the draft OVOZ, leads to administrative
liability in the form of fines - up to five thousand rubles for officials and up to one hundred
thousand rubles for legal entities (Jacobs, Chase, and Lummus, 2014).
Recommendation
<Outline recommended strategy(s) for minimizing waste in supply chain activities

10
Environmental impact assessment of the proposed activity or environmental impact
policy originated to protect the environment from the negative effects of humans. The public is
involved in the discussion of the materials of the environmental impact policy project. Not only
environmental, but also socio-economic changes are considered, ways to minimize negative
consequences are being sought.
The following are the strategies for minimizing waste in a supply chain
1. Registration of the technical specifications for the implementation of the environmental
impact policy, containing the analysis of the initial data and a preliminary assessment of the
proposed activity. Coordination of technical specifications in the State Ecological Expertise.
Organization of meetings and discussions with local authorities and representatives of the public.
2. Conduct research and project development. Designation of pollution sources, indication of the
levels of the expected effects on the atmosphere, water and soil resources, the degree of acoustic
pressure. Search for protective measures to prevent or reduce negative effects.
3. Release of the final version of the environmental impact policy documentation with the
minutes of discussions, comments and suggestions, certified by the customer. Transfer of
materials for approval to the Public State Environmental Expertise (Lehmann, and Joseph, 2015).
4. Technological analysis of all sections of the environmental impact policy project: economic
justification, state of the environment, sources of impacts, anticipated consequences, their
severity, carried out by public authorities with public participation. Adjustment of the project,
consideration of additional measures for the safety of the environment.

11
5. Release of the Environmental Impact Statement (EPA), which is the final stage of the
environmental impact policy project. In the EPP, the conducted studies, the expected
consequences, the customer's obligations to the public and the guarantee of their implementation
are indicated.
What is the timeline and cost of the environmental impact policy?
The whole range of services for the development of environmental impact policy is rather
complicated and time consuming, on average, it takes 30 calendar days. Preparation and approval
of each specific project of the environmental impact policy depends on many factors, therefore
its cost is determined individually.
Environmental Impact assessment.
Under the environmental impact assessment (environmental impact policy) is understood
as an activity aimed at determining the nature and extent of the potential impact of the planned
activity on the environment, the expected environmental and related social and economic
impacts during and after such a project and developing measures to ensure rational use natural
resources and environmental protection from harmful effects in accordance with the
requirements of current environmental legislation.
OH&S and Environmental Compliance
In the mechanism of environmental law, environmental impact assessment performs the
functions associated with identifying potential environmental harm to the planned economic and
other activities and developing measures to prevent it. If a state environmental review is a legal
means of ensuring that environmental requirements are taken into account and fulfilled at the

12
stage of making an economic, managerial and other decision, then environmental impact policy
is the main legal means of ensuring accounting and meeting these requirements at the stage of
preparing an appropriate economic decision.
The principal is the question of the objects of the planned economic and other activities subject
to environmental impact assessment. In the past 10 years, two approaches have been
implemented on this issue in Australia (Mangan, Lalwani, and Lalwani, 2016). The annex to the
Regulation on Environmental Impact Assessment in the Australian contained a specific list of
activities or objects for which an environmental impact assessment was to be carried out.
The current regulation is based on a different principle: an environmental impact
assessment is carried out for planned economic and other activities, the justifying documentation
of which is subject to environmental impact assessment in accordance with the Law on
Environmental Impact Assessment. This is a wide range of planned activities, including
integrated and targeted socio-economic, scientific, technical and other projects, the
implementation of which can have an impact on the environment, feasibility studies and
construction projects, reconstruction, expansion, technical re-equipment, conservation and
liquidation of enterprises and other objects of economic activity, etc. In this section they are
considered as objects of environmental impact assessment.
Equal Employment Opportunity Compliance
In employment, the best way to get an employee is by merit. When conducting an
employee opportunity compliance in an airport like Melbourne, experience and attitude towards
