GSAT

GENERAL SECURITY AWARENESS TRAINING has now been in existence since November 2007 and all staff working in the Restricted Zone (RZ) of a Department for Transport controlled airport will be holding a current certificate. However, newly recruited staff will need to undergo this training as a prerequisite to applying for an airport ID pass. For example, airside office workers, airline operations and passenger service staff, engineering and maintenance staff, aircraft refuellers, shop, catering, and other staff in the departure/arrivals areas. In short all staff other than those listed below who are required to hold an airside pass.

Who is exempt?
