Sterile Areas definition
Sterile Areas means those areas of the terminals declared a “security area” by the Director of Civil Aviation pursuant to section 84(1) of the Civil Aviation Act 1990. To achieve such a declaration, the CAA attaches its signed declaration to maps or plans of such areas, specifying the boundaries where signage in CAA-mandated styles should be attached. These maps or plans are updated from time to time, with the current versions at the time of publication of these Airport Workers’ Rules reproduced overleaf. Typically, Sterile Areas fall between the Avsec screening point/s where passengers, their carry-on bags, crew, workers and all retail goods or supplies have been security screened and the aircraft boarding gate, into which access is strictly controlled and the mixing of screened persons and unscreened persons or unscreened goods must be prevented.
