| Organisation | ARTC |
| Action date | 20/04/2012 |
| Action description |
In relation to the new TOA form, in order to ensure that it was distributed and used across its relevant networks, ARTC conducted extensive briefings with all employees and contractors who had worked on the ARTC network in NSW, in particular POs. In those briefings, the changes to the form were explained and it was made clear that, from the date of implementation (13 November 2011), only the new form could be used. Accordingly, new 'books' of forms were provided to those who attended and requested them, and further supplies are available on request. |
| ATSB response |
