The Airports’ Authority of Jamaica (AAJ) overseas six airports in Jamaica, including the Ian Fleming International Airport (IFIA). As part of a 20-year project to resurface pavements at IFIA, a new technology was used to reduce the time associated with mixing and laying asphalt pavements. The AAJ contracted the work through a company that used a 300-foot machine to mill, mix, add hot tar, and lay and pack asphalt all in one pass. It should be noted that the JCAA requires that this process can only be implemented for noncritical surfaces. You are required to conduct a hazard identification and risk assessment exercise for the pavement works to be performed, using the Risk Assessment Matrix provided. Mitigation measures must also be demonstrated in the exercise.
