The premises at Casement Aerodrome used as transport workshops suffered some damage in recent storms. Following inspection of the entire building by personnel of the Health and Safety Authority, a prohibition notice was issued on 10 February 1998 requiring that normal work activity in the building be ceased. The terms of the notice have been complied with.
Plans for the provisions of workshops for the servicing and maintenance of road vehicles deployed at Casement Aerodrome are being reviewed in conjunction with the ongoing rationalisation of all vehicle workshops in accordance with the Defence Forces Review Implementation Plan, to ensure that "best business practice" is used in respect of servicing of all road transport vehicles including those of the Air Corps. This review will disrupt the servicing of the road transport vehicles including those deployed at Casement Aerodrome.
An officer in the rank of lieutenant has responsibility for overall health and safety functions, in addition to certain other Air Corps duties. A non-commissioned officer is appointed full time to duty in the health and safety area at Casement Aerodrome.
