"Fly-in/fly-out" [refers] to a set of work arrangements for resource operations that are typically located at a distance from other existing communities. The work involves a roster system in which employees spend a certain number of days working on site, after which they return to their home communities for a specified rest period. Typically the employer organizes and pays for transportation to and from the worksite and for worker accommodations and other services at or near the worksite. 2, record 2, English, - fly%2Din%20fly%2Dout%20system

FIFO-DIDO is a workforce management model ... Mining companies favour FIFO-DIDO for practical reasons, such as the location of the mining site in a remote area, the temporary nature of the mining operations and the potential pressure in terms of housing and infrastructure ... FIFO-DIDO can require the employer to build worker camps to house out-of-town workers ... The camps can be located within or alongside the community, a few kilometers away or completely isolated from the nearest community ... On days off, these workers usually return to their principal residence, which can be located several hundred kilometers from the mine ... 1, record 3, English, - fly%2Din%2Ffly%2Dout%20and%20drive%2Din%2Fdrive%2Dout
