I'm sure Nigel will know.

There is a lightning alert system in place at Sydney. It strobes white for 10Nm lightning in conjunction with a siren and flashes blue at 5Nm with a different siren tone. The alert systems are installed on nearly every bay as well as the heliport.

It is up to the individual company as to what their OH&S policy states in relation to storms. Most, if not all companies follow the 5Nm/10Nm system at Sydney.
