Good Business Sense!

2. Regulations for Plant Objective for you to understand:
The purpose and requirements of the Regulations for Plant (WA) and NOHSC:1010 (National)
The purpose of, and requirements for, Plant Maintenance
The analysis techniques for both are the same
That neither are too difficult or onerous for you to do; and
For completeness, both should be completed together

4. Regulations for Plant Agenda
What is OH&S and what are the “Regulations for Plant”
What the “Regulations for Plant” requires of business and you
What effective Plant Maintenance requires of business and you
The differences in approach between the “Regulations for Plant” and effective plant maintenance
How both can contribute to your competitive prosperity

5. Regulations for Plant In general, how would you comply with
the OH&S requirements for a 400 bar high
pressure air vessel?
Can you comfortably sign a
“Safe to Use” certificate
for that pressure vessel in your business,
right now?

7. Regulations for Plant OH&S Act:
Intention is to develop a demonstrably safe work environment, through:
Workplace OH&S responsibility structure
Requirements for Plant Designers and Verifiers
Requirements for Plant Manufacturers and Installers
Requirements for Plant Users (Owners)
Requirements for OH&S and Owners in terms of
Licensing Plant designs
Permits for Use of certain types of plant.

8. Regulations for Plant OH&S Act requires:
Designers, Installers, Owners and Operators to
Determine any hazards associated with the use of the plant
Undertake a “risk assessment” of the use of plant
Determine any necessary risk control measures
Document and provide all such above information
The provision of an auditable trail of plant hazard and risk control measures decision making
The “Licensing to Use” and the “Registration of Design” of certain types of plant

9. Regulations for Plant What is ”Plant”?
WA: Items of physical equipment which, in order to work, requires the supply of energy of a kind other than, or in addition to, the energy supplied by the exertion of the body of a human or an animal.
VIC: Type of plant includes any component of the plant or type of plant and anything fitted, connected or appurtenant to the plant or typo of plant
NOHSC:1010 Includes any machinery, equipment, appliance, implement or tool and any component or fitting thereof or accessory thereto.

10. Regulations for Plant - WA
Persons who design plant to provide Information: A person who designs plant for use at a workplace must ensure that the person who manufactures the plant is to provide information relating to —
the purpose for which the plant is designed
testing or inspections to be conducted in relation to the plant
systems of work necessary for the safe use of the plant
the current design registration number (if any) issued by the Commissioner or by a regulatory authority for that kind of plant; and
emergency procedures relating to the plant
to accompany the plant when it is manufactured, supplied, installed or erected, inspected and used at a workplace.

11. Regulations for Plant
OH&S Act Regulations require the following records to be kept:
A list of the Plant in use
The Designed Use of that plant
The Actual Use of that plant
The foreseeable hazards associated with the use of that plant
The determined risk control measures
Maintenance etc performed on that plant
A signed “Safe to Use” certificate by the owner

17. Regulations for Plant How do you conduct a Risk Assessment?
AS/NZS 4360 Risk Management
Develop the Context of the risk assessment
Probability and consequence criteria
Prioritize hazards
Develop risk mitigation strategies and tasks
Implement
Review and monitor
US Military Standard 882C System Safety Program Requirements:
Context of the safety system
Criteria for probability and consequence
Prioritize the hazards using a hazard matrix
Develop risk mitigation strategies and tasks
Implement
Review and monitor

18. OH&S and Plant Maintenance
But what is the cost/benefit of NOHSC:1010 to Australia?
Reference: Economic Analysis on the Impact of 1010.
Currently:
70,000 plant related injuries each year in Australia; and
200 fatalities each year
Reduction of 24 per cent injuries would deliver:
Direct savings of $1.4b over 10 years
Indirect savings of $7.8b over 10 years
The cost to business for the next 10 years across Australia:
Hazard Identification $303M
Risk Control $3,357M
Training $903M
Record Keeping $123M
Plus all the other non monetary benefits from less injuries and trauma to individuals and families

19. Regulations for Plant What are the “Regulations for Plant” in:
Commonwealth
NOHSC:1010, since 1996
NSW
“Plant Regulations” in February next year
Victoria
OH&S Plant Regulations, since 1995 WA
Regulations for Plant, since 1996

20. Regulations for Plant How would you develop the
necessary maintenance tasks for
a 400 bar high pressure air vessel?
Can you confidently demonstrate to
that, as a result, the air vessel is both
“Safe to Use” and efficiently delivering
the required outputs for your business?

21. Regulations for Plant The principles of Plant Maintenance
Focus is upon what assets “do” or “their use”
Failure is defined in terms of what the business wants each asset to “do”
Maintenance tasks are developed by understanding:
What the business wants each asset to “do”
The hazards associated with each asset in the delivery of what it “does”
The likelihood of the occurrence of each hazard
The consequences to the business of each hazard
What needs to be done to reduce the likelihood and/or consequence of each hazard

23. Regulations for Plant
What are the differences between the approach for “The Plant Regulations” and that of Plant Maintenance?
The Plant Regulations primary focus is on personal and personnel safety
The focus of Plant Maintenance is both efficient and effective Plant performance and personal and personnel safety, and
But that both use the same risk analysis process

24. Regulations for Plant As a result, you can:
Use one simple, integrated, consistent and complete approach to the determination of:
OH&S requirements
Plant maintenance requirements
Even Plant operating tasks (start, run, stop and emergency) and
Plant instrumentation needs!

26. Regulations for Plant Smart businesses recognise that:
One simple analysis approach delivers all your maintenance and Plant Regulation needs
Both should be conducted at the same time to achieve an effective and a cost effective analysis process, and
Only one analysis, information and compliance system is needed to demonstrate both Plant Regulation and plant maintenance compliance
