### sec.64F Content of joint interaction management plan
A joint interaction management plan must—
be stored or kept together with the other parts of the safety and health management system for the coal mine; and
identify, if any, each IMA, RMA and SOZ in the overlapping area; and
identify the hazards and assess the risks to be controlled that—
are, or may be, created by the coal mining operations or petroleum activities carried out in the overlapping area; and
affect, or may be likely to affect, the safety and health of persons in the overlapping area; and
for each risk—identify the triggers or material changes, or likely triggers or material changes, that—
must be monitored to ensure the safety and health of persons in the overlapping area; and
will require the plan to be reviewed; and
for each trigger or material change identified under paragraph (d) —
state the response procedures and times; and
state the type of action required for the response; and
a risk analysis
notice to the operator of an operating plant in the overlapping area of—
a drop in hydrostatic pressure that may show a potential hazard to persons carrying out authorised activities under a petroleum lease; or
a change in water level that may indicate differences in fluid interconnections with an adjacent petroleum lease
state the reporting procedures; and
if there is proposed, or there is likely to be, interaction with other persons in the overlapping area—
describe the proposed or likely interactions and how they will be managed; and
identify the specific risks that may arise as a result of the proposed or likely interactions and how the risks will be controlled; and
identify the safety responsibilities of each person; and
state the name of the operator and any other person responsible under the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004 for each operating plant; and
describe the way in which the plan will be reviewed and revised, including ongoing consultation with the persons mentioned in paragraph (f) ; and
describe the way in which details of any new site senior executive, or other senior person in the management structure, will be communicated to all operators of operating plants in the overlapping area; and
include any other information prescribed by regulation.
A regulation may prescribe a guide of potential hazards that may be created by coal mining operations in relation to exploring for or producing coal seam gas or petroleum (the potential hazard guide ).
The potential hazard guide must be referred to for help in identifying the hazards and assessing the risks mentioned in subsection (1) (c) but is not intended to be exhaustive.
To remove any doubt, it is declared that a joint interaction management plan may apply to more than 1 overlapping area.
