sec.116Safety and health management system

### sec.116 Safety and health management system A surface mine must have a standard operating procedure for the following— transporting explosives at the mine; inspecting and reporting on the safety of equipment used at the mine for manufacturing, storing, transporting and delivering explosives; taking appropriate action to make equipment mentioned in paragraph (b) safe; accounting for explosives brought onto the mine; checking for, and isolating, explosives that have deteriorated; minimising the risk of theft or misuse of explosives; identifying and controlling hazards— during the charging and firing of explosives; and in particular places, including, for example in a storage bin feeder in which an explosive is to be used to clear a blockage; finding, recovering and detonating misfired explosives; keeping a record about misfired explosives. The procedure for transporting explosives must address the following— packaging explosives for transport; the design of vehicles and compartments in which explosives are to be transported; marking packages, containers and vehicles used for transporting explosives; stowing and segregating explosives during transport; the appropriate load limit for vehicles carrying explosives; transport procedures necessary to reduce the probability and consequence of incidents; the competence required of persons for transporting explosives, including handling the explosives and mixing and discharging the explosives from vehicles; temporary storage; restricted areas; emergency response. The procedure for identifying and controlling hazards during the charging and firing of explosives must— have regard to the following— the proximity of unrelated activities to the charging and firing; ground conditions; and state the allowable period for the explosives to remain in the ground before being detonated. (sec.116-ssec.1) A surface mine must have a standard operating procedure for the following— transporting explosives at the mine; inspecting and reporting on the safety of equipment used at the mine for manufacturing, storing, transporting and delivering explosives; taking appropriate action to make equipment mentioned in paragraph (b) safe; accounting for explosives brought onto the mine; checking for, and isolating, explosives that have deteriorated; minimising the risk of theft or misuse of explosives; identifying and controlling hazards— during the charging and firing of explosives; and in particular places, including, for example in a storage bin feeder in which an explosive is to be used to clear a blockage; finding, recovering and detonating misfired explosives; keeping a record about misfired explosives. (sec.116-ssec.2) The procedure for transporting explosives must address the following— packaging explosives for transport; the design of vehicles and compartments in which explosives are to be transported; marking packages, containers and vehicles used for transporting explosives; stowing and segregating explosives during transport; the appropriate load limit for vehicles carrying explosives; transport procedures necessary to reduce the probability and consequence of incidents; the competence required of persons for transporting explosives, including handling the explosives and mixing and discharging the explosives from vehicles; temporary storage; restricted areas; emergency response. (sec.116-ssec.3) The procedure for identifying and controlling hazards during the charging and firing of explosives must— have regard to the following— the proximity of unrelated activities to the charging and firing; ground conditions; and state the allowable period for the explosives to remain in the ground before being detonated. - (a) transporting explosives at the mine; - (b) inspecting and reporting on the safety of equipment used at the mine for manufacturing, storing, transporting and delivering explosives; - (c) taking appropriate action to make equipment mentioned in paragraph (b) safe; - (d) accounting for explosives brought onto the mine; - (e) checking for, and isolating, explosives that have deteriorated; - (f) minimising the risk of theft or misuse of explosives; - (g) identifying and controlling hazards— (i) during the charging and firing of explosives; and (ii) in particular places, including, for example in a storage bin feeder in which an explosive is to be used to clear a blockage; - (i) during the charging and firing of explosives; and - (ii) in particular places, including, for example in a storage bin feeder in which an explosive is to be used to clear a blockage; - (h) finding, recovering and detonating misfired explosives; - (i) keeping a record about misfired explosives. - (i) during the charging and firing of explosives; and - (ii) in particular places, including, for example in a storage bin feeder in which an explosive is to be used to clear a blockage; - (a) packaging explosives for transport; - (b) the design of vehicles and compartments in which explosives are to be transported; - (c) marking packages, containers and vehicles used for transporting explosives; - (d) stowing and segregating explosives during transport; - (e) the appropriate load limit for vehicles carrying explosives; - (f) transport procedures necessary to reduce the probability and consequence of incidents; - (g) the competence required of persons for transporting explosives, including handling the explosives and mixing and discharging the explosives from vehicles; - (h) temporary storage; - (i) restricted areas; - (j) emergency response. - (a) have regard to the following— (i) the proximity of unrelated activities to the charging and firing; (ii) ground conditions; and - (i) the proximity of unrelated activities to the charging and firing; - (ii) ground conditions; and - (b) state the allowable period for the explosives to remain in the ground before being detonated. - (i) the proximity of unrelated activities to the charging and firing; - (ii) ground conditions; and
