sec.100 Selection and design

A person who has an obligation under the Act to manage risk at a mine in relation to the selection and design of plant must ensure— the plant— is fit for its intended use and use in its intended work environment, including, for example, a hazardous area; and is ergonomically compatible with persons operating or maintaining the plant; and has appropriate provision for safe access, egress and maintenance; and if it is necessary for managing risk from the plant and it is reasonably practicable, the plant— fails to safety; and does not fail catastrophically or by common mode or cascade failure; and incorporates appropriate engineering controls to protect the plant operator and other persons; and guards on moving parts, rollover protection, falling object protection, noise insulation or seatbelts incorporates appropriate backup systems to ensure plant remains under control if its primary system fails; and a vehicle’s parking brake to backup its service brake is designed so its condition and performance can be monitored and incipient failures detected. In this section— hazardous area means an area in which an explosive atmosphere is present, or is likely to be present, in quantities requiring special precautions for the construction, installation and use of potential ignition sources. electrical equipment, naked flames, sparks from grinding and welding operations, and hot surfaces (sec.100-ssec.1) A person who has an obligation under the Act to manage risk at a mine in relation to the selection and design of plant must ensure— the plant— is fit for its intended use and use in its intended work environment, including, for example, a hazardous area; and is ergonomically compatible with persons operating or maintaining the plant; and has appropriate provision for safe access, egress and maintenance; and if it is necessary for managing risk from the plant and it is reasonably practicable, the plant— fails to safety; and does not fail catastrophically or by common mode or cascade failure; and incorporates appropriate engineering controls to protect the plant operator and other persons; and guards on moving parts, rollover protection, falling object protection, noise insulation or seatbelts incorporates appropriate backup systems to ensure plant remains under control if its primary system fails; and a vehicle’s parking brake to backup its service brake is designed so its condition and performance can be monitored and incipient failures detected.
