Health Safety and Environment Committees
The PHPA continued to promote staff and contractor safety
and welfare via both an internal staff and management
represented committee and a whole of Port Health, Safety
and Environment Committee that met monthly.
Port Safety Inductions
The PHPA undertook a complete review of the Port’s
safety induction program and expanded it to include the
new Utah Point Bulk handling facility.
Port Security
The PHPA continued to implement rigorous security
measures within the Port to ensure compliance with
National Port and Maritime legislative requirements.
These included access control systems, on water patrols,
CCTV monitoring and extensive training, auditing and
exercise requirements.
The Port also implemented a levy of four cents per
gross registered tonne (GRT) to ensure adequate security
measures could be proactively implemented.
Port Maintenance
To assist with Utah Berth commissioning and ramp up,
the PHPA established a maintenance function at Utah.
Twenty one staff were recruited across two trade groups,
maintenance management and administrative areas.
Analysis of the plant enabled the construction of
relevant maintenance strategies and tactics for the entire
out load equipment at Utah. This information was loaded
into MEX (Computerised Maintenance Management
System) and forms the basis for all maintenance activity
at Utah.
