Major Hazard StandardSurface Mobile EquipmentPURPOSE AND SCOPEThe purpose of this standard is to eliminate fatalitiesand serious injuries associated with the use ofSurface Mobile Equipment (SME).This standard applies to all WMC and contractoremployees and visitors, and covers:• WMC surface mining operations• WMC processing plants• Off-mine site haul roads controlled by WMC.This standard is to be used in addition to theprovisions of any prevailing statutory requirementsIt does not cover:• Slag or molten material haulage(see SAF-MHS-04)• Heavy haulage on public highways.• Cranes whilst they are being used for liftingpurposes• Rail mounted vehicles.Where the provisions of this standard interface witheither the General Vehicles SAF-MHS-06 orUnderground Mobile Equipment SAF-MHS-05Standards, the General Manager shall develop asystem that ensures the standard to be followed isclearly identified for each situation.DETAILS1 IntroductionThe safe operation of SME is achieved by the use offit-for-purpose equipment, on fit-for-purpose roadsby competent persons who are fit for duty usingStandard Work Procedures (SWPs).This standard is intended to eliminate fatalities andserious injuries by developing:• Prevention strategies and procedures• Monitoring systems• Contingency plansand implementing them through the planning anddesign process to:• Equipment• Roads• Operations• Competencies.2 Planning and Design2.1 Risk Assessment and ControlAs part of the planning process, an Operational RiskAssessment (ORA) shall be conducted to determinerisks in the use and maintenance of SME. Controlsfor the identified risks shall be developed andincluded, where relevant, in equipmentspecifications, SWPs and operator competencyassessments.The mine design process shall consider theoperational flow of SME and shall minimise theinteraction of heavy and light vehicles.Consideration in the planning process shall be givento the flow of traffic and the location of buildingsand structures so that hazards due to uncontrolledmovement of SME are minimised.2.2 Equipment SpecificationsOperational and design specifications of existingand available SME shall be considered during thedesign phase to minimise the risks from theoperation of SME to all personnel.The SME specifications shall include:• Safe operating requirements for each nominatedtype of SME• A list of safety requirements for each type of SME(A list of minimum safety requirements is inAppendix D)• The controls identified from the ORA applicableto the SME selected.Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) shallprovide SME that meets the operational and designspecifications.2.3 Modifications and ChangePrior to a significant modification or change inSME, road design or operational requirements anORA shall be conducted.3 Equipment3.1 AcceptancePrior to the operation of any new SME, anappointed competent person shall assess the SME toensure that it meets the requirements of theoperating and design specification.For all existing SME an appointed competent personshall assess the SME to ensure that it meets therequirements of Appendix D of this standard.SAF-MHS-11 Rev. 1 DOCS No. 57101 Issued:19/06/00 Page 2 of 11
