This guideline will assist mining operations to develop safe systems of work for fixed and mobile plant. It is structured to support a risk management approach to the isolation of hazardous energies where protection is required from:
- movement or operation of plant
- movement of materials handled by plant
- contact with energy used to operate plant
- contact with energy used to carry out processes associated with plant
- contact with energy produced or carried by plant
- contact with energy stored within plant.
