Last updated: 17 February 2025

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.
