Sheet: Safe Design Information

 |  | EDEEP - Safe Design Information (to be supplied to potential purchaser)
 | Equipment Details: Worked example - Integrated Bolter Miner
 | Risk Assessment reference number:
 | The information below summarises the outcomes of a task based risk assessment involving experienced mining company-based operational and maintenance staff
 | Task  # | Task | Potential Unwanted Event | EMESRT DP | Design feature/s which control the risk of injury or illness | Evaluation of the design feature/s including reference to additional documentation / reports | Suggested administrative controls
 | 2 | Roof bolting | Hazardous Manual Tasks | Manual tasks | Provision of a storage pod allowing bolts and plates and other supplies to be accessed without requring awkward postures. [NAME] rigs are oriented to place drill head close to platform. Platform space adjacent to bolting rigs is ample to allow miner wearing self-rescuer and battery to get as close as possible to drill head, reducing reach distance to 0.5m. A mesh carrier is provided which allows a mesh to be loaded via LHD and brought forward to the bolting rigs without manual handling.  An adjustable height platform is provided to minimise awkward postures associated with reaching roof mesh. Control layout and design allows operation without exposure to awkward postures or forceful exertions. | Attachment A provides general arrangement drawings which illustrates the space available on the platform and at the bolting workstation in relationship to the dimension of a large male wearing self-rescuer and cap lamp battery. The attached manual tasks risk evaluation (Attachment B) provides a detailed analysis of the manual tasks risks conducted by an independent ergonomist which concludes that while a risk of musculoskeletal injury remains as a consequence of the manual bolting process, the engineering controls employed reduce the risk of manual tasks related injuries ALARP. An assessment of the layout of bolting controls as required by MDG35.1 is provided (Attachment C). | Customers should ensure that the bolting supply pod is loaded on to the CM via LHD, and should consider task rotation.  Training in the correct use of the platform height adjustment is required.
 | 2 | Roof bolting | Struck by materials / Caught between moving objects | Harmful energies | Two handed control operation is required for fast feed operations. Hydraulic hosing in the operator workstation is behind covers or otherwise protected. | Engineering control prevents the operator from having a hand in a hazardous zone during fast-feed operations. The design meets the requirements of MDG 35.1 and MDG 41(see audits in Attachment D and E respectively). | Training and Supervision to ensure that two-handed operation is not defeated.
 | 2 | Roof bolting | Inadvertent or erroneous operation | Machine operation and controls | Guarding is provided to prevent inadvertent operation from falling materials. Controls are shape coded and in consistent locations to reduce selection errors. The controls cannot be interchanged during maintenance. Directional control-response relationships are compatible. | An evaluation of the Human Machine Interface conducted by an independent ergonomist (Attachment F) concludes that while the risk of of inadvertent or erroneous operation remains, it has been reduced to ALARP. | Training, and an objective assessment of operator competency, is recommended prior to operator certification.
 | 2 | Roof bolting | Fall on level | Access & WAH | Platform is single level and sufficiently wide to allow miners wearing self-rescuer and battery to walk without turning sideways. Storage locations are provided for dril steels, chemicals, plates etc which do not impinge on the walkway  and reduce the risk of tripping hazards. Platform lighting and handrails are provided. | See Attachment A for platform dimensions with respect to maximum likely operator size. Attachment A also provides photographs illustrating the location of bolting supply storage and handrails provided. A lighting survey is provided in Attachment G. These design features reduce the risk of falling on the platform ALARP. | Training and supervision to ensure the platform is maintained clear of materials.
