until the fault is rectified must be provided to the person to whom the plant is supplied.
If second-hand plant is to be used for scrap or spare parts, the supplier must inform the person they are supplying the second-hand plant to that the plant is being supplied as scrap or spare parts and that the plant in its current form is not to be used as plant. This must be done in writing or by marking the item of plant.
Further information is available in the Code of Practice: Safe design, manufacture, import and supply of plant.

Installers
An installer is a person who conducts a business or undertaking who sets up, assembles, places in position and connects or otherwise makes plant ready for use. Installers have certain duties under the WHS Regulations (see Section 3.2 of this Code).

1.4 What is required to manage the risks associated with plant?

Regulation 203: A person with management or control of plant at a workplace must manage risks to health and safety associated with the plant.

Regulation 34-38: In order to manage risk under the WHS Regulations, a duty holder must:

    * identify reasonably foreseeable hazards that could give rise to the risk
    * eliminate the risk so far as is reasonably practicable
    * if it is not reasonably practicable to eliminate the risk, minimise the risk so far as is reasonably practicable by implementing control measures in accordance with the hierarchy of control
    * maintain the implemented control measure so that it remains effective, and
    * review, and if necessary revise, risk control measures so as to maintain, so far as is reasonably practicable, a work environment that is without risks to health and safety.

This Code provides guidance on how to manage the risks associated with plant in the workplace by following a systematic process that involves:
    * identifying hazards
    * if necessary, assessing the risks associated with these hazards
    * implementing and maintaining risk control measures, and
    * reviewing risk control measures.
Guidance on the general risk management process is available in the Code of Practice: How to manage work health and safety risks.

Providing and obtaining information
Designers, manufacturers, importers and suppliers all have duties to provide information about the plant to enable other duty holders to fulfil the responsibilities they have in managing the risks associated with it. This information must be given to each person to whom the plant (or its design) is provided. Information must be passed on from the designer through to the manufacturer and supplier to the end user. This information includes:
    * the purpose for which plant was designed or manufactured
    * the results of any calculations, analysis, testing or examination,
