of the plant, for example if you sell the plant, those records should be transferred to the person who purchased the plant.

If there is a presence sensing safeguarding system at a workplace the person with management or control of the plant must keep a record of safety integrity tests, inspections, maintenance, commissioning, decommissioning, dismantling or alterations for the life of the plant or until control is relinquished or in any other case for 5 years.

While you must keep records associated with plant requiring design or item registration, it is good practice to keep records for other types of plant in your workplace. Keeping records of the risk management process demonstrates potential compliance with the WHS Act and Regulations. It also helps when undertaking subsequent risk assessments.

Records on items of plant that may be kept could include:
    * the unique plant identification number
    * plant design registration information
    * relevant data from commissioning
    * compliance statements and/or test certificates
    * manufacturer's specifications and user manuals
    * results of inspections
    * results of tests on the plant including safety devices (for example, protective earth continuity tests, testing of mechanical guarding, stop time measurement)
    * information on maintenance and major repairs carried out
    * information on major modifications
    * information on use that deviates from intended operating or design conditions
    * results of risk assessments carried out on plant
    * information, instruction and training provided to workers, and
    * competencies of operators.
