plant should be dismantled in accordance with the designer's and manufacturer's instructions.

Disposing of plant may include reselling (in full or part) or scrapping (waste disposal and/or recycling). If the plant is to be resold, the seller will take on the duties of a person that supplies plant. The seller should ensure that the plant is safe to load, transport, unload and store. Any information relating to the plant design, registration, installation, operation and/or maintenance must be provided with the plant to the reseller or buyer.

If the plant is to be scrapped, you should consult with local waste disposal authorities or organisations so that the plant is safe to load, transport, unload and dispose of.
If the plant is to be used for scrap or spare parts, you must inform the person you are supplying the 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.

4. SPECIFIC CONTROL MEASURES

4.1 Guarding plant
A guard is a physical or other barrier that can perform several functions including:
    * preventing contact with moving parts or controlling access to dangerous areas of plant
    * screening harmful emissions such as radiation
    * minimising noise through the application of sound-absorbing materials, and
    * preventing ejected parts or off-cuts from striking people.

Regulation 208: If guarding is used, the person with management and control must ensure that:

    * if access to the area of plant requiring guarding is not necessary during operation, maintenance or cleaning, the guarding is a permanently fixed barrier
    * if access to the areas requiring guarding is necessary during operation, maintenance or cleaning, the guarding is an interlocked physical barrier
    * if it is not reasonably practicable to use a permanently fixed barrier or an interlocked physical barrier, the guarding is a physical barrier that can only be altered or removed using a tool, or
    * if it is not reasonably practicable to use a permanently fixed barrier, an interlocked physical barrier or a physical barrier fixed in position, the guarding includes a presence-sensing safeguarding system.

Guarding must:

    * be of solid construction and securely mounted so as to resist impact or shock
    * prevent by-passing or disabling of the guard
    * not create a risk in itself (for example it must not obstruct operator visibility, weaken the plant, cause discomfort to operators or introduce new hazards such as pinch points, rough or sharp edges)
    * be properly maintained
    * control any risk from potential broken or ejected parts and workpieces
    * allow for servicing, maintenance and repair to
