Road design guidelines require that the development and maintenance of the physical operating environment adequately considers prevailing site conditions, the experience of mobile equipment operators (controllers) and equipment types/mix. 

How do we currently meet this expectation? Is it relevant to us?

Why doesn't BI-03D.01 expectation not apply?

Please provide details of where the specification can be found. Provide specific references, that is text which requires this Business Input - not just a document name.

Mine Design engineering guidelines ask and answer the key questions:  

1. If truck haulage is considered, are the ramps designed to accommodate truck haulage? 
2. Can they be loaded and have adequate turning and dumping areas or are additional excavations required? 

1. What distance must equipment travel for repairs and refuelling? 
2. Is the loss of production opportunity less costly than the cost of establishing service and refuelling areas? 
3. Can we use satellite or technological systems that identify the positions of vehicles? 

Site road design guidelines provide site specifications for: 

• Grade 
• Curvature 
• Line of sight (including orientation of U/G portals, break-aways/intersections, management of doors/ventilation screens and longer haul roads) 
• Pavement shape 
• Surface / pavement material 
• Construction/mining of segregated roadways to separate HME and LVs as far as practicable 
• Guideposts/delineators/roadway (hanging wall) signage 
• Parking areas size and delineation
• Stockpiles, accesses to bins and roadways around infrastructure 
• Safety berms or windrows 
• Dump geometry (including tip heads) 
• Signs and barriers 
• Lighting (area and traffic control)

Scheduled and damage response repair works are included in the required activities of the Development and Road Construction crew(s) on site - with appropriate equipment to maintain roadway pavements and provide best possible driving directions with consideration of prevailing conditions, dust sources and other factors which impact vehicle operator's ability to safely operate.

Describe how the Business Input is implemented. Is it adequate, consistent, reliable, and repeatable? Do people know what is expected of them?

Development and subsequent road construction and maintenance crews undertake required roadway construction and maintenance tasks - confirming that designs are delivered and maintained.  

Road networks/excavations are constructed and maintained to meet designs

Please provide details of how the status of the Business Input is monitored.

Comments could cover how all mined openings are picked up by Survey to confirm alignment with design and/or identify non-conformances, and the use of work area inspections confirm the conditions of roadways on a regular basis.

Please list all relevant documents.

Please attach relevant documents.

The design and installation of delineators assists mobile equipment operators to accurately estimate separation distances.

How do we currently meet this expectation? Is it relevant to us?

Why doesn't BI-04D.05 expectation not apply?

Please provide details of where the specification can be found. Provide specific references, that is text which requires this Business Input - not just a document name.

Road designs and construction requirements include standards for the accurate spacing of delineators along the road network.

Spacing guideposts are placed at distances relative to the distance required to be maintained between mobile vehicles. Red reflectors must be used on the left, white on the right.

Describe how the Business Input is implemented. Is it adequate, consistent, reliable, and repeatable? Do people know what is expected of them?

Road construction crews place and maintain delineators at required distances.

Please provide details of how the status of the Business Input is monitored.

Comments could include roadway auditing, competency checks on road construction/maintenance crew members, and survey pick-up of delineation features

Please list all relevant documents.

Please attach relevant documents.

Loading mobile equipment is safe and productive.

How do we currently meet this expectation? Is it relevant to us?

Why doesn't BI-03P.11 expectation not apply?

Please provide details of where the specification can be found. Provide specific references, that is text which requires this Business Input - not just a document name.
The loading system must prevent the cabin from loads that exceeds the maximum weight impact to protect the operator.

Operational and safety requirements are specified in procedures and other documents and media e.g. instructional videos. They provide information to the operator about:

• Vehicle access
• Vehicle loading
• Vehicle exit
• Leaving the vehicle during loading
• Emergency response

They include relevant change management thresholds such as:

• Changes in vehicle type
• New operators

Engineering sign off that the loading system and the vehicle in use meet are fit for use.

Vehicle operators are trained and assessed in loading requirements including emergency response.
