Why doesn't BI-03P.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.

Prepare site specific information for vehicle operators on identifying and managing road surface changes based on vehicle type covering: 

• Weather variables such as rain, snow, ice  
• Changes in road sheeting  
• Over watering for dust control  
• During road maintenance or construction  
• Slips and debris (including responding to strata failure monitoring systems and observed conditions (surface and underground)) 
• Loading and unloading areas 

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

Training and Assessment that vehicle operators can identify and manage changing road conditions and stability of surrounding excavations/infrastructure.
Vehicle operators alert supervisors to problems with the road network. 

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

Comments could include supervision processes, TARP records, PTOs of vehicle operators.

Please list relevant documents.

Please attach relevant documents.

All vehicle operators are aware of the routes that they are expected to travel on based on the vehicle type that they are operating e.g. segregated routes for light vehicles.

There are multiple communication processes that provide expected route information to vehicle operators including:

• Preshift briefings
• Start of work roster traffic updates
• Maps
• Despatcher or supervisor advice
• Scheduling software
• Road signs

Ongoing briefings and checks that vehicle operators understand the road network and how they are expected to operate i.e. where they are and the direction that are to travel.

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

Comments could include oversight of pre-shift meeting records, competency checks on operators, supervision inspection processes, dispatch monitoring.

Mobile equipment operators follow road rules and adjust based on conditions and circumstances.

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.

Mobile equipment operators follow road rules and adjust based on conditions and circumstances by: 

• Decreasing speed 
• Increasing clearance distances
• Stopping if required
• Notifying hazards

Before moving off from being parked, vehicle operators carry out an around vehicle inspection e.g. a HV walk around inspection. 
If required by site - use of horns to indicate vehicle operation once prior to starting the vehicle, twice before forward movement, three times before reversing.
Where movement in constrained locations is required, a spotter is requested by the Operator and nominated by a Supervisor.

Demarcation requirements and processes to be in place to prevent Vehicles / Other Workers entering an area and causing a hazard when changed conditions arise including:

• Areas where commissioning or live testing of plant is occurring;
• Near roadworks or areas of changed road conditions;
• Around breakdown locations

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

Workers plan task and identify required hazard controls
As required, commissioning locations are demarcated (outside the potential movement range of the equipment) and other hazard controls are implemented.
Breakdowns and other events which interrupt or change a travel way are notified to other road users and appropriate demarcation and warnings are put into place. 

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

Comments could include permit to work records being checked, supervisor monitoring processes, area standard inspections.

Please list relevant documents.

Access to operational areas for personnel and mobile equipment is well managed. Barriers are in place that prevent unauthorised access including security (for site) and sentries/physical barriers (for blasting and other high consequence activities (including remotely operated mobile equipment) on site).

Why doesn't BI-04S.04 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.

Operational areas and other locations are delineated, sign posted and fenced to prevent access by stock, uninvolved workers and or third parties. Access points are either locked or controlled e.g. with boom gates, security/sentries.  There are regular inspections to confirm boundary, barrier and delineation performance integrity.

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

Security patrols confirm integrity of boundary and alert site personnel if entry is occurring / has occurred.  Sentries provide warning to approaching vehicles and notify workers inside perimeter if an entry is required to occur.  
Security patrols, sentries and other complete inspection forms to confirm site requirements are being met.  
Barriers to high consequence areas are installed and maintained to meet requirements.

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

Comments could include: security records, maintenance strategies for boundary elements (fences, gates, boom gates, etc.), supervisor records.
