Working with industry since 2006
This information provides the business inputs which address failure modes of mobile equipment which relate to poor integration of on-board systems. The listing of failure modes is shown in detail in the Important Documents section on the right – but in essence, they relate to:
The business inputs which address these types of failure modes are presented in the listing of business inputs shown below the failure modes.
Required protective system health checks before operation are documented and communicated in a style that is appropriate for the audience. [More...]
Accountability for the selection of mobile equipment is assigned to a suitably experienced and qualified person(s).[More...]
Accountability for the maintenance of fire detection and suppression systems assigned to a suitably experienced and qualified person(s).[More...]
Only plant (including mobile equipment and monitoring systems) that meets site requirements is used on site. [More...]
Mobile equipment cannot be operated inadvertently if the fire detection and suppression system is operable e.g. isolated or has been discharged.[More...]
Sites have a process to track and manage information related to equipment deployed on the site. The process should mesh with maintenance strategies and provide a single point of truth for test/inspection information related to registered/regulated components.[More...]
Equipment selected for site use is fit for purpose and delivers safe and productive outcomes.[More...]
Equipment specifications include details on components that contain or contain flammable liquids. Where relevant, these reference standards, regulatory requirements and other industry information.[More...]
Equipment specifications include details on electrical systems and these reference relevant standards, regulatory requirements and other industry information.[More...]
Industry project OEM equipment is designed so that: * Fire suppression systems can be readily installed, maintained and are protected during normal operations and maintenance. * Installed fire detection and suppression systems remain functional and can be activated during the first phases of an equipment fire i.e. they are not the first system to fail.[More...]
Manufacturers, dealers and equipment assemblers have formal quality management processes in place to ensure that their products meet all required standards.[More...]
Sites have specifications for batteries that start mobile equipment and feed other power circuits.[More...]
Equipment should be specified and sourced which includes provision for fire suppression installation, operation and maintenance to meet site requirements.[More...]
Design requirements for fuel and exhaust on mobile equipment should be included in specifications required from suppliers of this equipment. Formal processes for confirming the provided equipment meets these requirements should support consistently meet site requirements for fuel and exhaust systems.[More...]
Sites should prepare specifications that OEMs/suppliers confirm are met for flammable liquid lines on mobile plant. These engineering specifications should meet site requirements for filling, operation, maintenance and integrity during normal and any incident/emergency situation.[More...]
Sites should include design requirements for fuel shut in their specifications provided to OEMs/Suppliers and site maintainers to prevent any unwanted conditions arising during filling, operation (including abnormal operations/incidents) or maintenance of the mobile plant.[More...]
Industry Project Equipment and equipment component suppliers provide a fire protection evaluation of their products.[More...]
