So either we now have to pay for a forklift licence as well as training on handling LPG separately or forklift trainers need to up their game and add more training in about LPG? — Sarah Munro
Information regarding; any operations in the worker’s work area where hazardous substances are present (i.e. lpg on the forklift trucks), and the location and availability of known reference material on the hazards, safe handling, and storage of the hazardous substances found in the workplace, including (without limitation) safety data sheets (i.e. a SOP and the current compliant LPG SDS).
Training and instruction on:
Does your compliance certifier happen to also provide LPG handlers training by chance?issues receiving their DGC due to their forklift drivers not having LPG handlers training? — Sarah Munro
I've highlighted regulations as section 16 (Interpretation) defines regulations asthe collapse, overturning, failure, or malfunction of, or damage to, any plant that is required to be authorised for use in accordance with regulations; or
So plant such as cranes that are covered under HSE PECPR Reg or critical plant in under the HSWA MHF Regs would be included and require notification, but a trailer that needs a licence/WoF under the Land Transport Act regulations wouldn't.regulations means regulations made under this Act
I only provide details when a job is starting and only to the site that requires the information, Our workers also carry the green book with quals inside and that tends to get us through. At the initial stages, I only provide that we hold the quals required for the job I even withhold names for D&A tests and just provide a declaration of the tests being done. I am not hiding anything just only providing the information required only to the parties that need it and not all an sundry — Don Ramsay
I get where you are going with your point, that we should be more focused on what we can learn from the event to reduce the chance of future similar events, rather than the classification of the event itself.Not really sure if "Is this notifiable" is the right question.
Is it significant? Yes
Are there learnings we could take from the event? Yes
...
Get into it pre(another)incident. — Phil Wilkes
I would read from the context — Don Ramsay
Great minds! Saw this after I posted my reply.Having read the article — Don Ramsay
nearly all events on site would be notifiable. — Robb
immediate or imminent exposure — Robb
If in doubt - Fill the form out.
Nobody has ever gotten into trouble for over reporting — Chris Hyndman
Again it would potentially depend on if the incident happened during road transport (or after it was considered secured for transport) or during loading/unloading. It looks like there is a offense in the Land Transport act for failing to secure a load (and strict liability if you do fail to), but there seems to be no obligation in the act to specifically report a lost load to the regulator (NZTA or applicable RCA) so unless caught red handed you could get away with it.Would it not be considered an insecure load so come under the land transport act, so would not be reportable to worksafe — Don Ramsay
The item was a metal fuel pump. WorkSafe have said no. — Michael Wilson
That's a huge part of the whole issue Matt, we have an Electrical Regulator that isn't fit for purpose, it lacks the resources to get Regulations citing Standards updated to the latest versions, much less investigate instances of non compliance, or provide clear guidance on alternative solutions to safe outcomes that will comply with the various provisions of the regulations that it is responsible for . — Steve H
It's interesting that Energy Safety's "advice" on Testing and Taagging, doesn't provide for any alternative way to get to "deemed safe" Matt, and discharge the obligation that Reg 15 imposes, and thus far no one else has either, but you are correct, the absence of a tag doesn't make the item "unsafe", but it does mean the "safety" of the item is unknown — Steve H
following the get out of jail card afforded by following Reg 26 to get to "deemed safe" — Steve H
Are There Any Instances Where Testing And Tagging Is Required? — Steve H
5 Using works, installations, fittings, appliances, and associated equipment
(1) A person who owns or operates works, installations, fittings,or appliances must not use, and must

I think that there is the crux of the TnT issue....who seem to barely understand what it is that they are there to do. — Steve H
Any chance you have a copy of the paper you could share Chris?think the "decluttering" idea emerged from an academic paper in 2018 (Rae, A., Provan, D., Weber, D. E., & Dekker, S. (2018). Safety clutter: the accumulation and persistence of ‘safety’ work that does not contribute to operational safety. Policy and Practice in Health and Safety, 16(2), 194-211. — Chris Peace
