Equipment selected for site use is fit for purpose and delivers safe and productive outcomes.

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

Why doesn't BI-02D.02 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.

Mobile equipment specifications are in place that include requirements for: 

• Cabin integrity and operator restraint (seat belts)  
• Auto shutdowns 
• Ergonomics of control panels/devices 
• Warning devices e.g. tilt switches, proximity alarms 
• Protective devices for emergencies (fire, collision, etc.) 
• Egress / escape by alternate exit in the event of an emergency e.g. through non-laminated glass windows 
• Required ratings for Light Vehicles 
• Confirming that statutory conformance requirements are met for Heavy Vehicles e.g. ROPS / FOPS and head/whiplash protection.
• As required the installation self-rescuers for vehicles that may be engulfed e.g. dozers that operate on stockpiles 

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

Senior managers including representative of operations and maintenance approve equipment selection recommendations.
A rigorous introduction to site process checks that received mobile equipment meets site requirements before it is permitted to operate.

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

Comments could address how standards are kept current with emerging requirements, maintenance strategies to address requirements, and oversight of role holders who document the site requirements for mobile equipment.

Please list all relevant documents.

Please attach relevant documents.

Maintenance strategies for new to site plant include raising work orders for all related systems, components, lights, signage and markings.

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

Comments could address development of maintenance strategies for all plant on site, inclusion of contractor equipment in site registers, and audits of deployed equipment vs maintenance strategies in the CMMS.
