Duties of persons conducting businesses or undertakings that design plant

  • Warning devices (2)

    The designer of the plant must ensure that the design provides for the device to be positioned on the plant to ensure the device will work to best effect.

  • Emergency stop controls

    If the design of the plant includes an emergency stop control for the plant, the designer of the plant must ensure that the design provides — (a) for the stop control to be prominent, clearly and durably marked and immediately accessible to each operator of the plant; and (b) for any handle, bar or push…

  • Emergency stop controls (1)

    If plant is designed to be operated or attended by more than 1 person and more than 1 emergency stop control is fitted, the designer of the plant must ensure that the design provides for the multiple emergency stop controls to be of the “stop and lock-off” type so that the plant cannot be restarted…

  • Emergency stop controls (2)

    If the design of the plant includes an emergency stop control for the plant, the designer of the plant must ensure that the design provides — (a) for the stop control to be prominent, clearly and durably marked and immediately accessible to each operator of the plant; and (b) for any handle, bar or push…

  • Warning devices

    The designer of the plant must ensure that the design provides for the device to be positioned on the plant to ensure the device will work to best effect.

  • Warning devices (1)

    This regulation applies if the design of plant includes an emergency warning device or it is necessary to include an emergency warning device to minimise risk.

  • Guarding (2)

    The designer must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that the guarding designed for that purpose will prevent access to the danger point or danger area of the plant.

  • Guarding (3)

    The designer must ensure that — (a) if access to the area of the plant requiring guarding is not necessary during operation, maintenance or cleaning of the plant — the guarding is a permanently fixed physical barrier; or (b) if access to the area of the plant requiring guarding is necessary during operation, maintenance or…

  • Guarding (4)

    The designer must ensure that the guarding is designed — (a) to be of solid construction and securely mounted so as to resist impact or shock; and (b) to make bypassing or disabling of the guarding, whether deliberately or by accident, as difficult as is reasonably practicable; and (c) so as not to cause a…

  • Guarding (5)

    If the plant to be guarded contains moving parts and those parts may break or cause workpieces to be ejected from the plant, the designer must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that the guarding will control any risk from those broken or ejected parts and workpieces.
