Safety Management
Hyd-Elec Equipment Services is committed to protecting the health, safety and welfare of all employees, contractors and visitors to workplaces. Injury and illness is often needless, costly and preventable. We will consult with employees and contractors to implement safety practices and systems that ensure health, safety and individual welfare. Such involvement is critical as part of ensuring a safe workplace.
Hyd-Elec Equipment Services has formulated a Safety Management Plan in accordance with the Guideline for Fluid Power System Safety at Mines (MDG 41)(MDG15).
MDG 41 Guidelines
These guidelines were originally set in place by the NSW government following an increase in fluid injection injuries. As identified in the MDG 41 guidelines, pressurised fluid power systems are a potential major hazard which may result in serious and fatal injuries if uncontrolled.
The MDG 41 guidelines were first drafted in 2010, and finalised in 2012, with the Queensland Department of Mines and Energy accepting and supporting the guidelines.
