Principal hazard management plans
• What is a principal hazard?
A hazard associated with mining operations that,
although it has a low likelihood of occurrence, has
the potential for multiple fatalities, including
cumulative
• What is a PHMP?
Plan that documents how risks to health and
safety of a person arising from principal hazard
will be eliminated or mitigated as far as is
reasonably practicable

PHMPs – roles and responsibilities
• CEO
– Mine Holder must appoint a Mine Operator
• Mine operators
– Required to identify principal hazards associated
with mining operation
– Ensure all workers are able to undertake basic risk
management (i.e. train and assess as competent)
• Health and safety representatives
– Must be involved in developing PHMPs

Principal control plans
• What is a principal control plan?
– Plan developed to manage risks arising from the
aggregation and/or interaction of principal hazards
– Identifies controls implemented to manage risks to
health and safety of persons in mining operations
– Monitors and ensures effectiveness of controls

Principal control plans cont.
• PCPs listed in national model legislation:
– Mechanical engineering
– Electrical engineering
– Ventilation
– Explosives
– Health
