  2. Crane incidents in Western Australia – Recent learnings

  3. Power failure – testing runaways

  4. Power failure – testing – learnings Emergency stop devices do not always sufficiently simulate conditions under a power failure Depending on how the power failed, this can lead to a voltage “spike” Persons performing crane load tests require adequate testing criteria, and appropriate training to apply these criteria

  5. Deflection and/or alignment requirements – learnings Deflection and/or rail alignment requirements are as defined by: AS 1418.18 section 5.13 for structural deflections AS 1418.1 table 7.20.9 for the rail alignment DMP has identified mine sites with failed rails and rail fixings, primarily associated with misalignment and deflection incompatibility.

  6. Wind loading Uncontrolled movements of cranes due to wind load ‒why? Designs not considering correct loading or factors specified in AS 1170.2 Crane manufacturers not understanding design requirements Sites not following the requirements of design

  7. Wind runaways – requirements AS 1170.2 , section 2.3 states: AS 1418.1, section 2.2 states:

  8. AS 1170.0 table F3

  9. AS 1170.2 table 3.1

  10. Electrical isolation issues Regulation 5.29 Isolation of equipment Each responsible person at a mine must ensure that – electrical equipment at the mine is provided with full current isolating devices capable of being secured in the isolating position

  11. Typical arrangement of electrical isolation AS 1418, figure 8.10.2

  12. Recommended actions for isolation From AS 1418.1 … safety is frequently introduced by making the stop buttons latch in the open state, mechanically and by requiring a reset by a start button to re-establish the contactor independently of the reset of the stop button contacts. The system described may be characterised as fail-safe provided that the probability that the contactor will open when commanded (its intended service) is within the appropriate ranges…. Call these control switches rather than isolators – otherwise they need to be lockable
