Maintenance of fire protection equipment

Mine and Quarry sites have a multitude of fire hazards – in and around process plants, mobile equipment, conveyor belts, electrical installations, fuel and explosive storage installation areas to mention a few.
Because of the considerable harm potential, fire is often classified as a ‘principal’ hazard, and fire protection is an important and necessary risk management activity on any site. (Source: QLD Govt – Department of Natural Resources and Mines.)
