Information

  • CONTEXT / PURPOSE - Description of Work

    There have been a number of HME Access System incidents that have been assessed as having significant potential.Following the incident investigations we need to audit other HME to stop them recurring. The attached questions have been identified as part of the investigations and from syndications across the business. Each asset and Fleet type may be different, due to when they have been purchased and or subsequently modified, so it's important to ensure all questions are answered asset by asset.

OPERATIONAL

  • Does machine have an access system?

  • Can the access system operate WITHOUT a physical switching action from the operator?<br><br>If yes note the action required

  • Does the access system automatically operate the park brake?<br><br>If yes note the action required in comments

  • Does the park brake release if the access system is not fully stowed?<br><br>If yes detail action required in comments

  • Does the park brake set if the access system moves out of the stowed position?<br><br>If yes note action required in comments

  • Is safe access / Egress from the cab reliant on correct shutdown procedure ? i.e. platform descends when park brake is set?<br><br>If yes note actions required in comments

  • Does the operation of the access system take the person to a height above 1.8 metres?<br><br>If yes note review from work at heights is required in comments

  • Does the access system have a light indicating it is operating?<br><br>If no detail action required in comments

  • Can the operator clearly see the operational light, and is its colour and location such that it cannot be confused with other lights and alarms?<br><br>If no detail action required in comments

  • Photo of boarding ladder operational light location

  • Does the access system operate as per the OEM recommendations?<br><br>If no detail the action required in comments

  • Does the access system operate as per how the machine is normally accessed?<br><br>If no detail the action required in comments

  • Can the access system be defeated or tricked into operating outside of OEM operating procedure?<br><br>If yes detail action required in comments

  • Is the access system used for other operational tasks? Ie high frequency tasks like mirror adjustment, window cleaning ect<br><br>If yes detail the action required in comments

  • Photo of other operational tasks the access system is used for

  • Does the access system operate the same as all assets in the asset fleet type on site? I.e. Grader, dozer, truck<br><br>If no detail action required in comments

  • Is the access system the primary means of access and egress?<br><br>If no detail the action required in comments

  • Photo of the means of access if not the primary means

  • Does the access system have the capacity to be independently isolated ? (I.e.isolation of electric motor for independently powered systems and hydraulic isolation for integrated systems)<br><br>If no detail action required in comments

  • Photo of access system isolation if required

  • Does the emergency access system present access and egress hazards?<br><br>If yes conduct OMAT style risk assessment and detail action in comments
