At RS23, we’re committed to advancing mining safety and reducing the risks associated with fluid power systems through industry-leading standards and assessments. Our guideline, RS23, developed with
Resources Safety and Health Queensland (RSHQ) and supported by the Coal Mining Safety and Health Act 1999, is a vital resource in achieving safer mining environments. RS23 is built upon the NSW Resources Regulator’s Mining Design Guideline MDG41, which has shaped our understanding and application of fluid power safety. Fluid assessment is one of the essential services we offer to ensure compliance and safety in mining operations, ultimately protecting workers and reducing downtime.
Why Fluid Assessment is Essential for Mining Safety
Uncontrolled fluid releases are a significant hazard in mining, often leading to severe injuries and even fatalities. Our process is designed to identify potential risk factors and prevent incidents before they occur. By evaluating the condition and performance of fluid power systems, we ensure that mining equipment meets the RS23 standard requirements, safeguarding operators and workers alike.
Our process also aligns with legal and regulatory requirements, which means mining companies can operate with confidence, knowing that they are upholding industry safety standards. This proactive approach to fluid power safety is not just about compliance; it’s about fostering a culture of safety that puts the wellbeing of workers at the forefront.
How Our Assessment Works
Our expert team conducts a thorough assessment, which includes a full risk evaluation and a preventative maintenance plan tailored to your site’s specific needs. By identifying wear, potential leakage points, and any signs of system fatigue, we can mitigate the risks of fluid-related incidents. This assessment goes beyond a standard check-up, incorporating best practices from the RS23 standard and MDG41 guidelines to ensure a comprehensive review of all fluid power systems.
This assessment is not just about identifying current issues; it’s also about preventing future incidents. Through detailed analysis and practical recommendations, we can help your team reduce downtime, avoid costly repairs, and create a safer working environment.
