NBTA Bulk Tanker Day 2016 The Year in Review: NSW EPA perspective
DG TANKER FOCUS AREAS 2015-16 Hazmat incident investigation and follow up Joint roadside compliance campaigns Work with other NSW regulators, with Vic and national advocacy via CAP and NTC Older DG tanker vehicle safety project Review of prohibited routes Determinations on stability control (update)
HAZMAT Incident Investigation/Follow Up All HAZMAT incidents involving road transport of dangerous goods are investigated Matters that led to the incident reviewed Regulatory action is taken for breaches Lessons for improving incident response procedures
Joint roadside compliance Joint operations with RMS and Police Training of Highway Patrol especially the Joint Traffic Task Force undertake many DG compliance inspections, issue penalty notices where appropriate with technical advice from EPA EPA investigates where breaches appear to relate to industry sector or group Cross-border, inc with SafeWork Victoria NSW EPA follows up to ensure compliance improvements
Maintaining Safety in (Older) Tankers Project Continued identification of significant safety related breaches on DG Tanker vehicles RMS continue roadworthiness inspections of tankers EPA focus is on safety critical compliance in relation to the tanker itself (product containment etc) Every compliance operation has identified condition non-compliances in DG Tankers
Moving to mandated periodic assessment Every tanker should undergo a comprehensive compliance, condition and safety assessment every 5 years Assessment undertaken by a recognised expert in accordance with Code, AS2809 and referred to standards A pilot project to trial tanker assessments is due to commence in coming months CAP support, working with WorkSafe Vic
Review of Prohibited Routes Legislation Providing more clarity as to what vehicles can t use prohibited routes (Tunnels), with RMS Proposing that the breaches mirror those that apply to over height vehicles Improved signage and publicity to transport industry
Stability control determinations Stability control required on new dangerous goods tank trailers used in NSW manufactured from July 2014 Roll-over stability control for all dangerous goods tank trailers from 1st January 2019 All tank trailers GVM greater than 4.5 tonnes inc. semi-trailers, B-Double trailers and dog trailers
