16.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY

16.1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 16.1.1 Values Values to be enhanced or protected for the MEP are:

• the health and safety of the community; and, • the health and safety of employees, contractors and visitors at the MEP.

16.1.2 Issues MEP’s health and safety issues include:

• having appropriate systems and procedures in place to comply with all relevant legislation and ensure the health and safety of the community, employees, contractors and visitors;

• identifying potential risks to health and safety; • implementing appropriate and effective systems to manage identified risks;

and, • training of personnel to understand their responsibilities regarding their own

and others health and safety.

16.1.3 Mitigation Strategies Strategies to mitigate and manage MEP’s health and safety issues and impacts include:

• developing, implementing and communicating systems to manage and protect the health and safety of employees, contractors, visitors and the nearby community;

• maintain a community complaints register and investigate verified complaints;

• ensure employees and contractors working on site are aware of site specific risks and standard operating procedures;

• ensure employees and contractors working on site are aware of managing their own, and others, health and safety;

• ensure employees and contractors working on site have the appropriate competencies to operate any equipment or machinery that they are authorised to use;

• ensure any people on-site are provided with the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and work procedures;

• ensure all chemicals are stored and handled according to the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), Australian Standards and any applicable legislation;

• ensure the risks associated with process liquids, gases and solids are identified, communicated and appropriately managed;

• recording, investigating and reporting incidents; • ensure that Principal Hazard Management Plans are developed and

maintained; • maintain a separate permitting system for unusual or identified high risk

processes;


16-2

• maintain and communicate appropriate emergency procedures; • putting in place strategies to mitigate the cause of incidents; and • monitoring and recording relevant lead and lag health and safety

indicators.

16.2 OVERVIEW This section describes the existing values for health and safety associated with the operation and decommissioning of the MEP. The necessary mitigation strategies to minimise risk to the health and safety of MEP employees, contractors, visitors and the community are outlined and assessed where appropriate.

16.2.1 Health and Safety Management Plan A Health and Safety Management Plan (HSMP) has been developed to manage the occupational health and safety risks associated with the activities at the Millennium Mine and this plan will apply at the MEP, with specific areas modified and implemented where required. The HSMP is based on a risk management approach and meets the requirements of the Coal Mining Safety and Health Act 1999 (CMSH Act), the Coal Mining Safety and Health Regulation 2001 (CMSH Regs) and is aligned to Australian Standard AS/NZS4801:2001, Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management systems–specification for guidance for use (AS/NZS4801:2001). The HSMP has been established to ensure all activities that have an impact on occupational health and safety are carried out in a manner that complies, as a minimum, with:

• all relevant legislation; • relevant advisory standards and codes of practice; and • Peabody standards.

The objectives of the HSMP are to:

• to comply with relevant Health and Safety legislation; • provide information relating to the management of risk; • to prevent unauthorised acts that have the potential to impact on the

health and safety of any person as a result of the MEP; • provide detailed management plans for controlling the health and safety

aspects of mining activities; and • provide a framework for monitoring, reporting and continually improving

safety performance.

Peabody is committed to the health and safety of all mine personnel, contractors and visitors to the site and will utilise the existing HSMP along with specific site processes and procedures, for the ongoing operation and eventual decommissioning of the MEP.

With the goal of ‘Zero Harm’ the MEP will be supported by a zero tolerance policy, meaning a first and final warning for serious breaches of procedure. The ‘Peabody Cardinal Rules’ will also be implemented by the Millennium Mine management team and will be focussed on compliance with:

• site entry/access and induction; • unacceptable behaviour; • risk assessments;


16-3

• isolation, lock, tag out and permits to work; • fitness for work; • incident/hazard reporting; • communications; • work at heights; • traffic management, and • personal protective equipment.

The success of the HSMP depends on stringent management and enforcement of the system, including the reporting and resolution of incidents, and the monitoring and reporting of relevant health and safety proactive (lead) and reactive (lagging) indicators.

The lead indicators that are proposed to be measured and managed include:

• number of hazard reports and actions in response; • safety observations and safety contacts; • number of safety meetings and actions/initiatives resulting; • scheduled inspections completed; • environmental controls-monitoring and tracking wastes; and • audits, reviews and findings.

The following lag indicators are also proposed to be measured and managed:

• total recordable injury; • lost time injury; • restricted duties injury; • medical treatment injury; • first aid cases; • equipment damage; and • environmental incidents and releases.

16.2.2 Legislation Table 16-1 identifies the relevant legislation and the regulatory requirements that will apply to the MEP and describes how the MEP will achieve compliance.

Relevant Legislation Legislative Requirements Compliance

Dangerous Goods Safety Management Act, 2001

Although coal mines are exempt from this Act, hazardous substances brought onto the site will need to be managed in compliance with it

Standards for the transport and storage of hazardous substances and the systems to be adopted on-site will be based on this Act and will also need to interact with the relevant regulation under the Coal Mining Safety and Health Act, 1999 and Regulations

The MEP will comply with all relevant Australian Standards and implement management systems as defined under these Standards.

The process implemented to achieve compliance with the above legislation is discussed in the following sections.

16.2.3 Existing Community Values This section addresses the existing community values for health and safety that may be adversely affected by the MEP. As illustrated in Figure 16-1, the nearest sensitive receptors to the MEP site are predominantly pastoral homesteads, although the State-controlled Peak Downs Highway also qualifies as a listed sensitive area.

There are no listed sensitive areas or resources such as State forests, water reserves, schools, hospitals, aged care facilities, places of residence, work and recreation, or kindergartens nearby to the mining and processing areas.

Appropriate mitigation measures are provided to ensure any safety and health issues or risks associated with the MEP are prevented and/or minimised, where appropriate. These measures are detailed in the following sections.

There are no identified or planned discharges from the MEP which could impact on public health or safety values in the short-term or long-term.

16.3 HEALTH RISKS AND CONTROLS A summary of the potential health risks to the identified nearby sensitive receptors and employees, contractors and visitors is outlined in Table 16-2 and discussed further in the subsections below.


16-6

Table 16-2 Summary of Risks to MEP Personnel and Nearby Sensitive Receptors

Potential Health Impact Risk Comment

Food Hygiene Low On-site catering (rarely utilised) will be by appropriately licenced and qualified providers, but generally food will be prepared and brought onto site by individuals for their own consumption.

Odour Low There are no major odour sources.

Particulates and gases/vapours

Low There are no major gas/vapour sources. Air quality modelling indicates particulate matter levels at nearby sensitive receptors will be within accepted air quality criteria.

Heat Low Measures such as appropriate clothing and regular rehydration breaks will mitigate against heat stress and exhaustion.

Noise and Vibration

Low Noise will not exceed occupational health and safety levels outside of the MEP. Within the MEP, appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will be utilised where required.

Chemicals Low to Moderate

Chemicals used in MEP operations are manageable through established methods on-site. A low to moderate risk to public health is associated with the transport of chemicals to and from site.

Disease Low Water monitoring and water re-circulation between dams will help prevent blue-green algae blooms. Disease bearing vectors such as vermin and mosquitos will be controlled using practicable methods eg pest control practices (as detailed below) and application of insect repellent if necessary.

Potable Water Supply

Low Potable water is trucked into the site by a licenced operator. Appropriately scheduled water testing is also undertaken.

Use of process water

Low A water management system containing all mine affected water is implemented and there is regular monitoring of water quality.

Pest Management Low No increase in pests due to MEP operations is anticipated. The water management system has been designed to provide the most efficient storage, transfer and reuse of mine water. With the current water management system and regular water monitoring, it is not expected that there will be any issues regarding the transmission of bacteria, or insect breeding e.g. mosquitoes and biting midges.

Wildlife Low Given the amount of traffic using the haul/access road and activity at the mine site, it is unlikely that wildlife will utilise the active work areas.

Waste Low Wastes from MEP operations are manageable through established methods.

Groundwater Quality

Low There is limited groundwater resource or use of groundwater by surrounding landholders. There is a low potential for acid mine drainage. Groundwater flows will be towards the mine during and after operation. Water storage infrastructure and hazardous substance bunding will ensure a very low possibility of chemical and waste spills infiltrating to groundwater.

Surface Water Quality

Low There is low potential for acid mine drainage. The proposed mine water management system ensures minimal discharges and only during high flow conditions. Water storage infrastructure and hazardous substance bunding will ensure a very low likelihood of chemical or wastewater spills to waterways.

Traffic Accidents Low The MEP will increase traffic by less than two per cent. Majority of traffic exists on Peak Downs Highway and is an accepted risk.

Train Load-Out Facility

Low Only authorised personnel are allowed in and around the restricted control room and train load-out area

16.3.1 Food Hygiene Areas involved with the provision and supply of food, such as meal rooms, will be operated in compliance with current food and hygiene legislation.

16.3.2 Odour The MEP is not expected to produce any odour that may be detrimental to the health and safety of employees, visitors or the general public. The risk of odour impacts during the MEP operations is considered to be low.

16.3.3 Particulates and Vapours The MEP will implement particulate and vapour exposure standards and procedures according to the existing HSMP that will apply to dust, fibres, mist and fume (i.e. particulates), and gas and vapour exposure in the workplace. The standards and procedures will cover, amongst other things, evaluation of particulate and gas/vapour hazards and development of a control program to ensure that employees and contractors do not suffer adverse health effects in the work environment from particulates or gas/vapours, either used or generated by the MEP. Where required, the dust control program will include engineering controls such as air conditioning filters, dust suppression systems, fume extraction systems on conveyors and at coal transfer points in the CHPP, and the use of respiratory PPE as required. Dust from heavy mobile equipment will be controlled by watering.

Modelling indicates the human health risks associated with air emissions within the MEP or at nearby sensitive receptors are well within acceptable levels. The potential impacts and mitigation measures for air quality are further addressed in Chapter 11-Air.

16.3.4 Heat Stress The effects of heat will be managed by provision of suitable working environments, equipment and protective clothing. Mine personnel will be made aware of the signs and symptoms of heat stress and the effects thereof, including dehydration and the need to constantly rehydrate when working.

16.3.5 Noise and Vibration All equipment (both fixed and mobile) will comply with the CMSH Act in regard to design and operating noise levels. It is the duty of the supplier to ensure equipment complies with safe levels of vibration and they must provide documented proof of compliance.

The existing Millennium Mine HSMP for hearing conservation will apply to the MEP. The MEP will implement hearing conservation standards and procedures to ensure that employees, contractors or visitors will not suffer adverse health effects from noise generated in the workplace. These standards and procedures will cover, amongst other things, the identification and evaluation of occupational noise hazards and development of noise monitoring control programs to minimise noise levels and protect employees, contractors and visitors from adverse exposure. Where required, the use of suitable hearing protection devices shall be provided and shall be worn by all personnel while in the hearing protection area.

The ambient noise environment is typical of a relatively remote and undisturbed area, with the nearest homestead approximately eight kilometres away from the MEP administration area. A noise survey concluded that the noise levels do not exceed the noise limits for ‘beneficial assets’ contained in the


16-9

Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy at any of the closest residences. As such, environmental noise level monitoring and inspections shall be arranged by Peabody in response to verified noise complaints from any existing nearby sensitive receptor.

The potential impacts and mitigation measures for noise are further addressed in Chapter 12-Noise and Vibration.

16.3.6 Exposure to Chemicals As detailed in Chapter 9-Waste, fuel, detergents, lubricants, oils, solvents, degreasers and domestic cleaning agents will form the majority of chemicals required at the MEP site.

All chemicals will be managed in accordance with the hazardous material management system developed for the mine, incorporating the provision and use of the respective Safety Data Sheets (SDS). SDS shall be kept in a register, with copies readily available to operators. Training will also be provided in standard site inductions and more specific chemical awareness training programs were appropriate.

Fuelling of MEP mobile equipment will use existing hydrocarbon storage and handling procedures at the Millennium Mine, that are in accordance with AS 1940:2004, The Storage and Handling of Flammable and Combustible Liquids (AS1940). Bulk storage areas are appropriately located, bunded and grouped to prevent static electricity build-up causing an ignition spark, as well as minimising the risk of chemical spills and potential environmental harm. Inspections of all storage facilities shall be included in the HSMP premises inspection.

The Millennium Mine Plan of Operations details that a hydrocarbon field storage comprising three x 55,000 L diesel tanks is located on ML 70312. The tanks are self-bunded (twin-walled) and also enclosed by a secondary emergency bund. Diesel, MIBC and flocculent chemicals are stored in appropriately bunded tanks at the CHPP.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) at the Millennium Mine will continue to be used to address the refilling of fuel storage tanks and mine vehicles, maintenance and spill response.

The residual health risk presented by these chemicals at the MEP is low.

16.3.7 Disease Vectors Water management strategies and the efficient use and recycling of raw mine water will be an integral part of the MEP operations. The current water management system at the Millennium Mine includes a water quality monitoring program.

The aim of the strategy will be to maximise water re-circulation between dams and drains, minimising the transmission of bacteria or insect breeding e.g. mosquitoes and biting midges. No mosquito vectors of a disease requiring quarantine or exotic mosquitoes have been identified to date in Central Queensland.

The risk of disease as a result of the MEP is considered to be low.


16-10

16.3.8 Potable Water Supply Potable water will be imported using a licenced operator. Water quality will be tested prior to delivery to mine employees leaving the risk of health related impacts as low.

16.3.9 Use of Process Water Process water, recycled through the CHPP, will be used for the watering of haul roads and washing down of vehicles and heavy mine equipment. The water management system includes mine affected water and regular water quality monitoring ensures potential impacts are understood.

16.3.10 Pest Management Management practices are current at the existing mine to address the spread of noxious weeds on-site. This procedure will also be utilised for the MEP. It is expected that all vehicles arriving on-site will be clean and free of contaminants.

If other declared pest species (either flora or fauna) pose a significant problem to the mine operations, appropriate eradication and management measures will be taken.

The number of pests is not expected to increase as a result of the MEP.

16.3.11 Wildlife Hazards Due to the amount of traffic using the haul and access roads, and the extent of activity at the mine infrastructure areas in both the existing mine and the MEP, it is unlikely that wildlife will actively utilise active work areas.

Mine personnel are made aware of the risk of snakes during site inductions and are provided with appropriate training for treatment of snake bites.

The potential risk from wildlife hazards such as snake bites is assessed as low.

16.3.12 Waste Waste will be generated during all phases of the MEP. The Principal Contractor will be required to implement a waste management system based on the waste hierarchy. Waste will be managed to avoid adverse impacts on the health of mine personnel and minimise risk of impact on the environment. Potential waste impacts and management procedures have been considered in detail in Chapter 9-Waste.

16.3.13 Groundwater Quality The potential for impacts to groundwater quality is assessed in Chapter 10-Water Resources. Groundwater monitoring to date has shown no specific detriment to the groundwater quality values as a result of the current Millennium Mine. This program will be updated to monitor the potential impacts from additional mining for the MEP.

The risk posed to groundwater quality relating to health and safety issues is low, as there is limited potential for acid mine drainage (refer to Chapter 7-Land) and the potential for spills of chemicals and wastes to infiltrate into groundwater will be minimised as outlined in Chapter 9-Waste.


16-11

16.3.14 Surface Water Quality The potential for impacts to surface water quality is assessed in detail in Chapter 10-Water Resources. The risk posed to surface water quality criteria relating to health and safety is low, as there is limited potential for acid mine drainage and a low likelihood for chemical spills or waste water to discharge into waterways. Implementation of a water management strategy, including the construction of sedimentation dams and management infrastructure will minimise any impacts on receiving water courses.

Clean surface water runoff is diverted away from all active work areas to maintain its water quality values. The premise of the water management system is to separate runoff and contain mine affected water and maximize their effective recycling.

Sewage generated at Millennium Mine is collected in storage tanks that are periodically pumped out by a regulated waste contractor. No sewage effluent will be discharged to waterways.

16.3.15 Traffic Accidents The MEP will use the existing Millennium/Poitrel access road from the Peak Downs Highway as the major access road to the mine. The MEP will result in less than 1.5% increase in traffic along the Peak Downs Highway, with no reduction in the level of service along the highway or other roads in the area, as presented in Chapter 8-Transport. Given the minimal traffic increase and no new or significantly increased hazards relating to transport to the MEP, the risk of increased traffic accidents is assessed as low.

16.3.16 Train Load-Out Facility The existing train load-out facilities utilise an automatic process that is managed from a control room. This area is restricted and only authorised and trained personnel are allowed in and around the control room and train load-out area. Accordingly, any hazard to personnel associated with this facility is considered low.

16.4 SAFETY RISKS AND CONTROLS 16.4.1 Site Inductions Any member of the public, employees, contractors and subcontractors that enter the MEP must complete a site induction. The induction covers both environmental and health and safety aspects and rules that must be adhered to on-site. Inductions differ and are dependent on the activities being conducted on-site by the staff member, contractor or visitor. All visitors, contractors and subcontractors are required to sign in and out at the site office. Alternative sign in/out procedures are initiated for remote workers.

The current Millennium Mine induction which will also be implemented at the MEP contains the following:

• Safety and Health Policy; • Environmental Management; • Cultural Heritage Awareness; • Operating Philosophy; • Safety Requirements:


16-12

o fitness for work; o risk assessment and hazard identification; o incident/hazard reporting and investigation; o site induction; o power tools and ancillary equipment; o site driver’s licence; o traffic rules; o housekeeping; o pre-start meetings/toolbox talks; o communications; o motor vehicles including mobile equipment; o pre-start inspections; o working at heights; o authorisation to operate equipment; o electrical equipment; o modification of plant and equipment; o permit to work; o isolation systems; o lifting equipment; o personal protective equipment; and o emergency procedures.

16.4.2 Fitness for Work Standards The site Fitness for Work standard and associated procedures address the risk posed by fatigue and the abuse of alcohol and other drugs to the safety and work performance of Peabody employees, site contractors and visitors. These requirements apply to Peabody employees and contractors on company time and aim to reduce the risk of fatigue and drug impairment while at work through an ongoing process of consultation and education reinforced by disciplinary action, where necessary. This process is in line with Peabody operations in Australia and the company’s move towards a uniform policy that reflects the standards outlined in the Fitness for Work-Corporate Offices document as shown in Chapter 16-Annexure A.

Ultimately, it is the responsibility of all individuals to ensure their own safety and health at work and to avoid adversely affecting the health and safety of any other person.

16.4.3 Vehicle Management and Road Hazards Equipment proposed to be used on the mine will include haul trucks, front-end loaders, scrapers, rollers and light vehicles. The vehicles will operate on haul roads and existing access roads to the MEP site.

The existing Millennium Mine access road is designed in accordance with the CMSH Act requirements. The road is sealed, appropriately graded and has speed restrictions.

Contractors and mine personnel authorised to operate vehicles on-site will continue to be trained and licenced, so that these vehicles are driven in accordance with specifications and the road rules prescribed for the site. SOPs regarding driver safety and dust control will be implemented. Speed limits


16-13

around the site will be indicated by appropriate signage. Watering of roads and access areas will be undertaken to suppress dust and improve visibility for the driver. Adequate lighting will also be installed on site to ensure operating conditions are safe. Vehicle inspection checks will be undertaken as part of the routine maintenance programme. All vehicles are required to carry two-way radios and ensure positive communication when entering or leaving work spaces.

Hazards associated with roadside drainage lines and other roadside depressions or gullies may contribute to haul trucks tipping over. To mitigate these risks, haul roads will be appropriately designed, graded and watered with berms positioned near all significant drop hazards as required by guidelines issued by the Queensland Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI).

Consistent with current practice, MEP operational employees will continue to be transported by bus between the camp/accommodation and their workplace, thereby reducing the number of light vehicles on the road. This will also reduce the potential impacts associated with driver fatigue at the end of their shift.

The potential risk of injury from driving vehicles on the mine site during construction and operations is considered moderate.

16.4.4 Physical Interaction with Mobile Equipment and Machinery Personnel may be at risk of interacting with moving machinery and parts from vehicles resulting in potentially serious injury. Hazards in this category may occur during the construction of infrastructure, movement of heavy equipment, maintenance programs or repair work.

All vehicles will be regularly maintained and serviced to ensure that they are operating consistently with their design. SOPs to control energised equipment and machinery will be implemented incorporating lock-out safety systems to reduce the likelihood of exposure to sudden releases of all forms of energy to low levels. Induction and training programs to introduce and teach procedural requirements will be continued.

The proposed controls will reduce the likelihood of occurrence, and therefore the risk, to moderate levels.

16.4.5 Fuel Storage and Handling As a coal mine, the MEP is exempt from licensing under the Dangerous Goods Safety Management Act 2001, however is subject to the provisions of the CMSH Act and CMSH Regulations.

Fuel stored on site is predominantly diesel that presents a low risk of uncontrolled combustion taking place and a moderate environmental risk from potential spillage. Fuel tankers will regularly come on site to refill bulk storage tanks. The amount of diesel fuel stored on-site for the MEP will increase due to the throughput increase in the CHPP and the increased numbers of mobile plant on-site.

Fuel storage facilities are located in a number of areas on the Millennium Mine and have been assessed as sufficient to meet the requirements of the MEP. The storage facilities may be relocated to improve efficiencies of refuelling and vehicle movements.


16-14

Other reagents are also used in the coal preparation and blasting processes, these are stored in bulk and in compliance with their chemical requirements. Compliance with AS1940 and leading practice chemical management reduces this risk to a low level.

16.4.6 Power Infrastructure and High Voltage Exposure The principal infrastructure is in place to provide power to the MEP, sufficient to meet demand for the foreseeable future. If additional power lines are required, they will be constructed along existing power line easements by qualified contractors who will employ the appropriate procedures and standards.

16.4.7 Working at Heights and Falling Objects Activities will be planned so that work is performed at ground level and eliminate the requirement to work at heights wherever practical. However, where working at heights is unavoidable, appropriate SOPs and permitting will be used to control this risk.

All persons working at heights will be required to obtain a permit under the existing Millennium Mine permit system. Anybody undertaking work from heights must minimise the possibility of a fall, or falling objects, by using fixed platforms and safety harnesses.

In-pit, if there is a specific risk of rocks falling from the highwall near potential worker locations, the area below must be barricaded and appropriately signed, to prevent access from other personnel in the work area.

In accordance with the existing site HSMP, mandatory PPE which must be worn at all times includes safety glasses, steel cap boots, long-sleeve/high-visibility pants and shirts and hard hats. These PPE provide some protection against objects falling from height.

Despite these planned controls, the residual risk for working at heights and falling objects at the MEP remains relatively high. Safety statistics indicate that injuries caused from falling objects and falls continue to contribute significantly to work related injuries, hence the preventative controls must be strictly enforced.

16.4.8 Mine Blasting Blasting is undertaken infrequently at the Millennium Mine and will occur for the MEP. When blasting is required and particularly depending on the location, it can pose a number of potential risks, most notable being unauthorised entry to the blast site, dust, noise (overpressure) and vibration.

All blasting activities are undertaken under strict mine site operating procedures and must be authorised by the Senior Site Executive. These procedures cover such activities as transport, loading and firing of explosives, and handling of misfires.

A number of mitigation measures are currently in place at Millennium Mine including control of access to the blast area and ensuring blasts are undertaken by suitably qualified personnel with appropriate knowledge and skill.

Transportation of dangerous goods to site will be carried out by a licenced transporter that operates in accordance with the Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail.


16-15

Minor amounts of explosives are stored on-site and are used in accordance to the relevant Queensland legislation and AS2187.2:2006 Explosives Storage and Use–Use of explosives. Relevant staff are trained in the storage and handling of these products.

Explosives are stored on-site in a magazine which is separate and protected from any activities on the mine.

The location of the explosives magazine for use in both the existing Millennium Mine and MEP, is shown in Figure 16-2. The magazine does not pose a risk to the public as it is approximately 16 km to the township of Coppabella and 7.3 km from the nearest residence. There is also a designated exclusion safety zone around the magazine.

16.4.9 Transportation Licenced transporters operating in compliance with the National Transport Commission (Model Legislation-Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road or Rail) Regulations 2007 will undertake the transport of dangerous goods to the site, including the transport of ammonium nitrate. The transport of ammonium nitrate will be undertaken in compliance with the requirements of AS 1678.5.1.002:1998: Emergency Procedure Guide-Transport-Ammonium Nitrate.

Due to the stringent inspection and licencing requirements on transporters of dangerous goods, health and safety risks for the MEP are considered low.

16.4.10 Spontaneous Combustion Spontaneous combustion fires in coal stockpiles usually begin as ‘hot spots’ deep within the pile of coal. The hot spots appear when coal oxidises and heat generated by the oxidation then initiates the fire.

Empirical testing carried out on coal samples has determined that the Leichhardt seam coal has a low to moderate propensity to spontaneously combust. As the mine progresses into the MEP area, additional sampling will be conducted to assess the likelihood of combustion.

Run-of-Mine (ROM) coal is planned to be stockpiled near the CHPP on ML 70312 which is outside the MEP area, however temporary coal stockpiles may occur closer to the pit.

The following control measures are in place to prevent, identify and control spontaneous combustion in coal stockpiles:

• visual inspections carried out during operations; • quick turnover of coal stockpiles wherever possible; and • the training of personnel, when first inducted, in the procedures in case a

stockpile fire occurs. Refresher training is regularly carried out.

The smoke from spontaneous combustion is regarded as a low environmental nuisance risk to adjacent landowners given the large separation distances and relatively low volume of smoke resulting from smouldering coal.

There are adequate trained staff, equipment and materials to suppress and manage any spontaneous combustion events on-site. The additional ROM coal stockpiles required in the MEP will be subject to the same management procedures as the existing stockpiles.

16.4.11 Conveyors Coal conveyors are predominantly used around the CHPP area and have significant risks associated with the moving parts and nip points. As the CHPP is outside the MEP area, the risk from conveyors is assessed as low. Any maintenance of conveyors and working around conveyors that may be required on the MEP will be covered by the existing Millennium Mine SOP’s and is included in induction training where required.

16.4.12 Site Security The MEP site will have visitor checkpoints prior to entry to the infrastructure area. Prior to any access on the MEP, visitors will complete mandatory registration and an environmental, health and safety induction. Random blood alcohol and drug testing will be undertaken in accordance with the site procedure.


16-18

16.4.13 Personal Protective Equipment Mine employees, contractors and visitors are supplied with the relevant and appropriate PPE for the tasks to be conducted on-site. Visitors will be authorised, registered and suitably attired with the following mandatory personal protective equipment (PPE):

• safety helmet; • steel cap boots; • safety glasses; and • high visibility vest.

Additional and specific health and safety PPE may be required to be worn during particular activities and in designated areas as indicated by safety signage. By wearing the appropriate PPE, the residual health and safety risks are expected to be lowered.

16.5 DECOMMISSIONING AND REHABILITATION Peabody has extensive mine closure planning experience and is currently developing a mine closure plan for the Millennium Mine. The closure plan for the MEP will be adapted from the Millennium Mine plan and will address the following:

• stakeholder involvement; • the rehabilitation and stability of disturbed land; • land use limitations; • water management; • infrastructure management (e.g. removal of equipment, demolition of

structures and removal of redundant material from site); • the surrounding and impacted community; and • incorporation of practices to ensure the health and safety of the

community and any person accessing the decommissioned mine site.

The mine closure plan for the MEP will involve decommissioning and rehabilitation of disturbed overburden, mining pits/voids, infrastructure and all regulated dams in a manner that prevents health, safety or environmental harm. Dams will be decommissioned to ensure they no longer contain flowable substances and are stable.

Any dangerous goods or chemicals will be removed from site and any contaminated areas will be managed and rehabilitated to ensure that there is no danger posed to the wider community.

Controls to protect the community will include warning signs, fencing of final voids and safety rills to prevent travel over embankments. The risk to community safety will be low, given the management and mitigation measures that are proposed and also considering that the area will be located on privately owned property.

16.6 CUMULATIVE HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS The majority of health and safety risks for the MEP are contained on the mine site, with very little impact to or from surrounding land users.


16-19

Modelling and assessments undertaken for the MEP indicate it will not significantly increase the demand on health services, and therefore should not negatively impact on these services within the surrounding community. As such, there will be no deterioration in the general level of health care available within the surrounding towns.

Potential cumulative health and safety risks on nearby sensitive receptors and the wider community including from dust, water, noise, vibration, traffic and transport are detailed in the specific sections within this EIS. From these sections the cumulative health and safety risk for the MEP is shown in Table 16-3 below.

Table 16-3 MEP Cumulative Assessment of Health and Safety Risks on the Wider Community

Potential Risk Other Sources MEP’s Contribution Cumulative Result Dust from MEP Surrounding mines

Agricultural activities Trains. Road traffic Natural sources e.g. drought, dust storms

Clearing ahead of mining. Dust from mining operations.

Modelling shows all dust results are within acceptable limits at sensitive receptors

Water quality impacted

Surrounding mines. Agricultural activities Other infrastructure e.g. roads, towns and sewage plants Natural sources e.g. turbidity from flood

Discharges will be minor and only during high flow periods. Recycled water use. Stormwater management. Compliance with DERM conditions may result in reduced flow in creeks. Drainage off rehabilitation areas.

Water quality impacts from the MEP will be negligible given the containment of mine impacted water. Compliance with DERM conditions may result in reduced water flow in creek systems.

Noise impacts to nearby sensitive receptors

Surrounding mines Agricultural activities Other infrastructure e.g. roads Natural sources e.g. birds, wind

Operation of mining equipment. Blasting.

Modelling indicates noise at nearby sensitive receptors will be within acceptable limits

Vibration impacts to nearby sensitive receptors

Surrounding mines Agricultural activities Trains Traffic

Operation of mining equipment. Blasting.

Modelling indicates that vibration impacts from mine blasts will be within acceptable limits.

Traffic/transport accidents and incidents

All other road users Transport of workers from Mackay to Coppabella, and then from Coppabella to the site. Employees driving from surrounding area to the site.

Traffic will increase by less than five per cent for all roads, and by less than one and a half per cent for the Peak Downs Highway. No significant increase in transport accidents or incidents are predicted.


16-20

The cumulative impacts of the MEP, in conjunction with other mining operations in the region, on the health and safety of the community are expected to be well within acceptable limits as a result of the management and mitigation measures proposed.

Overall, the health and safety impacts to the community can be classified as minor at a local level and negligible to non-detectable on a regional, state or national level.

ANNEXURE A–PEABODY CORPORATE FITNESS FOR WORK STANDARD

Fitness for Work – Corporate Offices

Disclaimer: This document becomes uncontrolled once printed

Title Owner Date Issued Revision Status Date Reviewed Next Review Page

PP-S&H-OPSTD-011.1 Fitness for Work Safety Manager Corporate 26.11.2006 Rev 1 26.11.2006 26.11.2009 1 of 15

1.0 Purpose

The purpose of this procedure is to detail the guidelines and actions required to support the Company‟s Fitness for Work Standard.

The objective of introducing Fitness for Work standard and the associated procedures is to address the risk posed by the abuse of alcohol and other drugs to the safety and work performance of Peabody Pacific employees. It is not concerned with the regulation of an individual‟s private behaviour.

It is a Peabody Pacific‟s objective to have all our operations free of alcohol and drug abuse. It is the Company's intention that this will be achieved through a process of consultation and education reinforced by disciplinary action where required.

2.0 Scope

This procedure applies to the Peabody Pacific corporate offices and Peabody employees and contractors working within those offices.

An individual‟s fitness for work may be affected for a variety of reasons including the adverse effects of fatigue, stress, emotional problems, illness, injury, alcohol or other drugs.

Other Peabody operations in Australia currently have individual site policies which have been agreed to by the site workforce. It is Peabody‟s intention to move towards a uniform policy that reflects the standards herein as soon as is practicable.

3.0 Definitions & Acronyms

Shall Indicates that a statement is mandatory.

Should Indicates a recommendation

BAC Blood Alcohol Content

4.0 Standard Requirements

4.1 Impairment due to fatigue

Fatigue at Work can be hazardous and employers and employees have a responsibility to ensure it is not overlooked in the carrying out of work during rostered hours and in considering whether an employee should work additional hours or shifts.

Extension of Working Hours:





Any person can work up to 14 hours from the normal shift time start without any authorization needed as long as they have taken a meal break.

No person will work past 14 hours without supervisor approval.

In any event supervisors are not permitted to extend work hours beyond a 16 hour period from the commencement of a shift.

Employees shall not exceed 16 hours of work including travel time to and from site. An employee working 16 hours will be provided with transport home.

Employees will be required to be away from work/off site for 10 hours prior to returning to work.

Employees who travel to various sites shall ensure that travel arrangements are organised such that there will be no excessive driving after either an early morning or late evening plane flight. For example, travelling to the Bowen Basin may require an early morning flight from Brisbane and a further 2 to 3 hours car travel to get to the site. This will necessitate an overnight stay at the site with travel back to Brisbane the following morning.

Where a supervisor suspects an employee to be impaired by fatigue then the Fatigue Impairment: Supervisor‟s Checklist and Guidance Notes in appendix 1 shall be used to assess the level of fatigue.

4.2 Impairment Due to Medical Causes

Individuals will be required to undergo medical assessment where there are reasonable grounds to believe that their fitness for work may be affected by physical or mental illness, injury, stress, fatigue or any other condition. Such individuals will not be permitted to return to work until they have been appropriately assessed and cleared for return to work under procedures acceptable to the company's medical provider.

A medical clearance is also required in the following circumstances

Return to work after an absence on sick leave of more than 5 days.

Return to work after hospitalisation.

4.3 Impairment Due to Alcohol or Drugs

4.3.1 Definition of Abuse

For the purposes of the standard, the abuse of alcohol and/or other drugs includes:

The use of alcohol which results in potential impairment of an employee‟s performance or their ability to work efficiently and safely.

The use of illegal drugs such as marijuana, amphetamines, cocaine, opiates and other narcotics which results in potential impairment of an employee‟s performance or their ability to work efficiently and safely.

The use of prescription drugs (e.g. benzodiazepines, barbiturates or methadone) and the use of any other prescription or non-prescription drugs or other substances which result in





potential impairment of an employee‟s performance or their ability to work efficiently and safely.

The sale or supply of either illegal or prescription drugs.

The unauthorised consumption or possession of any alcohol or the consumption or possession of any illicit drugs on the work site or during the working period.

An employee whose results from a drug and alcohol screening exceed the limits established by the Australian Standard as amended from time to time where there is no medical explanation shall be deemed to have tested positive under this policy.

Representative Sample of Substances Tested for and Limits set as per the Australian Standard. (AS/NZS 4308:2001 Procedures for the collection, detection and quantitation of drugs of abuse in urine and AS 4760:2006 Procedures for specimen collection and the detection and quantitation of drugs in oral fluid)

Alcohol 0.000% (Blood Alcohol Concentration)

4.4 Types of Screening

Screening will be arranged by the General Manager Human Resources or Safety Manager - Corporate.

4.4.1 Pre-Employment Screening

Pre-employment substance abuse screens may be conducted as part of the pre-employment medical process. This will be arranged by the Human Resources Department with an independent, accredited testing group. The decision to employ will be based on ability to perform the job.

Substance Testing - Any applicant found to be positive (i.e. in excess of the prescribed limit as per the Australian Standard) on their pre-employment screen may be considered unsuitable for employment.

Agreement - All employees are required to sign a substance abuse screening agreement as part of their employment contract.





Confidentiality - Test results are strictly confidential and all information is held in a confidential file. Access to this information is restricted to Human Resources staff only and the individual concerned. This information will not be used outside the Company.

Refusal by an individual to submit to, or co-operate fully with the administration of an alcohol or drug screen, may result in his or her application for employment at Peabody Pacific not being further considered. Any attempt to avoid or falsify any alcohol and/or drug test may result in rejection of the employment application. Falsification which is undetected at the time of employment, but later detected, may lead to termination of employment.

4.4.2 Regular Random Testing

Substance Screening may be conducted on a regular basis. The timing of the tests and selection of staff to be tested is randomly determined by the General Manager - Human Resources or the Safety Manager - Corporate.

4.4.3 “For Cause” Screening

Peabody Pacific may require additional screening under one or more of the following circumstances:

Where an employee‟s erratic, unusual or dangerous behaviour raises concerns that they may be under the influence of alcohol or any other substance.

Upon receipt of information from any other person in the work place who has reasonable grounds to believe that an individual may be affected by alcohol or other drugs.

Evidence is found of possible alcohol or other drug use at work (e.g. drug paraphernalia, alcohol containers on worksites or in vehicles) and Peabody Pacific can identify with reasonable certainty any individual or individuals who may be involved.

Regular monitoring of employees who have previously tested positive to ensure that substance abuse has been eliminated.

If the person is involved in a work related accident or near miss which is potentially serious whether or not it results in any injury or damage, drug and alcohol screening will be mandatory. This will occur as soon as practicable after the event.

4.4.4 Voluntary Screening

Employees who feel they may be affected by substance abuse are encouraged to voluntarily submit to a test prior to commencing work. Failure of a voluntary test will not result in disciplinary procedures under this policy. The individual will voluntarily stand down and only return when a negative result is obtained. Annual leave but not personal leave may be accessed.

4.4.5 Alcohol Testing Procedure

The breath test unit used will be of an equivalent standard to that used by the Police and will be used and maintained according to the standards established by the manufacturer. To assist





supervision in making a decision as to whether or not an employee is affected by alcohol, a breath alcohol reading of 0.000% or greater will be regarded as a positive test.

A breath test will be provided readily to any person requesting one as an aid to educating individuals on the specific effects of alcohol on them.

4.4.6 Drug Testing Procedure

The tests shall be conducted by appropriately trained external and internal personnel.

The employee will have the option of going to an external drug screen provider or to undertake an screening test using a saliva drug screen test kit, at the workplace

The employee will be asked to declare any medications taken that might produce a positive result. The tester will follow the instructions supplied for the urine and saliva screen testing unit.

Where a positive result is found for urine:

The employee may dispute the reading and be retested. Urine specimens for drug screening will be taken under supervision by appropriate external personnel and the strict chain of custody procedures will be observed. A consent form must be signed by the employee prior to the sample being taken; or

The employee may waive the option to dispute the positive test, this will be considered a failure.

Results of any further tests will be conveyed by the laboratory specified to the General Manager -Human Resources or Safety Manager - Corporate. These results will remain confidential. Employees may request a copy of their own results.

Where the employee believes that there is medical explanation for a positive test, then they may request review by an agreed occupational physician for evaluation of the results.

Where a positive result is found for Saliva:

If the tester suspects that other illegal substances may have been taken. Then the employee must undertake a urine test by an external provider.

The processes for a positive result found in urine as stipulated above will apply.

4.5 Management of breaches of Company Fitness for Work Policy

and Procedures

4.5.1 Positive Drug or Alcohol Test

Any employee who tests positive to an alcohol breath screen or drug screen (not consistent with the declared medications) will be stood down from their work and will not be permitted to resume work until such time as they have undergone appropriate counselling and complied with the procedures for “first occasion” or “second occasion” positive results.

4.5.1.1 First Occasion

The employee will be immediately suspended from duty without pay. Annual or sick leave will not be made available.





The employee will not be permitted to return to work until they have been tested again and proved negative for all proscribed substances.

The employee will be counselled by their supervisor on:

the unacceptability of the employee‟s behaviour and the risk that such behaviour creates for the safety of the individual and other employees;

the employee‟s responsibility to demonstrate that the problem is being effectively addressed; and

that any future breach of the policy will result in the employee‟s dismissal.

The employee will be notified that they will be monitored for twelve (12) months and that during this time, periodic testing may occur.

The employee will be formally offered the opportunity to contact a professional counsellor. The decision to undertake counselling or other treatment for alcohol or other drug problems is the responsibility of the employee and cannot be made mandatory. However Peabody Pacific will insist that the employee provide satisfactory evidence that the threat to work performance and/or safety has been addressed before they are permitted to return to work. Peabody Pacific will pay for up to two sessions with the professional counsellor.

The employee will receive a formal written warning which shall reflect the key points covered in this process including a warning to the effect that any re-occurrence will result in the employee‟s dismissal. The employee will be given a copy and the original should be forwarded to the General Manager Human Resources.

When an employee has achieved an abuse free period of not less than twelve (12) months, the relevant records will be removed from the file and destroyed. The employee will then be treated as if they had not previously recorded a positive test.

4.5.1.2 Second Occasion

Formal disciplinary procedures will be invoked to ascertain if any mitigating circumstances exist and to allow the employee to state their case.

Unless there are convincing arguments to the contrary, the employee will be dismissed without notice. The termination notice will be endorsed, “Non-compliance with Safety policy” and forwarded to the Human Resources Department.

Employees terminated under the drug and alcohol policy may be re-considered for employment with Peabody Pacific after a period of six months has elapsed. Special conditions may be applied to re-employment as determined by the General Manager, Human Resources.

4.6 Other Breaches of the Company Fitness for Work Policy and

Procedures

4.6.1 Non- Compliance with Screening Procedures

Refusal by an employee to submit to or co-operate fully with the administration of an alcohol or other drug screen, will result in disciplinary action including the possible termination of employment with Peabody Pacific. Any attempt to avoid or falsify any alcohol and/or drug screen will result in the termination of the individual‟s employment.





4.6.2 Sale and Supply of Drugs

The sale or supply of illegal or prescription drugs at the work place by an employee will result in termination of their employment.

4.6.3 Consumption or Possession of Alcohol or Illicit Drugs

Consumption or possession of any illicit drugs whilst at work or during the working period will result in termination of employment.

Unauthorised consumption of alcohol in the corporate office will result in disciplinary action.

4.6.4 Extended Work Hours

Employees and supervisors are responsible for adhering to the work hours guidelines. Extensions of work hours beyond these guidelines may result in disciplinary action of both the employee and the supervisor.

4.6.5 Education Programs

Peabody Pacific will provide education programs for its employees to assist in raising the awareness of hazards impacting on fitness for work including the use / abuse of drugs and alcohol and will assist its employees in recognizing and dealing with hazards that impact on employee‟s fitness for work.

4.7 Employee Assistance Program

Peabody Pacific provides an Employee Assistance Program to provide external professional counselling and support for employees with personal or work related difficulties. An employee's use of this service and the subject matter of any counselling, remain confidential and will not be disclosed to any person without the employee's permission.

Peabody Pacific will support all employees wishing to use the services of the assistance Program for up to two counselling sessions. Any further counselling or treatment will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Such determination will be made by the appropriate manager with the approval of the General Manager Human Resources.

5.0 Records Management

If an employee fails an alcohol and drug screening test, the results of such a failed test will not be recorded in their personnel file. Access to the detailed information report is restricted to the Safety Manager Corporate and General Manager Human Resources and the report will not be made available to anyone without permission of the employee concerned.

9.1.1 Guidance NOTES for Supervisors’ Guidelines

The Fatigue Impairment: Supervisors‟ Guidelines are designed as a framework for a step-by-step process for making decisions about fatigue impairment and the most appropriate supervisory response. The guidelines should not be seen as a definitive measure, but rather as a guide to conversation.

STEP 1

The first step is to formalise what you have noticed about the person‟s functioning or behaviour. While most of us have an intuitive sense for when a person is tired, this simple checklist asks us to take specific notice of some of the known symptoms of fatigue. It is worthwhile going through the checklist and checking the appropriate boxes.

If the person exhibits three or more of the typical symptoms of fatigue, or very marked symptoms in any one or two areas, proceed to Step 2.

STEP 2

The second step is to estimate the degree of risk associated with what you have observed. Risk depends on the likelihood and severity of the consequences of the person‟s functioning/behaviour. There will be many factors that will influence your estimate of risk for this person in his/her situation.

Having gained a sense of the level of risk involved, you must ask the question, “Is this an acceptable level of risk?”

If you conclude that the risk is beyond an acceptable level, proceed to Step 3.

STEP 3

The third step is to engage the individual in conversation about his/her symptoms. It is important for you to clearly state what you have observed and your estimate of the risk involved, and the reasons for your estimate of the risk involved. Has the person an explanation for what you have observed? An explanation does not discount what you have observed, but may put it in another context, or offer a reason for why they are not functioning normally. For example, the person may not have eaten for 8 hours, have low blood sugar levels and be exhibiting symptoms of fatigue.

The explanation may offer some answers to the next set of questions. Remember the purpose of asking these questions is to encourage the individual to take responsibility for their functioning and to think about the reasons behind their fatigue-related risk. Potential reasons for fatigue related risk lie in inadequate sleep, inappropriate work in harsh conditions, inadequate breaks, inadequate nutrition or hydration, and/or a high level of personal stress. It is also worth asking the question about the individual‟s fatigue management strategies, i.e. how do they go about preventing fatigue related risk? This question suggests the person has a role to play in thinking about their work and in preventing fatigue risk.

STEP 4

Having observed symptoms of fatigue, formed a view of the risk involved, gained an understanding of the person‟s own understanding of the situation and their functioning, it is time to make a decision about whether you are prepared to allow the situation to go unchecked. Your





decision should be based on your estimate of the risk involved. The critical aspect is what needs to happen to minimise the risk to an acceptable level? Potential steps for intervention are to instruct the individual to take a short break, to do a different task, or if you form the view that the risk is high and that they are so fatigued no break or different task will make a difference to their fatigue risk, and then get them off site. It would not be appropriate to allow a person this fatigued to drive home.

Follow-up question for supervisors involve strategies to prevent this from happening again. Has the person a history of fatigue related impairment or incidents? What action do you need to take? Do disciplinary actions apply? Is the person demonstrating an inability to manage fatigue? Do they need some additional information on fatigue management or referral to the EAP? Do you need to involve someone else in the decision? These questions will be shaped to a significant degree by local policy and procedures, and supervisors should act within the local approach to managing fatigue.
