INTRODUCTION 1.1 Cntext Many incidents at industrial facilities have ccurred due t the unfreseen cnsequences resulting frm the implementatin f mdificatins r changes. Withut apprpriate cnsideratin f all pssible implicatins, such mdificatins r change may intrduce a new r uncntrlled hazard t peple, envirnment and equipment. 1.2 Purpse The purpse f this standard is t define Queensland Nickels minimum requirements fr managing all permanent r temprary mdificatins r changes t rganisatin, equipment, plant, materials, standards r prcedures and changes assciated with laws and regulatins assciated with the activities f Queensland Nickel and its Cntractrs. 1.3 Scpe This system applies t all changes at Queensland Nickel. 1.4 Regulatry Requirements There a number f regulatry systems which require changes within a facilities t be managed such that the change des nt result in a new hazard t persnnel and equipment. These regulatry systems include, but are nt limited t the fllwing: Petrleum And Gas (Prductin and Safety Act) Dangerus Gds Safety Management Act 1.4.1 Obligatins under the Dangerus Gds Safety Management Act Under the Dangerus Gds Safety Management Act, the ccupier f a Majr Hazardus Facility (MHF) is required t fulfil certain bligatins befre any mdificatin is carried ut at the facility that significantly alters the risk assciated with the facility. These requirements include: ntifying the regulatry authrity; reviewing and updating the SRA; implementatin f specific emplyee training and educatin; reviewing and updating certain risk reductin measures such as emergency plans and relevant cmpnents f the Safety Management System (SMS); and reviewing the safety reprt and prviding an update t the regulatry authrity. 2. ACCOUNTABILITIES Manager Ensure cmpliance t the requirements f this manual Resurces are made available t cmply with the requirements f this manual.

DEFINITIONS TERM Parent Child DEFINITION which prvided defines the minimum requirements f Child r specific area standards. Used where mre than ne standard is required t facilitate the cntrl f management imperative ie Management f. which adheres t the minimum requirements a Parent standard in addressing it s specific scpe? Systematic Risk Assessment (SRA) Cmprehensive and systematic assessment f prcesses emplying dangerus and cmbustible materials that culd cntribute t r present a ptential majr incident hazard. Safety Reprt Owner ( ) Majr Hazardus Facility Dcument that demnstrate t the regulatr that the facility achieves an acceptable level f risk t peple, prperty and the envirnment. Or The safety reprt is the means f describing the management f safety at the MHF and demnstrating that this leads t an verall facility risk that is acceptable. QN emplyee wh is authrised t define dcument requirements. a facility where dangerus and/r cmbustible materials are present in a quantity exceeding their threshld quantities at Queensland Nickel is defined as the temprary r permanent change t persnnel, rganisatin, activities, prcesses, facilities, physical envirnment, equipment, technlgy, standards, law, materials, prducts, systems and services. 4. MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE PARENT STANDARD T minimise the impact f alteratin, mdificatins r changes, prcedures shuld be established fr the cntrlled Management f (MOC) at the facility. This dcument is the Management f Parent. All management f change standards, which address specific areas f change ie Temprary Defeats, will be knwn as Management f Child s.

All MOC child standards will reference the Parent standard and cmply with the minimum requirements f a change management prcedure as dcumented in sectin 4.5 belw. Diagram 1 belw further illustrates the relatinship between the Parent and Child s. In general the number f standards shall be kept t a minimum. A new Child MOC standard shall nly be created where a discrete prcess r area f change requires a specific apprach t ensure integrity r efficiency in the business.

A change register and hw dcumentatin assciated with change will be recrded. The requirement fr each change / mdificatin t be risk assessed regardless f the perceived significance f the change. The prcedure shall prvide guidance t an apprpriate risk assessment apprach. Where the risk assciated with the change requires apprval by the General Manager, the prcedure will require the Risk Superintendent t be ntified t determine whether the Systematic Risk Assessment (SRA) r Safety Case, requires mdificatin and ultimately whether ntificatin t external agencies is required. The implementatin f risk reductin measures t manage risk t ALARP shall be dcumented with the risk assessment. This shall include: s t blue print dcumentatin ie drawings, data sheets, lgic etc s t prcedures /standards/ wrk instructins etc Additinal training r educatin required as a result f the change Any additinal accuntabilities assigned t a rle as a result f the change The requirement t review and update any site risk registers, which may be affected by the change The requirement t review and update any emergency plans, which may be affected by the change A dcumented cmmunicatin prcess t ensure infrmatin regarding changes is apprpriately cmmunicated.
