INTERFACE RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN (IRMP)

Interface Parties Aurizon Network Pty Ltd (Aurizon Network) and <Insert External Party> (External Party)

Interface Description

<INTERFACE> at <LOCATION> <INTERFACE> at <LOCATION> <INTERFACE> at <LOCATION> <INTERFACE> at <LOCATION>

Relevant Agreement/s

<AGREEMENT TITLE/S> OR

Agreements between Aurizon Network and the Operator granting the use of access rights for the purpose of rail transport (as per the undertaking at the time the Relevant Agreement was executed)

Interface Type

This Interface Risk Management Plan (IRMP) has been developed as the following interfaces with Aurizon Network have been identified: ▪ Rolling Stock Operator▪ Transfer Facility▪ Level Crossing / Road Manager▪ Infrastructure Crossing▪ Rail Connection▪ Rail Infrastructure Manager

Risk Assessment Scope

This Interface Risk Management Plan covers interfacing operations for both parties in identifying all reasonably foreseeable interface risks and agrees on appropriate controls, considering: ▪ entry onto infrastructure from Aurizon Network infrastructure;▪ exit from infrastructure onto Aurizon Network infrastructure and property;▪ access and working within the rail corridor and Aurizon Network infrastructure and property;▪ safety risks relating to the rail operations in the interface area;▪ safety risk relating to emergency and incident management response; and▪ safety risks relating to the interface with third parties and members of the public.

This risk assessment has been conducted in accordance with Aurizon Network standards.

Definitions

Danger Zone All space within 3m horizontally from the nearest rail and any distance above or below this 3m unless a safe place exists or can be created.

Rail Corridor The land on which a railway is built; comprising all property between property fences, or, where there are no fences, 10m from the outside rail of the outside track.

Transfer Facility Coal loading facilities and any alterations, additions and replacements made by an External Party from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt the Transfer Facilities include all concrete structures (excluding concrete railway sleepers and concrete structures supporting the rail at either end of the spillage pit), beams supporting rail facilities and any walkways across the spillage pit, but do not include any rail or rail fastenings, ballast, track, dragging equipment detectors, weighbridge readout or any rail related telecommunications equipment.

Rail Infrastructure Manager (RIM)

A person who has effective management and control of rail infrastructure or proposed rail infrastructure, whether or not the person owns or will own the rail infrastructure or has or will have a statutory or contractual right to use the rail infrastructure or to control, or provide, access to it.

Rolling Stock Operator (RSO) Is a person who has effective management and control of the operation or movement of rolling stock or proposed rolling stock on a railway track but does not include a person only because that person drives the rolling stock or controls the network or network signals that affect the operation or movement of the rolling stock.

Document Review Reviews can be initiated by either party at any time as requested. Reviews can be triggered by an event (incident or near miss) occurrence. Reviews are to be conducted if meaningful changes are implemented or otherwise in accordance with the Access Undertaking. Reviews are to be conducted at least every three years.
