Project, Fleet Services.

HVNL– Chain of

Responsibility

(CoR) Project,

Fleet Services

Prepared by: Shannon Kyle

HVNL Project Manager

ASP Presentation

December 2015

16

WHAT IS THE CHAIN OF RESPONSIBILITY?

• If you consign, pack, load or receive goods as part of your

business, you could be held legally liable for breaches of the

Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) even though you have no

direct role in driving or operating a heavy vehicle. In addition,

corporate entities, directors, partners and managers are

accountable for the actions of people under their control. This is

the ‘chain of responsibility’ (CoR).

17

CoR BACKGROUND – PARTIES IN THE CHAIN

18

CoR BACKGROUND

• The aim of CoR is to make sure everyone in the supply chain

shares equal responsibility for ensuring breaches of the HVNL

do not occur. Under CoR laws if you exercise (or have the

capability of exercising) control or influence over any transport

task, you are part of the supply chain and therefore have a

responsibility to ensure the HVNL is complied with.

• The law recognises that multiple parties may be responsible for

offences committed by the drivers and operators of heavy

vehicles. A person may be a party in the supply chain in more

than one way. For example they may have duties as the

employer, the operator and the consigner of goods.

• Legal liability applies to all parties for their actions or inactions.

19

HOW DOES IT WORK?

• Offences in mass, dimension, load restraint, and driver fatigue

have been placed in risk based categories.

• Breaches of these laws are classed as minor, substantial,

severe or critical. This recognises that not all offences have the

same impact on safety or infrastructure.

• A range of penalties (for example, warnings, improvement

notices and prohibition orders) give courts greater enforcement

measures for penalising offences. They also help to prevent,

persuade and target the causes of breaches to ensure a culture

of compliance within the heavy vehicle industry.

20

RESPONSIBLE PARTIES

• The ‘responsible person’ concept makes the laws applicable to

a wide category of relevant persons responsible for the

transport of goods. For example:

– Heavy vehicle drivers must drive safely and within speed and

work/rest hour limits

– Loaders must load a vehicle safely and within mass and load

restraint requirements to ensure the load is safe for transport

– Consignors must ensure the delivery of goods does not require the

driver to exceed the permitted number of driving hours, fail to have

minimum rest periods or exceed the speed limits.

21

WHAT ARE THE CoR PENALTIES?

• Breaches of CoR can be both administrative and court imposed

and can be tailored to address specific types of offences.

• Examples of administrative penalties Roads and Maritime may

issue include:

– Improvement notices – identifies areas of risk and requires a

responsible person to address non-compliance

– Warnings – puts a responsible person on notice to address non-

compliance where a minor breach is detected

– Infringement notices – can be an alternative to court proceedings

for a less serious offence.

WHAT ARE THE CoR PENALTIES?

• Examples of court imposed penalties may include:

• Courts may issue fines as well as having the ability to impose:

– Supervisory intervention orders

– Licensing and registration sanctions

– Prohibition orders

– Commercial benefits penalties.

• In addition, body corporates may have a five times multiplier

imposed on their penalty.

22

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN A CoR INVESTIGATION?

• A specialist Compliance Investigation unit manages CoR

investigations.

• A CoR investigation may involve any of the following:

– Inspecting and searching appropriate business premises or

vehicles

– Requesting compliance related information, documentation or

contract records and names, and contact details of other

responsible people in the logistics chain

– Requiring reasonable assistance of relevant parties, including the

interpretation of data and other information

– Seizing of relevant electronic equipment.

23

WHAT IS A HEAVY VEHICLE?

24


• All of the vehicles above have a >12t GVM, and are Fatigue

Regulated Heavy Vehicles under the HVNL.

• The HVNL Project to date has focused on the fatigue related

obligations relating to these vehicle types

25


26

RAISING AWARENESS

• A factsheet on CoR and the associated reasonable steps for

each element of the HVNL legislation (Mass, Dimension, Load

Restraint, Speed & Fatigue) has been distributed to raise

awareness of CoR and help in the development of a current

training needs analysis based on responsible parties duties

under the legislation.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

• Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) Project – Chain of

Responsibility (CoR)

– Project Statement:

Develop and implement a Chain of Responsibility (CoR) framework

across Endeavour Energy that will ensure transport safety risks are

managed and will limit the businesses exposure to any road transport

law prosecution. This will enable Endeavour Energy to adopt best

practice and provide suitable objective evidence to demonstrate that

reasonable steps have been taken to comply with heavy vehicle fatigue,

mass, dimension, load restraint and speed laws - keeping our drivers and

community safe.

WATCH THIS SPACE – NTC REVIEW OF HVNL

• To better align with Australia’s national safety laws, improve

compliance and simplify enforcement, Australia’s transport

ministers have agreed the Heavy Vehicle National Law chain

of responsibility obligations should be reformed to provide a

more outcomes based approach, focussed on primary duties.

• These proposed reforms are limited to the existing regulatory

framework of the Heavy Vehicle National Law and to current

chain of responsibility parties, including executive officers.

• The intention of these reforms is not to extend the scope of

duties but to restructure and consolidate existing obligations

to ensure current parties in the chain of responsibility take a

performance based approach to their responsibilities.

• Detailed policy recommendations arising from this discussion

paper and the Roadworthiness Review will be considered by

ministers in November 2015.

Electrical Safety & Authorisations

57

05 Terry Niemeier

OVERVIEW

Authorisations

• Authorisations fees

• ID Photos

• Trade authorisations

• Safety Management systems

Training

• Close approach training

• ESR amendments

• Accredited RTOs

Electrical Safety

• Arc rated clothing

• Polarity testing

• ESR amendments

58

Authorisations

59

AUTHORISATIONS FEES

• From July 1 the AER has determined that this fee will increase

to;

– $428.38 (inc. GST) per year for renewed authorisations

– $477.27 (inc. GST) for new authorisations

• The increase was to ensure that connected or existing

customers do not pay for the administration of the authorisation

process

– The fee is cost reflective and removes cross subsidisation

60

AUTHORISATIONS FEES

• ASP companies that hold more than one level of accreditation

– Workers who are authorised under more than one level of

accreditation will only be charged once per year

– This can only apply where the worker holds authorisation under

multiple levels shown on the same renewal application form

• New authorisation or upgrade authorisation training

– If a worker attends training provided by Endeavour Energy within a

calendar year either for initial electrical safety rules training, or to

upgrade an authorisation, they will be charged the fee for a new

authorisation

61

“TRADE BASED AUTHORISATIONS”

• Currently authorisations cards show the worker’s qualification

– Cable jointer, Line worker, EFM etc

• This will begin to change over the next 12 months

• An authorisation card will show the type of work that can be

carried out

62

Line worker Construct & Maintain OH mains – Distribution

Cable Jointer Construct & Maintain UG Mains – Distribution

EFM Construct & Maintain Distribution Substation Equipment


• Non-qualified workers, and electrically qualified non-trade

workers will be broken into overhead workers and ground level

workers

• If a non-electrically qualified worker is required to work aloft or

act as a rescue assistant for overhead work they must hold the

overhead authorisation

– This requires annual refresher training (UETTDREL14A)

63

Trades assistant Carry out non-

electrical work – ground work

Carry out non-electrical work – overhead work

Engineer (or similar)

Carry out non-trade electrical work –

ground work

Carry out non-trade electrical work – overhead work


• If you the ASP is transmission pre-qualified, then transmission

level authorisations may be requested

64

Line worker Construct & Maintain OH mains – Transmission

Cable Jointer Construct & Maintain UG Mains – Transmission


• From the time this change is approved there will be a 12 month

transition period

• During this time;

– Existing authorisations will be transitioned to the new notation

– We will confirm that all training and qualification information is up

to date

• Once this change is approved, more information will be

sent out to all ASPs impacted by the change

• These authorisations are only to confirm that the worker can

perform the tasks safely, and in accordance with the Electrical

Safety Rules

65


Impact:

• All authorised workers will need to annually complete “Provide

first aid in an ESI environment” (UETTDRRF10B)

• All trade qualified workers will need to annually complete

– Testing of LV connections (UETTDRRF11A )

– Pole top rescue (UETTDRRF02B)

• Line workers will be specifically authorised to operate an EWP

near live mains

– All other workers will continue to need explicit authorisation

• Non-qualified workers who work aloft will need to initially

complete UETTDREL14A

66

AUTHORISATIONS CARDS - PHOTOS

• We have a small number of ASPs with no photo on their

authorisation card

• You must have a photo on your card

• Make sure you email a passport sized photo with your renewal

– If you don’t currently have a photo,

– If your photo needs updating

67

SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

• Your company must maintain a safety management system to

meet the requirements for accreditation

• You will now need to sign a form when you renew your

accreditation confirming that you have a system in place

68

NSW WIDE TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF

AUTHORISATIONS

• Given the unique nature of ASP work there is the potential for

safety risks to shift from one Network Operator to another

• For this reason a NSW wide authorisation suspension process

has been established for ASP workers.

• If your authorisation to work on Endeavour Energy’s network is

suspended this will be mirrored on Ausgrid and Essential

Energy’s network

• A comparable process to that detailed below has been

established within both Ausgrid and Essential Energy, so if you

are suspended from work on their networks, you will be

suspended from Endeavour Energy’s network

69

Training Requirements

70

AUTHORISATION TO OPERATE OR OBSERVE PLANT

NEAR OH MAINS

• Previously, non-electrically qualified workers who were

authorised to operate plant or equipment near OH mains, were

require to annually complete “close approach training” or

UETTDREL14A

• The required content of this course will be moved into

Endeavour Energy’s ESR refresher from the 16th of December

• You will no longer need to annually complete this training

course to maintain authorisation

– You will however need to confirm that you have operated plant or

machinery near OH mains on at least 10 occasions within the year

• UETTDREL14A will still be required to initially gain authorisation

71

RTO ACCREDITATION

• Endeavour Energy now accredits RTOs to deliver training

• Only accredited RTOs can provide any training specific to

Endeavour Energy, including;

– Electrical Safety Rules

– Excavation in a public place

• Confirm with the RTO that they are accredited prior to

undertaking training

72

Electrical Safety Rules refreshers other than specific Endeavour Energy ESR from an Accredited RTO

Will not be accepted

COMBINED ESR REFRESHER TRAINING

• Endeavour Energy has created an assessment specification

that will allow RTO’s to develop a common NSW ESR refresher

training delivery program subject to network operator approval.

• Currently it is a requirement that RTO’s deliver and assess to a

specific tailored assessment schedule however; in light of

industry feedback it has been decided to allow RTO’s to

streamline this process.

• RTO’s shall be required to submit any common ESR refresher

assessment process to the relevant network operators for

approval.

• Provided the assessment satisfies each network operator’s

requirements, a common streamlined ESR refresher may be

undertaken in the near future.

73

Electrical Safety

74

ELECTRICAL SAFETY RULE AMENDMENTS

• There will not be an amendment to the Electrical Safety Rules

released in 2015

• The next amendment to the electrical safety rules is likely to be

2016

• The delivery method and process is currently being determined

75

ARC RATED CLOTHING

• From 1 July 2016, all workers will need to wear a minimum of

4 cal/cm2 ATPV Arc Rated clothing

when working on or near Endeavour Energy’s network

– This requirement is consistent with the ENA NENS 09 (2014)

minimum recommendation for base garments

– ASPs may decide to procure clothing rated above this rating

• This requirement will be consistent across Networks NSW

– At this stage you don’t need to change anything unless you are

working in Ausgrid’s area

• Clothing meeting these requirements should be available from

commercial clothing suppliers

76

POLARITY TESTING PROCEDURES

• We are currently reviewing our polarity testing procedures and

requirements

• It is proposed that from the 2016 rules amendment, ASPs will

be required to perform service polarity testing, phasing and

neutral integrity testing in accordance with Australian Standard

4741

– ASPs will not be required to follow Endeavour Energy’s specific

procedure for polarity testing (WSY0037)

– ASP companies will need to develop, and document their own

polarity testing, and neutral integrity testing procedure

• This would align with the nationally recognised annual training

in testing of connections that you currently do

77

NEW SUBSTATION KEY ISSUES

• Our security group have rolled our a new locking system at

Endeavour Energy

• Existing padmount substation locks will only be changed where

the cubicle is replaced

• New installed substations will have the new locks

78

NEW SUBSTATION KEY ISSUES

• Security have made the decision that the new keys will not be

available for loan

• The only option currently available for ASPs to access

substations with new locks is to request accompanied access

with Endeavour Energy staff

• We have requested that security resolve this issue

What is the hazard

Multiple houses were energised with a reversed polarity due to an incorrect

LV mains connection.

The connection was made with the distributor de energised when a new

bay of LV ABC was installed. Connections at one side of the LV cable were

correct, but at the other connection C phase and neutral were reversed.

What has been done

Staff noticed the reverse polarity immediately and reinstated the isolation.

There was no personal or property damage caused at any of the customer

installations.

WHERE IS THE EARTHING INFORMATION ON A

DESIGN??

123

Something doesn’t seem right

• If you feel the design appears to be unfit for the location

question the designer

How do we construct

an earthing system?

KEY ISSUES (CONSTRUCT)

• Not achieving standard resistance:

– Follow design rather than standard resistance (limit impact on

nearby homes, pits etc.)

– Question with the designer if target resistance does not line up

with design target

133

SPECIAL EARTHING CONDITIONS

• First Cables out of a Zone Sub are not to be connected to the Distribution earth bar, only earthed back at the ZS (unless the design specifies it)

• Handles which operate HV Switchgear such as ABS, LBS, Regulators, etc maybe connected to earth (in limited situations)

134

UGOH – FIRST POLE OUT

• CMEN:

– Zone substations that are

deliberately bonded into the

distribution earthing environment

(HV earths and/or LVN)

– CMEN terminology is not common

use in the industry

– First sub out or first UGOH out

• Contestable work

◦ If the team require they will contact earthing

140

COMMON EARTHED EXAMPLE 1:

141

Common earthed (with series impedance)

• A common earthed asset is being installed where there maybe low

amount of MEN customers, but joined to a larger MEN pocket.

• The series impedance must be taken into account, sometimes it can

be the limiting factor in the design

• In some cases the secondary MEN can be in lower soil resistivity or

the same as the designed MEN.

• The following is examples shows how this is entered into 3E

• When 3E is used in conjunction with additional calculations, a small

report with the calculations and assumptions should be produced (1-2

pages is sufficient or as required by designer)


142

MEN 2 1500 customers

145

SEPARATELY EARTHED EXAMPLE 1:

146

Separately earthed (interconnected cable screens)

• A separately earthed asset is being installed in a separately earthed

area

• Soil resistivity is 700Ωm

• The following is examples shows how to incorporate a less

conservative analysis

• When 3E is used in conjunction with additional calculations, a small

report with the calculations and assumptions should be produced (1-2

Questions raised from Last Seminar

164

• Information on Earthing (Seminar Topic)

• Lease of Poles and Wires – Impacts on ASP’s

• Design issues – How to (Seminar Topic)

• Need to be able to locate forms

• Where is the link to the ASP website on the Endeavour Energy

website

• What’s going on with GIS and current performance/ (Seminar

Topic)

• Sending fees to the correct party

165

• Interactive reporting of job progress

• What are the time frames for each stage of the design process?

• What is required at each stage of the design/ construct

process?

• Cost share reimbursement scheme more information

Questions raised from Last Seminar

166

• Lease of Poles and Wires – Impact on ASP’s

– Legislation prepared;

• Electricity Network Assets (Authorised Transactions) Bill 2015

• Electricity Retained Interest Corporations Bill 2015

– Bills have been introduced to state parliament and have

progressed through the 2nd reading – now with the Upper House

for review.

– Select committee have convened and presented their report

“Leasing of Electricity Infrastructure” Printed 2nd June 2015.

Lease of Poles and Wires – Impacts on ASP’s

167

– The Plan;

• Long term lease Transgrid has been completed.

– $10.258 Billion lease

– ‘NSW Electricity Networks’ – New Owner

– Foreign Investment Review Board approval has been

given.

– Regular information being provided to staff by NSW Treasury

through a document “NSW Government Lease Transaction

Employee Question and Answers” Most recent 27/10/15.

– Impact on ASP’s

• Little or none with Transgrid lease


168

– Current legislation in NSW supports the ASP scheme:

• Electricity Supply Act 1995

• Electricity Supply (Safety and Network Management)

Regulation 2014

• Scheme for Accreditation of Service Providers (March 2015)

– Legislative change needed if there is a change planned for the

Scheme

– The legislation covering the planned lease of Ausgrid and then

Endeavour do not refer to the ASP Scheme or the ongoing

interaction of the new entity with ASP’s.

– “Customer Funded Contestable Work” is a cost effective and

efficient means of connecting customers to the network.


169

• Locating Forms on the ASP Website

– The Plan

• Standards move to the Endeavour Energy website.

• Standards tab on ASP Website is available for forms.

– The Result

• Standards and associated documents are on the Endeavour

Energy website.

• New Endeavour Energy website has additional facility and

includes a number of updated documents and forms.

• No forms page!

Locating Forms on the ASP Website

170

– Why?

• The old ASP website is incapable of being updated.

• A new ASP Website is being developed which will include

features identified by ASP’s.

– Expected delivery 2nd quarter 2016.

Locating Forms on the ASP Website

171

The Link to the ASP Website on the EE Website Page

• Where is the link to the ASP website on the EE website page?

– The old webpage required that a number of pages were opened to

gain access to the ASP website login page.

– The new website is very simple

• Select ASP’s from the top banner line

• The ASP Website login is immediately available.

172


173


174


• For ASPs who want access to the ASP website;

– Click on [email protected] on the ASP

website page.

– Rachel will respond with a login within a couple of days if all data is

provided on the email form.


175

Sending Fees to the Correct Party

• Sending fees to the correct party

– Notice of Advice letter issued by Endeavour Energy –

• Applicant advises ASP Level 3 and who is responsible for fees

• Around 25 – 30% of jobs the company responsible for fees is

not the Level 3 ASP.

• Current process is manual – requires CWO/ CWE to identify

the different parties and send the appropriate correspondence.

• Investigating option of CAMS change to capture both sets of

data and have the required documents correctly addressed.

176

Sending Fees to the Correct Party

– Letter of intent letter issued by Endeavour Energy -

• Response provided lists all participants and their roles.

• All details updated in CAMS and used for the remainder of

activity on the project.

– Where the developer changes Level 1 after initial notification

• Revised Letter of Intent required.

• Statement also from Developer indicating that all contractual

responsibilities to original Level 1 have been met.

177

Interactive Reporting of Job Progress

• Interactive reporting of job progress

Drivers:

– AER Decision

– Lease imminent

– No corporate appetite for change

Result:

– Company will not proceed with interactive online reporting.

178

Interactive Reporting of Job Progress

• Customer self service

– This initiative will proceed.

– Online application / validation for basic connection offer.

– Issue PTC if all criteria are met.

179
