The Resources Regulator has published the Fires on mobile plant annual report FY24 that details annual data of notified incidents involving fires on mobile plant (FOMP).
There was an 8% increase in notified fire on mobile plant incidents compared to the previous year. The number of FOMP incidents (206) notified was the third highest recorded over the last 10 years and only 2 fewer than the highest total of 208 in FY 2021.
The Regulator’s position is that all fires on mobile plant are avoidable and preventable and we have adopted a zero tolerance approach where mine operators have not taken appropriate steps to manage this risk.
