The Resources Regulator has noticed an increasing trend in incidents involving the overriding, bypassing, forcing or failing of diesel engine systems safety circuits. These ensure that explosion-protection characteristics remain effective to control surface temperature and prevent flames, sparks and hot gases emitting from the diesel engine system.
The Regulator has published a safety bulletin in the wake of this trend with a series of recommendations and an accompanying video.
Read the full safety bulletin and watch the video.
