Application and assessment for shaft sinking installation and approval of shaft sinking operationsStatutory requirements for winding systems and shaft sinking are contained in Parts 11 and 12 of the Mines Safety and Inspection Regulations 1995 (MSIR) and any Australian Standards (AS) referenced therein.

Regulations 12.3 and 12.4 of the MSIR require notification to, and approval from, the senior inspector of mines before sinking any new shaft or extending any existing shaft. Proposed shaft sinks using a mobile crane may be approved for use by the senior inspector of mines for shaft depths up to 50 m (refer regulation 12.5). If the proposed shaft sink uses a temporary winding system, approval is required from the State mining engineer under regulations 11.3 and 11.4 of the MSIR for the installation and use of the temporary winding system. If modifications or repairs are required to the temporary winding system used in the shaft sink then notification and approval of the repairs are required under regulations 11.6 and 11.7 respectively.

This form may be used to obtain such approvals for any shaft sinking proposals (including modifications or repairs) that include the use of mobile cranes and/or temporary winding installations.

Note: Applications for approval of permanent winding installations (including modifications or repairs) must be submitted using the separate application form available.

This form assists mine managers or other responsible persons to prepare the application. Departmental officers will also use the form for assessment and approval. Approval typically includes several stages:

Stage 1A – Shaft pre-sinkAssessment of proposal for sinking of the shaft collar and installation of collar equipment (i.e. the shaft pre-sink). If the pre-sink operations only involve the use of a registered mobile crane to hoist broken rock (i.e. no temporary winding equipment) then a structural/mechanical design review is generally not required.

If temporary winding equipment is required for the pre-sink or for further shaft sinking beyond 50m depth, then design approval of the temporary winding system is required.

Stage 1B – Design approval of temporary winding systemThe initial approval of the temporary winding system design is largely a desktop assessment of the various components of the winding system based on design drawings, engineers’ calculations and other documentation.

Any approval of the design will be contingent on submission and acceptance of the manufacturing, inspection and test records as well as final site inspection/testing.

Stage 2 – Manufacturing, inspection and testing recordsAll material certificates, rope certificates, fabrication records, manufacturer’s data report (MDR), non-destructive testing (NDT) records, load test certificates and other compliance documents are required to be available for inspection. If available at the time, copies of this documentation may be included with the initial design submission (Stage 1), or may be submitted later, but before stage 3 final site inspection/testing.

This application form may initially be submitted with some or all of the stage 2 information incomplete. Such items should be marked “to be advised” for the stage 1 submission. The form may be updated and resubmitted when all the stage 2 information is available.

Application for shaft sinking installation and approval of shaft sinking operations of 33

Stage 3 – Final site inspection/testingOn completion of the installation of the temporary winding system, the proponent is required to contact the Mines Safety Directorate to arrange site inspection and witnessing of the site performance testing. Final approval to use the temporary winding system is granted on the basis of a satisfactory site assessment by an inspector of mines [MSIR r. 11.5] who makes an appropriate entry in the winder record book.

Note on independent design verification

Although the regulations in Part 11 of the MSIR do not require design verification for an application to be accepted, design verification is highly recommended for the following reasons:

it demonstrates appropriate engineering due diligence by the applicant

it reduces the need for a detailed check by departmental officers (i.e. approval times are reduced)

less potential for errors and defects to be discovered by departmental officers (i.e. less questions, delays and re-work).

Pursuant to MSIR regulation 11.3(2), Departmental officers may choose to request an independent design verification if significant design issues are observed (i.e. potential delays and rework).

Design verification (or validation) should be undertaken by a competent person who was not involved with the design. This may include, but is not necessarily limited to, third party independent verifiers.

Crane load should not be able to free fall. Confirm free fall prevention device is fitted and will be enabled

If crane used to hoist broken rock – describe effective method of signalling to allow communication with crane driver




Provide detail and confirm persons not raised or lowered from shaft excavation unless: Travels in an approved conveyance Wears safety harness with fall arrest/restraint

attached to an approved anchor point Is within sight of a person stationed in a place

to communicate with the crane driver

Confirm a person must not remain in the shaft excavation while crane is used to hoist broken rock by means of a grab

Provide details on crane drivers’ proposed hours of work and fatigue management measures
