The concept of Trigger Action Response Plans (TARPS) was first formally introduced in the 1998 Approved Standard For Mine Safety Management Plans by the then Queensland Department of Mines and Energy in response to the Moura No. 2 Mine Disaster. Since that time TARPS have become widely used to support the management of Principal/Major Hazards. The current Queensland legislation does not provide any guidance on the formation of TARPS except for triggering evacuation. Recognised Standard 24 (in draft form) does provide guidance in terms of spontaneous combustion management (Resources Safety and Health Queensland (RSHQ), 2024). NSW has provided this guidance since 2011 for spontaneous combustion (latest version NSW Resource Regulator (NSW RR), 2021) and 2016 for Principal Hazard Management Plans (NSW RR, 2022). General guidance on the creation of TARPS has been outlined in WA in the Work Health and Safety (Mines) Regulations (Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, 2022). The primary focus has been on identifying and responding to abnormal conditions before they pose a risk to mine personnel. Overall, it is difficult to assess the success of TARPS, as it is not possible to compare the incidence of the absence of harm to the presence of potential for harm It appears that this approach has been very successful in preventing loss of life. However, on a number of occasions there still has been considerable disruption to production and even closure of the mine and loss of the asset. Modern mining is increasingly complex, and as a result TARPS and their application need to adapt to these changing conditions. This paper will discuss the need to develop the TARP concept beyond the traditional reactive processes and for there to be an integration of TARPS between principal hazards where appropriate eg strata management, ventilation management, fire and explosion prevention and spontaneous combustion management. It will provide examples where this broader integration may have prevented major incidents. This integration of TARPS could also apply to management of other risks such as traffic management.
