1. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1.1. Background
Orica Australia Pty Ltd (Orica) operates an ammonium nitrate facility at Kooragang
Island, NSW. Orica received development approval from the NSW Department of
Planning and Environment (DPE) for an expansion of the Kooragang Island (KI) facility
in 2009 (application no: 08_0129).
The development has been staged, with the first main stage being an uprate of the
existing ammonia plant which was completed and commenced operation in 2012. The
subsequent stage was construction of new nitrate acid (NAP4) and ammonium nitrate
manufacturing plants (AN3), however this has been put on hold due to changes in
economic conditions.
The NSW DPE attached various conditions to the approval including the requirement for
a Hazard Audit (08_0129, Schedule 3, item 20) to be undertaken every 3 years. The first
audit was undertaken after the ammonia plant uprate by Aecom in 2013 (doc ref: Hazard
Audit - 2013 Ammonium Nitrate Plant - Kooragang Island 60274735-RPT Final Rev 0
March 2013).
Orica retained Sherpa Consulting Pty Ltd (Sherpa) as independent auditors approved
by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) to conduct the 2016
Hazard Audit. This report contains the findings of the Hazard Audit conducted in August
2016.
The audit was undertaken in accordance with a protocol developed from the NSW
Hazardous Industry Planning Advisory Paper 5 Hazard Audit Guidelines (HIPAP 5),
NSW Hazardous Industry Planning Advisory Paper 9 Safety Management Systems
(HIPAP 9) and ISO19011:2014 Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems.
The audit comprised:
desktop documentation review to prepare for the audit visit.
site visits in August 2016 which included completing the site induction, observing
site operations, discussions with site personnel and a review of the Orca KI site
documentation and Orica’s integrated corporate Safety Health Environment and
Community management system (SHECMS) as implemented at the KI site.
review of supplementary documentation provided by Orica following the site
visit.
The audit focused on changes in operations at KI since the 2013 Hazard Audit and
included specific review of:
The site and plant modifications associated with the expansion project since
2013. This is primarily a set of ammonia risk reduction projects referred to as the
Ammonia Management Improvement (AMI) Project.
Document: 21065-RP-001 Revision: 0 Revision Date: 11-Nov-2016 File name: 21065-RP-001 Rev 0 Page 9
Close out of actions arising from 2013 Hazard Audit and other safety studies that
have occurred since 2013.
Degree of implementation of recommendations from the CSB Texas West
investigation report (Final 2016).
Compliance of AN storage arrangements with relevant sections of AS4326
(2008) Storage and Handling of Oxidising Agents.
Assessment against the recommended practices in the industry guidance
(SAFEX Good Practice Guide: Storage of Solid Technical Grade AN, Rev 2).
The audit did not cover environmental performance or conditions of consent as this is
covered by a separate Environmental Audit (last completed in 2014).
1.2. Summary of Findings
Overall, the management of safety hazards at the Orica KI site is considered by the
auditors to be well covered by the integrated Orica corporate Safety, Health,
Environment and Community Management System (SHECMS) at the KI site. There is a
strong safety culture evident at KI and there is a positive attitude at all levels that should
foster on-going improvements in process safety management. An overall assessment
against each element of the audit protocol based on the auditors’ judgment is provided
in Table 1.1 and further details are provided in the detailed audit worksheets for each
element (APPENDIX D). An action list is provided in
As the audit protocol used in the 2013 Hazard Audit (Aecom) and the 2016 Hazard Audit
(Sherpa) covered in this report is not the same, it is not possible to make a direct
comparison in findings. However for information, Table 1.1 also identifies the system
elements where recommendations were made in the 2013 Hazard Audit.
Since the 2013 Hazard Audit, the KI site has also been subject to internal corporate
reviews (ie SHERMIS audit 2015) and regulatory audits (ie NSW DPE for Major Hazard
Facility (MHF) 2014).
Overall, the SHECMS as implemented at the KI site was considered satisfactory by the
auditors for managing the technical safety hazards at the site.
1.3. Recommendations
A total of 28 recommendations to improve safety management at the KI site were
identified and are listed in Table 7.1. These have also been organized by management
system element as per HIPAP 9 and summarised in Table 1.2.
Recommendations are divided into two categories:
1. Actions: These items relate to areas where compliance with a regulatory instrument
or Orica internal company standard could not be confirmed based on the evidence
available to the auditors. This included the system elements relating to Hazard
Document: 21065-RP-001 Revision: 0 Revision Date: 11-Nov-2016 File name: 21065-RP-001 Rev 0 Page 10
Identification and Risk Assessment, Management of Change (MOC) and compliance
with closeout of previous Hazard Audit actions.
2. Observations: recommendations have been provided that could enhance existing
systems or where a specific check is recommended for the next Hazard Audit in
2019 to confirm continuance of a system or programme. These items are labelled as
Observation in the recommendation summary.
1.4. Closeout
Following submission of this audit report to DPE, Orica will enter the recommendations
and required completion dates into the Enablon tracking system (adopted Orica-wide)
to ensure actions are closed out and documented as such.

SHE Management
System Structure
and Administration
Fully Implemented No findings Orica's integrated corporate Safety Health Environment Community Management System (SHECMS) covers all the main
requirements of a Safety Management System. This includes policy, vision, 21 SHEC Standards and 29 Major Hazard Standards
as well as supporting corporate and site level procedures. All the elements have been implemented at the KI site level. Potential
improvements in a specific element are identified where relevant under the individual element headings.
2. Commitment and
Leadership
Fully Implemented No findings The relevant SHECMS element is Standard 1 Leadership and Accountability.
SHEC management is initiated at the corporate level and managed as an integrated part of site management activities with the
Site Manager having overall responsibility for implementation. The auditor observed a visible commitment to safety management
at KI in the form of a thorough site induction, integration of SHEC items into daily meetings, highly visible BoS and Key
Performance Indicators (KPI) information and the large number of risk reduction projects being implemented.
3. Organization,
Accountabilities
and
Responsibilities
Fully Implemented No findings The relevant SHECMS elements are Standard 1 Leadership and Accountability and Standard 2 Planning, Goals and Targets.
These include an accountability and communications framework.
Potential improvements in resourcing, definition or responsibility for a specific element are identified under the individual element
headings where relevant.

.
Objectives, Target
and Plans
Fully Implemented No findings The relevant SHECMS element is Standard 2 Planning, Goals and Targets.
At the site level a SHEC improvement plan is developed annually.
At an individual level all employees have documented personal SHEC objectives that demonstrate the employee’s contribution
to SHEC performance. Potential improvements in objectives or planning are identified under the individual element headings
where relevant.
5. Legal
Requirements and
Codes
Fully Implemented No findings Standard 3 Legal Requirements is the relevant SHECMS element.
A compliance register is available on site
There is good evidence of knowledge of technical codes and standards (corporate and external), Work Health and Safety
regulations, and MHF licence and development approval conditions of consent requirements.
6. Documentation
Fully Implemented No findings Standard 7 Documentation and Document Control is the relevant SHECMS element.
There is an extensive document base covering the SHECMS and supporting procedures at corporate and KI site level which are
available within the Document Management System and accessible via the Orica Intranet (Globe).
Drawings are managed electronically via Vault.
Incident information is in a corporate system Enablon
Site specific records are available either within the relevant site databases (eg Modifications Lotus Notes database, Lotus Notes
Risk Register), SAP for maintenance and Permit to Work (PTW), and in some cases network drives.

7. Hazard Identification
and Risk Control
Mostly
Implemented
Recommendations
made
Standard 4 Hazard and Change Management is the relevant SHECMS element.
Standard 9 Project Delivery is also relevant.
There are many risk assessments of various types and methodologies for the KI site with a large amount of detail available at
the individual hazard identification and risk scenario level in the Risk Registers. However, an overall KI site risk profile was not
available so it was not possible to identify for example the highest risk on the KI site, or the effect of risk reduction measures
completed to date (or control measures removed) on the overall site risk profile. In addition there are a very large number of
open actions (more than 1000) arising from the periodic hazard study and Process Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and
Controls (HIRAC) processes that have not been prioritised or resourced. Closure of some modifications associated with the AMI
project is also overdue as residual risk Process HIRACs have not been migrated to the KI Risk Register. Recommendations
have been made to review the potential to summarise the various risk assessments into a single site risk register that provides
an overall KI risk profile, and also develop a prioritisation method and appropriate resourcing to address the large volume of
actions.
8. Operating Procedures
Fully Implemented No findings Standard 8 Operational Control and Standard 13 Personnel and Process Safety are the relevant SHECMS elements.
Operations appear to be covered by extensive procedures, available with the DMS. At the time of the audit the AN area
procedures for response to abnormal situations appeared more developed than the Ammonia Plant procedures.
9. Process Safety
Information
Fully Implemented No findings Key process safety information such as PIDs, PFDs, hazardous area drawings, mechanical design basis and equipment
datasheets was generally available and information relevant to their role accessible by interviewed personnel. Random
inspection found these documents to be up to date.
10. Contractor
Management and
Procurement
Fully Implemented No findings Standard 10 Contractors, Suppliers and Partners is the relevant SHECMS element.
There are formal processes in place for contractor selection and management and contractors appear to be well managed.
Introduction of Track Easy system provides transparency of the status of licences, inductions and PTW training
11. Pre Start-up Safety
Fully Implemented No findings Standard 13 Personnel and Process Safety is the relevant SHECMS element.
Pre-startup safety checks are well covered in the modification acceptance and handover certificates system and also in plant
startup checklists.

Mostly
Implemented
Recommendations
made
Standard 12 Plant and Equipment Integrity is the relevant SHECMS element.
Standard 9 Project Delivery and Standard 4 Hazard and Change Management are also relevant.
SAP provides comprehensive records of maintenance history and scheduled maintenance activity. There is a low rate of
breakdown maintenance. A risk based inspection regime is in place that covers all types of equipment. A hazardous area
compliance improvement project is well underway. SHEC critical equipment is formally identified. A recommendation was made
to develop a formal process covering required documentation and authorisation / acceptance process for any deferrals of
inspection or maintenance.
13. Safe Work
Practices
Fully Implemented Recommendations
made
Standard 8 Operational Control and Standard 13 Personnel and Process Safety are the relevant SHECMS elements.
Permit to Work Systems are well developed and appear to be well implemented. Some potential improvements linking isolation
plans to permits were identified.
14. Management of
Change
Mostly
Implemented
No findings Standard 4 Hazard and Change Management is the relevant SHECMS element.
There is a formal control of modification and change management process in place which is extensively used with supporting
records available. There is an opportunity to improve the quality of closeout of hazard study actions associated with
modifications. A recommendation was made to implement a periodic check of the quality of closeout of a sample of modifications.
15. Accident/ Incident
Reporting and
Investigation
Fully Implemented No findings Standard 20 Non-conformance, Incidents and Actions is the relevant SHECMS element.
Enablon is used to record all incidents and track associated investigations / actions. Data entry and investigation was
comprehensive and transparent.
16. Training and
Education
Fully Implemented No findings Standard 5 Training, Competency and Awareness is the relevant SHECMS element.
Training and Competency systems were well developed and covered a comprehensive induction (attended by the auditor),
operations, safe work practices and corporate requirements such as use of the DMS, modifications and incident reporting in
Enablon.
No specific improvements were identified.
17. Emergency
Planning and
Response
Mostly
Implemented
No findings Standard 19 Emergency and Crisis Preparedness is the relevant SHECMS element.
Emergency Response plan (ERP) is in place and linked to MHF. It has been recently reviewed and updated to reflect changes
in site operations and neighbours, and drills / exercises completed. There is an opportunity to improve collection and
implementation of learnings from drills and evacuations.

Standard 8 Security is the relevant SHECMS element.
Security was not reviewed in detail.
KI is secure site and has a SSAN security plan in place.
Recent upgrades since 2013 Hazard Audit include perimeter fence disturbance monitoring and alarms at gatehouse (24 hr
attendance)
The auditor was accompanied by SSAN licensed personnel to areas handling AN.
Locks were observed on AN stores and AN shipping containers.
19. Auditing and
Management Review
Fully Implemented No findings Standard 21 Monitoring, Audit and Review is the relevant SHECMS element.
Numerous internal and external audits are conducted with actions tracked in Enablon.
KPIs are set up for tracking performance of each element of the management system

22. Condition of Consent
Compliance
Fully Implemented Recommendations
made
Condition of Consent checks were limited to items relevant to the operational phase and to safety / hazard impacts. These were
found to be complied with.
The audit did not cover items relating solely to the construction phase or matters unrelated to process safety. Environmental (air,
water pollution, Environmental Protection Licence (EPL) compliance) or amenity issues (eg noise, traffic) were not assessed.
23. Industry guideline
compliance (SAFEX)
Fully Implemented Not included A review of the AN areas against the guidance in SAFEX was carried out. The AN storage installations are consistent with the
design and operations guidance in SAFEX. The quantitative risk assessment (QRA) work carried out as part of the preliminary
/ final hazard analysis (PHA/ FHA) for the KI expansion is also generally consistent with the SAFEX QRA guidance.
24. AS4326 Compliance
Fully Implemented Not included A review of compliance of the ammonium nitrate (AN) stores as completed against Section 9 (which has specific requirements
relating to storage and handling of AN and ammonium nitrate solution (ANS)) of AS4326 (2008) The storage and handling of
oxidizing agents. For AN stores these requirements are very similar to the SAFEX guidance.
It is noted that the KI site AN stores exceed the maximum storage quantities given in AS4362 (which requires then regulatory
consultation). QRA and MHF licence work has been undertaken on basis of the actual KI AN inventories and agreed by DPE
and Safework hence regulatory consultation requirement is regarded as satisfied.

25. CSB Investigation
into West Texas
(recommendations)
Mostly
Implemented
Not included A review of the AN stores against the findings of the CSB West Texas investigation was carried out. These deal largely with
separation of combustible materials from AN storage and emergency response preparedness and awareness of emergency
responders. These areas are well addressed at KI. A small number of items with respect to the design basis of the fire protection
systems and AN store ventilation need to be clarified.
26. Closeout of 2013
Hazard Audit
recommendations
Mostly
Implemented
Recommendations
made (against 2009
audit)
A review of the 2013 Hazard audit actions was completed. The majority of these have been addressed however in 2 cases
adequate information supporting the closeout was not available and needs to be verified. A number of other areas are being
implemented as ongoing projects, for example improving valve labelling in existing plant.
27. Closeout of other
study actions
Mostly
Implemented
No findings A review of actions from other studies was carried out. A number of hazard studies (HAZOPs, CSS) for the relevant stages (AMI
project, New Boiler) of the KI expansion project have been completed since the previous audit in 2013. These were reviewed
and the completion status of actions is appropriate for the stage of the projects (ie installation not complete so not all actions
complete). The KI site FSS has also been updated in 2016. There are two open recommendations.

2. Commitment and Leadership
1. Observation: the available Safety policy at the time of the audit (Sept
2016) was signed in July 2013 by previous CEO (this is a corporate
issue and can't be addressed at the KI site level). Noted that at the
time of the audit there was a review of the SHECMS being
undertaken at corporate level so the policy would most likely be
updated as part of this). Check at next Hazard Audit (2019).

4. Objectives, Target and Plans
16. Develop a system for managing actions arising from hazard studies
and risk assessments that allows demonstration of progress to be
shown. This should include:
- prioritisation of the actions in a timely manner as they arise out of
studies such as periodic hazard study 2 and 3. (Priority could be
based on addressing non-compliance with regulations, magnitude
of potential risk reduction / effectiveness, ease of installation, cost
etc similar to the SFARP process for MHF)
- implementation schedule and associated resources that suit
allocated priority.
A KPI could also be developed around completion rate or overdue
high priority actions.
Requirements
: 4.1.4, 7.1.5
5. Legal Requirements and
Codes
14. Observation: The TWC system appears to be being phased out. It
was unclear at time of the audit if all compliance information had
been migrated to Enablon. Check in next Hazard Audit (2019).
Requirements
: 5.1.1
13. Observation: Orica has previously had in place Technical Panels to
provide advice to the sites on best practices for the various
technologies (AN, ammonia). These are referred to in the SHEC MS
and the BoS. If this structure is changed, KI will need to update
process for seeking technical advice in various systems, for
example Modifications. Check in next Hazard Audit (2019)

15. An overall risk profile for the KI site should be developed to allow
identification of the highest site risks, and also used to show risk
reduction over time or effect of removal of safeguards. From a
hazard perspective this should cover risk with a safety
consequence. (However it is noted that SHECMS requires that
each site maintain a record of their current hazards in a Major

specific guidance and instructions for responding to abnormal
process situations, the NH3 plant doesn't although there is some
coverage in scenario based training. Orica to review whether the
NH3 plant should adopt a similar approach to developing
procedures for response to abnormal situations as has been done
in the Nitrates areas. Check in next Hazard Audit (2019)
Requirements
: 8.1.4
23. Observation: The MHF Process HIRACs have identified some
procedures as critical controls. It is suggested that Orica determine
a process for differentiating these from other procedures, eg

2. CONTEXT AND SCOPE OF HAZARD AUDIT
2.1. Background
Orica Australia Pty Ltd (Orica) operates an ammonium nitrate facility at Kooragang
Island, NSW, comprising an ammonia plant, a number of nitric acid and ammonium
nitrate manufacturing plants, associated storages and other infrastructure.
The site has been operating since the late 1960s and has been expanded several times.
It is the subject to various development approvals with associated conditions of consent
including preparation of a series of safety and environmental management studies in the
design and commission stages, as well as the requirement for a periodic Hazard Audit
in the operational stage of the facility.
2.2. Audit context
This report is the 2016 Hazard Audit for the Orica Ammonium Nitrate facility located at
15 Greenleaf Rd, Kooragang Island, NSW (the Orica KI site).
Orica retained Sherpa Consulting Pty Ltd (Sherpa) as independent auditors approved
by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) to conduct the 2016
Hazard Audit. The auditor approval is contained in APPENDIX A.
The Hazard Audit concurrently covers the requirement for a Hazard Audit associated
with NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) conditions to the approval
for two main developments to the site:
08_0129 (2009) Orica Ammonium Nitrate Expansion Project
N91/00593/003 (April 1998) Ammonium Nitrate Plant Upgrade
2.2.1. 2009 Expansion
Orica received development approval from the NSW Department of Planning and
Environment (DPE) for an expansion of the KI facility in 2009 (application no: 08_0129).
The proposal covered expansion of the existing ammonium nitrate (AN) manufacturing
facility, comprising modifications and upgrades to existing plants and infrastructure and
the development of additional nitic acid and AN plants (NAP4 and AN3). Subsequently,
modifications to the consent were made (MOD1 in 2012, MOD2 in 2014 and MOD3 in
2015).
The proposed development has been staged (as agreed with DPE) with the first main
stage being an uprate of the existing ammonia plant which was completed and
commenced operation in 2012.
The subsequent stage was construction of new nitrate acid (NAP4) and ammonium
nitrate manufacturing plants (AN3), however this has been put on hold due to changes
in economic conditions.

Hazard Audit Extract from 08_0129 Schedule 3 Item 20:
A previous Hazard Audit was undertaken by Aecom in 2013 approximately one year
after the ammonia plant uprate commenced operations (doc ref: Hazard Audit - 2013
Ammonium Nitrate Plant - Kooragang Island 60274735-RPT Final Rev 0 March 2013).
2.2.2. 1998 Expansion
Orica received development approval from the NSW Department of Planning and
Environment (DPE) for an expansion of the KI facility in 1998. The proposal covered
expansion of the existing ammonium nitrate (AN) manufacturing facility and
development of additional nitic acid plant (NAP3). This project has been completed and
has been operational for some time.
Hazard Audit Extract from N91/00593/003 Schedule 2 Item 12:
2.3. Audit Purpose and Objectives
The overall purpose is to undertake the Hazard Audit in compliance with condition of
consent requirements.
Document: 21065-RP-001 Revision: 0 Revision Date: 11-Nov-2016 File name: 21065-RP-001 Rev 0 Page 23
The Hazard Audit objectives are to determine that:
Orica management and personnel understand and demonstrate Safety, Health
and Environment (SHE) leadership.
Safety concerns are being managed in accordance with regulatory requirements
and commitments in the environmental management plan and hazard and risk
assessments for the site.
Relevant NSW Regulations and Orica safety expectations have been identified
and complied with.
An adequate Safety Management System (SMS) framework for risk
management of safety issues (identification, assessment, tracking and close-out)
has been established.
Adequate safety management system documentation has been prepared by
Orica.
Audit actions from the previous Hazard Audit and similar audits have been
closed.
Orica has allocated sufficient resources for managing environmental and safety
issues.
Industry standard guidance (e.g. SAFEX, AS4326) are being followed.
Where appropriate, recommendations to improve the overall safety of the facility will be
provided.
2.4. Scope
The Audit covered the operations and associated plant/equipment of the Orica KI site.
The nature of an audit means that a sample of activities is examined. In this case the
audit focused on:
Site inspection of the ammonia plant and road tanker loadout area, NAP3/AN2
plants and AN stores.
Documentation review and site inspection of changes in operations at KI since
the previous 2013 Hazard Audit was completed
Specific reviews were undertaken as follows:
The site and plant modifications associated with the expansion project since
2013. This is primarily a set of ammonia risk reduction projects referred to as the
Ammonia Management Improvement (AMI) Project.
Close out of actions arising from 2013 Hazard Audit and other studies that may
have occurred since 2013.

Investigation Report (Final January 2016)
Compliance with AS4326 (2008) Storage and Handling of Oxidising Agents.
Assessment against the recommended practices in the industry guidance
(SAFEX Good Practice Guide: Storage of Solid Technical Grade AN, Rev 2
2014).
2.5. Exclusions and Limitations
The audit did not cover environmental performance or conditions of consent as this is
covered in a separate Environmental Audit (last completed in 2014).
Security aspects were not assessed in detail as there is a detailed security plan in place
and the site is subject to Security Sensitive AN (SSAN) regulatory requirements.
At the time of conducting this audit (August 2016), there were various major projects in
progress and at different stages of advancement. In particular:
A set of ammonia risk reduction projects referred to as the Ammonia Management
Improvement (AMI) Project. A significant proportion of this project is complete
including installation of ammonia storage flare and nitrates flare, consolidation of the
ammonia supply to the AN plants to a single smaller storage vessel and removal of
NAP2 ammonia storage bullet, and connection of various ammonia vent streams to
scrubbers. The audit included review of the design, commissioning and modification
closeout process for the parts of this project that were operational.
A new boiler (Site Steam Upgrade project). This is largely installed but not
commissioned. The audit covered review of closeout of the design stage safety
studies only.
A replacement ammonia pipeline between the KI site and the wharf. This project has
experienced some delays due to issues arising during preparatory works. The audit
did not cover this project
2.6. Audit Approach
The audit involved site visits, discussions with a site personnel and a review of site and
corporate documentation.

3.3. Organisation and staffing
There are approximately 170 people based at KI. The number can fluctuate significantly
depending on contract personnel who may be employed for specific projects.
The site is operational 24 hours per day, 7 days per week with the gatehouse and control
rooms permanently manned.
Numerous contract tanker drivers from a number of logistics providers are inducted into
the site and have swipe card access.
At the time of the 2016 audit the majority of personnel reported through the
Manufacturing division with safety and environment personnel reporting independently
via the Safety, Health, Environment and Security (SHES) division.
The organisation chart in place at the time of the audit for these divisions is shown in
APPENDIX C.
3.4. Process overview
A simplified and brief summary of the process only is provided.
3.4.1. Ammonia Plant
The Ammonia Plant at Kooragang Island produces ammonia by:
Reforming natural gas with steam to produce synthesis gas (syngas; a mixture
of hydrogen (H2), water, carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2)) over
a nickel catalyst at around 30 barg.
The gas stream is then passed through a shift converter, where the CO is
converted to CO2 and H2.
The process gas is then fed to a CO2 removal process, using Methyl Diethyl
Amine (MDEA) solution re-boiler to adsorb CO2 followed by a catalysed
polishing step
The clean syngas, is compressed to around 60 barg, washed and fed to the
ammonia converters (catalysed reaction) which convert the syngas to ammonia.
Various purification, pressure reduction and chilling steps occur and the
ammonia discharging from the refrigeration system is send to atmospheric
pressure and pressurised tanks for storage.
3.4.2. Nitric Acid
There are three similar Nitric Acid plants:
Liquid ammonia from storage is evaporated using water, or steam, and
superheated to prevent any liquid carry over.
It is fed to a static mixer, used to produce a uniform ammonia-air mixture
Document: 21065-RP-001 Revision: 0 Revision Date: 11-Nov-2016 File name: 21065-RP-001 Rev 0 Page 30
The ammonia-air mixture is reacted in a catalysed ammonia converter, forming,
nitrous oxide, nitrogen and water and cooled.
The cooled gas stream is then directed to the Absorption Column where
additional air and water is required to drive the reactions to completion producing
nitric acid
the nitric acid, at a concentration between 55 and 65%, is pumped to the nitric
acid storage tanks.
3.4.3. Nitrates Plants
There are four essential steps in the production of ammonium nitrate (AN):
Neutralisation - nitric acid is neutralised with ammonia to produce a concentrated
solution of ammonium nitrate in an instantaneous exothermic reaction
Evaporation - water is evaporated from the solution to give a suitably high
concentration of solution for solidification or as a commercial product.
Prilling and drying or granulation - producing ammonium nitrate in a solid form;
Screening, cooling and coating - to give the commercial product.
AN is stored as bulk or bagged product before despatch.
3.5. Properties of materials being handled and processed
The major hazardous materials stored onsite are ammonia (toxic and flammable) and
ammonium nitrate solid and solution (strong oxidiser and potentially explosive). There
are also numerous other hazardous materials as detailed in the site dangerous goods
(DG) manifest and associated depot drawings. .
3.6. Security
At Orica KI, a site security plan is in place which includes:
personnel and vehicle access arrangements, including supervised access points
and electronic access systems;
security of overall boundary and buildings
security arrangements associated with the manufacture and storage of security
sensitive ammonium nitrate (SSAN) for specific areas within the overall secure
site
security monitoring and assurance.
This audit did not cover the security arrangements in detail.

The results are summarised in Table 4.1 below for each guideline. Broadly the KI site
already addresses the recommendations and guidance. Refer to audit checksheets in
APPENDIX D for additional details and actions and observations.

Comments
23. Industry guideline
compliance
(SAFEX)
Fully Implemented A review of the AN areas against the guidance in SAFEX
was carried out. The AN storage installations are consistent
with the design and operations guidance in SAFEX. The
QRA work carried out as part of the PHA/ FHA for the KI
expansion is also generally consistent with the SAFEX
QRA guidance.
24. AS4326 Compliance
Fully Implemented A review of compliance of the AN stores as completed
against Section 9 (which has specific requirements relating
to storage and handling of AN and ANS) of AS4326 (2008)
The storage and handling of oxidizing agents. For AN
stores these requirements are very similar to the SAFEX
guidance.
It is noted that the KI site AN stores exceed the maximum
storage quantities given in AS4362 (which then requires
regulatory consultation). QRA and MHF licence work has
been undertaken on basis of the actual KI AN inventories

and agreed by DPE and Safework hence regulatory
consultation requirement is regarded as satisfied.
25. CSB Investigation
into West Texas
(recommendations)
Mostly
Implemented
A review of the AN stores against the findings of the CSB
West Texas investigation was carried out. These deal
largely with separation of combustible materials from AN
storage and emergency response preparedness and
awareness of emergency responders. These areas are well
addressed at KI. A small number of items with respect to
the design basis of the fire protection systems and AN store
ventilation need to be clarified.

5. AUDIT OF SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
5.1. Overview
This part of the audit was to determine if Orica has implemented a comprehensive safety
management system for controlling the risk of potential safety and process safety
hazards at the KI site.
5.2. Integrated Management System, SHECMS
Orica’s corporate policies as outlined in the SHECMS overview and standards
demonstrate the company commitments to satisfying the stringent standards demanded
by the community and legislative forces, management are committed to managing risks
to the community, their workforce including contractors. These commitments are broadly
captured in Orica’s corporate safety policy which applies to all Orica facilities globally.
SHE issues at KI are managed through the implementation of the SHECMS which
contains the policies, organisational arrangements, corporate standards and procedures
required to support the on-going integrity of control measures required for safe and
environmentally compliant operation. Operational and maintenance procedures are
customised at the site level.
5.3. Findings
Details of the assessment against each element of the audit protocol is given in
APPENDIX D. A high level summary of the key findings for each element is presented
in the summary of the report in Table 1.1.
Each element has been assigned a rating using a traffic light system based on auditor
judgement after review of the available information as follows:
Category Description
Not Applicable Not relevant to site
Not reviewed in
audit
Is relevant but not reviewed (out of scope, covered by something else or
insufficient time)
Non-compliance Non-compliant with a regulatory instrument or condition of consent (may
be What is done or how it is done that is non-compliant)
Nothing in Place No framework or supporting examples
Being Developed A framework or high level guidance but few supporting examples
Mostly Implemented A framework or high level guidance with a number of supporting
examples. However some areas could be clarified or not consistent with
industry practices
Fully Implemented A framework or high level guidance with full supporting examples. May
still be some observations regarding additional clarity, best practice etc
Document: 21065-RP-001 Revision: 0 Revision Date: 11-Nov-2016 File name: 21065-RP-001 Rev 0 Page 37
Category Description
Exceptional (best
practice & share)
A framework and high level guidance with full supporting examples,
performance tracking and evidence of long term continuous improvement
, benchmarking
Overall, the management of safety issues at the KI site is considered by the auditors to
be adequately covered by the SHEC MS as implemented at site level.
No Non-compliances or Nothing in Place ratings were assigned. All elements were
assessed as Fully Implemented or Mostly Implemented.
As noted in the present audit, a strong safety culture is evident at KI and there is a
positive attitude at all levels that will foster on-going improvements in environmental and
process safety management.
Key findings organized against management system elements are presented in the
assessment summary in Table 1.2 in the summary section of this report, with the overall
list of actions for all elements provided in Section 7 of this report.

6. SITE HISTORY
6.1. Previous Studies
6.1.1. Closure of 2013 Hazard Audit actions
As noted under Item 26 of the audit protocol, closure of actions arising from the previous
2013 hazard audit is largely complete, however there were two items where insufficient
evidence was available to verify closure as per Table 6.1 and also three items where a
new recommendation was raised in relation to further progressing the closeout action
completed.

9. (2013 Hazard Audit Rec 7) Clarify the process for providing feedback
on completion of a job completed under a WO, ie if there is an issue
with completion of work confirm how is this captured and how any
patterns are identified over time.
10. (2013 Hazard Audit Rec 14) The installed pressure / flow capability
of the modified fire water system at the AN Bag store needs to be
confirmed to ensure that it meets the required design basis.
Confirmation the velocities in firewater piping do not exceed AS
requirements is also required
7. Develop implementation plan for improving HA compliance with gaps
identifies in HA inspection activities (which were completed Dec
2015) and verify progress in next Hazard Audit (2019)
8. Observation: (2013 Hazard Audit Rec 4) Fire pump test log results
are available in electronic form but not in pump house. If hard copy
local records are not preferred by Orica, it is suggested that
information be provided in the Pump house as to where to find the
records.
11. Confirm that the separation distance between the H2 cylinders and
the adjacent oxidising gas cylinders is adequate, for example meets
requirements in AS 4332 The storage and handling of gases in
cylinders
6.1.2. Other Studies
As noted under Item 27 of the audit protocol, closure of actions arising from hazard
studies associated with the staging of the AMI project and New Boiler Project are
complete as appropriate to the stage of the projects. Table 6.2 shows two
recommendations relating to closeout against actions in the site Fire Safety Study.

6.1.3. Closure of 2013 NSW DPE Audit actions
In June 2013, NSW DPE undertook a Compliance Audit of KI as part of the NSW
Potentially Hazardous Industries campaign. Orica advised that the site has been closing
the actions and showed correspondence to verify that it has been engaging with NSW
DPE.
6.2. Incident history
As per the relevant SMS system element, all incidents and near misses are reported
and entered into Enablon.
From a hazard viewpoint, the incidents in Table 6.3 were summarized from Enablon that
have occurred at KI since 2013 and had a potential safety impact of “serious” or “very
serious”. Note these incidents were localised and contained on site hence did not have
an actual impact outside the site. In most cases with the exception of the items
highlighted in yellow there was also no potential for offsite effects. In the case of the
ammonia incident other control measure failures would also need to occur for an offsite
effect to be experienced.

7. RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY
A total of 28 recommendations to further improve safety management at the KI site were
identified throughout the audit and have been summarised in Table 7.1.
These recommendations are divided into two categories:
1. Actions: These items relate to areas where compliance with a regulatory instrument
or Orica internal company standard could not be confirmed based on the evidence
available to the auditors. This included the system elements relating to Hazard
Identification and Risk Assessment, Management of Change (MOC) and compliance
with closeout of previous Hazard Audit actions.
2. Observations: recommendations have been provided that could enhance existing
systems or where a specific check is recommended for the next Hazard Audit in
2019 to confirm continuance of a system or programme. These items are labelled as
Observation in the recommendation summary.
Following submission of this audit report to DPE, Orica will enter the recommendations
and required completion dates into the Enablon tracking system (adopted Orica-wide)
to ensure actions are closed out and documented as such.
Table 7.1: 2016 Hazard Audit Recommendation Summary
Recommendations Audit Protocol
Place(s) Used
1. Observation: the available Safety policy at the time of the audit (Sept 2016) was signed in July 2013
by previous CEO (this is a corporate issue and can't be addressed at the KI site level). Noted that at
the time of the audit there was a review of the SHECMS being undertaken at corporate level so the
policy would most likely be updated as part of this). Check at next Hazard Audit (2019).
Requirements :
2.1.1
2. Confirm lightening protection is adequate for AN bulk store and AN bag store
Requirements :
23.1.4
3. Observation: The QRA (in FHA) appears to use the total inventory of the Bag Store (Table AV-5) in
the consequence assessment. Given the storage configuration with 8m between stacks there may
be scope to reduce this to a single stack basis in future revision of the QRA. Orica to review QRA AN
bag store basis when QRA update is next required
Requirements :
23.1.8
4. Observation: The wooden walkways between the disused building adjacent to the AN bulk store are
the only identified combustible building materials in the vicinity of the Bulk Store. Whilst ignition and
escalation are unlikely, removal is suggested which would eliminate all combustibles in the vicinity of
the Bulk Store.
Requirements :
23.1.4, 25.1.1
5. Confirm the design fire / suppression basis for the fire protection systems in the AN Bulk and Bag
Stores to ensure they are "adequate", eg meet relevant codes or control measure adequacy tests
adopted in MHF risk assessments.
Requirements :
25.1.1
6. Observation: It is not clear what "adequate" ventilation is for the AN storage buildings. It is suggested
that this be clarified ie is it to meet relevant codes or control measure adequacy tests adopted in MHF
risk assessments and whether provided systems achieve this
Requirements :
25.1.1
7. Develop implementation plan for improving HA compliance with gaps identifies in HA inspection
activities (which were completed Dec 2015) and verify progress in next Hazard Audit (2019)
Requirements :
12.1.11, 26.1.2

Recommendations Audit Protocol
Place(s) Used
8. Observation: (2013 Hazard Audit Rec 4) Fire pump test log results are available in electronic form
but not in pump house. If hard copy local records are not preferred by Orica, it is suggested that
information be provided in the Pump house as to where to find the records.
Requirements :
26.1.4
9. (2013 Hazard Audit Rec 7) Clarify the process for providing feedback on completion of a job
completed under a WO, ie if there is an issue with completion of work confirm how is this captured
and how any patterns are identified over time.
Requirements :
26.1.7
10. (2013 Hazard Audit Rec 14) The installed pressure / flow capability of the modified fire water system
at the AN Bag store needs to be confirmed to ensure that it meets the required design basis.
Confirmation the velocities in firewater piping do not exceed AS requirements is also required
Requirements :
26.1.14, 27.1.2
11. Confirm that the separation distance between the H2 cylinders and the adjacent oxidising gas
cylinders is adequate, for example meets requirements in AS 4332 The storage and handling of
gases in cylinders
Requirements :
26.1.15
12. Observation: Overall reduction in combustibles in vicinity of AN can only be achieved by removal of
wooden pallets and potentially change in AN bag material. It is suggested that Orica ensure that the
current project investigating use of non-combustible pallets / bags include a formal SFARP
demonstration that supports the project decision (as required under MHF regulations) and also that
project outcomes be checked in next Hazard Audit (2019)
Requirements :
23.1.4, 24.1.7
13. Observation: Orica has previously had in place Technical Panels to provide advice to the sites on
best practices for the various technologies (AN, ammonia). These are referred to in the SHEC MS
and the BoS. If this structure is changed, KI will need to update process for seeking technical advice
in various systems, for example Modifications. Check in next Hazard Audit (2019)
Requirements :
5.1.5, 7.1.2
14. Observation: The TWC system appears to be being phased out. It was unclear at time of the audit
if all compliance information had been migrated to Enablon. Check in next Hazard Audit (2019).
Requirements :
5.1.1
15. An overall risk profile for the KI site should be developed to allow identification of the highest site
risks, and also used to show risk reduction over time or effect of removal of safeguards. From a
hazard perspective this should cover risk with a safety consequence. (However it is noted that
SHECMS requires that each site maintain a record of their current hazards in a Major Hazard
Register, with Major Hazards definition covering Safety as well as Health, Environment, Community,
Business)
Requirements :
7.1.3
16. Develop a system for managing actions arising from hazard studies and risk assessments that
allows demonstration of progress to be shown. This should include:
- prioritisation of the actions in a timely manner as they arise out of studies such as periodic hazard
study 2 and 3. (Priority could be based on addressing non-compliance with regulations, magnitude
of potential risk reduction / effectiveness, ease of installation, cost etc similar to the SFARP process
for MHF)
- implementation schedule and associated resources that suit allocated priority.
A KPI could also be developed around completion rate or overdue high priority actions.
Requirements :
4.1.4, 7.1.5
17. Observation: The Nitrates area operating procedures include specific guidance and instructions for
responding to abnormal process situations, the NH3 plant doesn't although there is some coverage
in scenario based training. Orica to review whether the NH3 plant should adopt a similar approach
to developing procedures for response to abnormal situations as has been done in the Nitrates
areas. Check in next Hazard Audit (2019)
Requirements :
8.1.4

Recommendations Audit Protocol
Place(s) Used
18. Observation: The FSS has been updated (Feb 016) and provides a clear summary of firewater
demands however does not refer to the basis for these (for example an AS or NFPA, process dilution
rate or something else). The protection basis should be identified and included in the next FSS
revision
Requirements :
9.1.9
19. Observation: Labelling standard in new equipment was good. Some areas of older plant also good.
Check progress of equipment labelling project in next audit (2019)
Requirements :
12.1.12
20. Develop a formal process covering required response to Capstone pressure vessel failure criticality
ratings, and required documentation and authorisation / acceptance process for any deferrals of
inspection or maintenance.
Requirements :
12.1.3
21. Observation: Lockout isolation sheets appear to be developed as a list of valves / isolation points
on isolation sheet on a case by case basis. A potential improvement would be to have predefined
isolation plans for common isolations and also to attach the marked up PIDs to the isolation sheet
for all process isolations.
Requirements :
13.1.2
22. Observation: a potential improvement would be to add the Modification number to the WO
information in SAP so it also appears with the PTW and it is immediately clear the proposed work is
part of a modification.
Requirements :
13.1.2
23. Observation: The MHF Process HIRACs have identified some procedures as critical controls. It is
suggested that Orica determine a process for differentiating these from other procedures, eg
"critical" tag on document, different review frequency, specific observations, auditing or training
requirements. Check in next Hazard Audit (2019)
Requirements :
8.1.4
24. Observation: Organisational change assessment was not reviewed in 2016 audit. Ensure this is
covered in 2019 Hazard Audit
Requirements :
14.1.3
25. Observation: the quality of closeout of some hazard study actions associated with Mods was
variable. To monitor this it is suggested that some sample mods be selected periodically and a
detailed check of closeout action quality be carried out to identify any patterns and determine if
there the need for any actions such as refresher training.
Requirements :
14.1.11
26. Observation: It would be useful for KPI tracking for MHF purposes to include a Process Safety Event
(PSE) flag in Enablon. It is recognised that this would need to be done at a corporate level . Check
progress of PSE tracking at next Hazard Audit (2019)
Requirements :
15.1.1
27. Observation: Notes from emergency response exercise debriefs are available. However it is
suggested that any actions are formally prioritised and completion tracked (eg using Enablon)
Requirements :
17.1.4
28. Check progress on compliance with site firewater booster arrangements against AS2419 in next
Hazard Audit (2019)
Requirements :
27.1.1

MethodologyMethodology
Type: Hazard Audit
Scope: Kooragang Island FacliitiesThe audit covers: 1. A sample of areas from all KI operations and associated plant/equipment. AN stores, Ammonia Plant and AN2/NAP3 Plant used as example areas. 2. The focus was on the site and plant modifications since prevous Hazard Audit in 2013. This is primarily the collection of risk reduction projects refered to as the AMI Project. 3. The closeout of any actions arising from the 2013 Hazard Audit or other studies that may have occurred since 2013 4. The degree of implementation of recommendations from the CSB Texas West investigation report5. Consistency of site with industry good practice: ie the SAFEX guidelines for Storage of TGAN
Exclusions: 1. Environmental compliance requirements for the development consent conditions or environmental protection licence (EPL) conditions are excluded as this is covered by a separate Environment Audit. Any projects being undertaken as part of Pollution Reduction Programmes were not reviewed.
NOTE: The audit elements comprised review of Orica documents and verification via records and discussions with personnel available at the time of the audit.Due to the sampling nature of third party audits some issues, non-compliances or improvements might not have been identified in the audit. This does not imply that these issues do not exist, or are in compliance.
Objective: Complete independent hazard audit as specified in condition of consent:- Assess whether the project is complying with the hazards related approval conditions (Approval 08_0129 Schedule 3 cl 20))- Verify the integrity of safety systems and that the facility is being operated in accordance with its hazards-related conditions of consent (HIPAP 5) - Review the SMS required under Condition 3 of Schedule 3 (Approval 06-0089 Schedule 4 cl 4e))
Job is intended to: Satisfy NSW DPE condition of consent requirement to complete a three yearly Hazard Audit in accordance with HIPAP no 5
Job is not intended to: This is not an audit against Orica's corporate SHECMS, nor is it a certification audit against any management systems such as as ISO9001, ISO18001, or ISO14001.
Auditor Guidance: Interview Guidance:1. Check persons name and role2. Discuss their role, what they do on a day to day basis3. How long have they been there? 4. Do they have a job description, does it contain reference to SHE responsibilities?5. Are they aware of the safety / env policy ?6. What type of training have they done? On start of position and ongoing? What aspects of SHE did their training cover? Is there are summary of their training requirements (training matrix, job description etc) 7. Are they aware of the MHF process and were they involved? 8. What do they think the main hazards and risks on site are? What are the most important safeguards?9. Have they ever been involved in incident reporting / investigation? 10. What type of emergencies may occur on site, how do they know and what do they do if one occurs?11. Job specific questions - eg maintenance, mods, compliance, operations procedures etc

7. Hazard Identification and Risk Control
4.2 Standard 4 Hazard and Change Management is the relevant SHECMS element.Standard 9 Project Delivery is also relevant.There are many risk assessments of various types and methodologies for the KI site with a large amount of detail available at the individual hazard identification and risk scenario level in the Risk Registers. However, an overall KI site risk profile was not available so it was not possible to identify for example the highest risk on the KI site, or the effect of risk reduction measures completed to date (or control measures removed) on the overall site risk profile. In addition there are a very large number of open actions (more than 1000) arising from the periodic hazard study and Process HIRAC processes that have not been prioritised or resourced. Closure of some modifications associated with the AMI project is also overdue as residual risk Process HIRACs have not been migrated to the KI

AS4326 Compliance 06_0089 A review of compliance of the AN stores as completed against Section 9 (which has specific requirements relating to storage and handling of AN and ANS) of AS4326 (2008) The storage and handling of oxidizing agents. For AN stores these requirements are very similar to the SAFEX guidance. It is noted that the KI site AN stores exceed the maximum storage quantities given in AS4362 (which requires then regulatory consultation). QRA and MHF licence work has been undertaken on basis of the actual KI AN inventories and agreed by DPE and Safework hence regulatory consultation requirement is regarded as satisfied.

25. CSB Investigation into West Texas (recommendations)
06_0089 A review of the AN stores against the findings of the CSB West Texas investigation was carried out. These deal largely with separation of combustible materials from AN storage and emergency response preparedness and awareness of emergency responders. These areas are well addressed at KI. A small number of items with respect to the design basis of the fire protection systems and AN store ventilation need to be clarified.

1. There is a lot of detail available for individual scenarios in process HIRACs but no site-wide risk register which provides an overall site risk profile.
2. It was not possible at the time of the audit to generate a risk profile to determine which were currently the highest risks on site, for eaxmple an overall list of all "High" risks, or all Process Safety Risks with a consequence level of high (eg single fatality) or greater. A summary of MIs was available in the MHF Safety Case however this did not reflect some of the risk reduction work (such as AMI project) that has occurred.

KI2540 : B - PW-01 - Permit to Work
1. A new PTW module in SAP has been rolled out over 2015 and associated PTW procedure substantially updated. There is a PTW and associated specialist permits (Hot Work , Roof access, Confined Space, Excavation), two separate risk assessments - the JSERA and a Process Risk Assessment (PRA). These are separate forms that are linked to the Permit by the WO number. A new role (Permit receiver) was defined an checking requirement in field clearly defined. Training was conducted and all training and currency is recorded on Track Easy for Orica personnel and also any contractors who are authorised Permit Receivers
2. Active permit in control room and at job location
(hot work, confined spaces, excavation work, heavy equipment, lock out/ tag out, isolation)
Fully Implemented

KIW2512 PTW Isolation Requirements KI Specific Procedure
Example of Lock out Isolation Sheet - 2201 JAT oil leak repair
21. Observation: Lockout isolation sheets appear to be developed as a list of valves / isolation points on isolation sheet on a case by case basis. A potential improvement would be to have predefined isolation plans for common isolations and also to attach the marked up PIDs to the isolation sheet for all process isolations.
22. Observation: a potential improvement would be to add the Modification number to the WO information in SAP so it also appears with the PTW and it is immediately clear the proposed work is part of a modification.
1. A sample of permits was reviewed. These were filled in correctly. Isolation plans appear to be developed by Permit Issuer on a job by job basis. There is a KI site specific isolation standard that details standard of mechanical and electrical isolation required for particular hazards (as well as hydraulic, pneumatic energy sources)
2. Isolation sheets were in lock boxes with group lock number and lock board noted on them. Group lock number is noted on permit and green group lock attached to the lock board for each permit issued under that isolation. Not directly linked to permit - ie don't have WO on the isolation sheet as link but have lock board and lock number on permit. Isolations are developed on a job by job basis - not predefined, PIDs showing isolation points not attached. Isolation and locks checked in field against sheet and signed off on isolation sheet.
3. Did not check LOTO in field
4. If work is associated with a MOD, the WOs do not link to a MOD number. It is the Permit Issuers responsibility to consider whether the work is a modification and confirm that status is ACCEPTED.
Link between PTW, isolation plans, approval of Mods
Mostly Implemented
2. Check the PTW system / isolation against procedure

between the disused building adjacent to the AN bulk store are the only identified combustible building materials in the vicinity of the Bulk Store. Whilst ignition and escalation are unlikely, removal is suggested which would eliminate all combustibles in the vicinity of the Bulk Store.
12. Observation: Overall reduction in combustibles in vicinity of AN can only be achieved by removal of wooden pallets and potentially change in AN bag material. It is suggested that Orica ensure that the current project investigating use of non-combustible pallets / bags include a formal SFARP demonstration that supports the project decision (as required under MHF regulations) and also that project outcomes be checked in next Hazard Audit (2019)

4. Copper - controlled use at KI site, none in AN stores
5. Reactive ground not applicable at KI
Construction: - Storages should be built at appropriate distances from each other. Different classes of materials should be stored according to Dangerous Goods regulations and company policy. - Means of minimising confinement should be reviewed, including options of pressure relief where appropriate. - Any AN storage facility should not contain wood lining or an exposed wooden floor. In the case of freight containers wooden floors may be protected by sealing with mild steel, plastic sheet or a suitable coating such as polyurethane or epoxy paint. The coating option is not recommended if the seams are not tight and cannot be sealed properly as AN spillage can impregnate the wood resulting in a fire hazard. If the AN is stored in bags in the freight container, the bag will provide sufficient separation of the AN from the floor. - Galvanised steel should be protected from direct contact with TGAN (e.g. coat with epoxy tar or chlorinated rubber). - The use of exposed copper should be avoided, as copper is incompatible with TGAN. - Flooring should be constructed of non-combustible material (concrete, compacted road base, asphalt with low bitumen content 1

6. Observation: It is not clear what "adequate" ventilation is for the AN storage buildings. It is suggested that this be clarified ie is it to meet relevant codes or control measure adequacy tests adopted in MHF risk assessments and whether provided systems achieve this
1. Orica KI have undertaken a self audit against an internally developed summary (by Noel Hsu) of the CSB's West Texas recommendations and found that the AN storage areas are generally compliant, also that the recommendations relating to regulations, emergency response and training are already largely covered by the WHS and MHF regulatory requirements in NSW.
West Texas report deals with FGAN but TGAN has very siimlar properties and learnings regarded as applicable.
Recommendation R1 to R4 - deal with regulatory changes in US - not relevant in NSW as MHF, HIPAP planning hazard studies and associated ERP largely covers this
1. AN Bulk Store and Bag Store are non-combustible building materials except for small area of wooden walkway near Bulk Store
2. Automatic sprinkler systems are provided in parts of the Bulk Store (air conditioning unit, plenum and road tanker loadout)
3. Manually operated sprinklers provided in Bag Store
4. Air conditioning in AN Bulk Store and natural ventilation in Bag Store. "adequate" ventilation does not appear to be defined - thought to be worker comfort levels
5. Separation distances to any incompatibles are very large
6. The Site FSS summarises the available water for each of the sprinkler systems but does not identify the design fire / sizing case / confirm adequacy of the systems in the AN stores
Recommendation R5 and R6 deal with ensuring good engineering practices are followed including: - Non-combustible materials for buildings storing AN - Automatic sprinklers / fire protection systems- Define adequate ventilation for FGAN for indoor storage areas. - Require all FGAN storage areas to be isolated from the storage of combustible, flammable, and other contaminating materials. - Establish separation distances between FGAN storage areas and other hazardous chemicals, processes, and facility boundaries.

1. (2013 Hazard Audit Rec 1) A review of the recommendations from the previous audit and other hazard studies identified that it was recommended to review the potential to use less hazardous biocide than the current chlorine system. The investigation identified that due to the quantity of biocide required, chlorine was the only effective material. Hence, to reduce the risks associated with the use of chlorine, a “Chlorguard” system will be installed. This has been approved but not yet installed. Hence, it is recommended that the installation of the “Chlorguard” system be reviewed at the next audit (2016).

9. (2013 Hazard Audit Rec 7) Clarify the process for providing feedback on completion of a job completed under a WO, ie if there is an issue with completion of work confirm how is this captured and how any patterns are identified over time.
1. There does not appear to be a signoff or feedback component to completing a WO.
2. The responsible engineer will “teco” the WO in SAP to close it off and indicate that it is complete . The date in which this happens is the only sign in SAP that the WO is complete and there is not detail of work completed.

7. (2013 Hazard Audit Rec 7) It was identified that the current work order forms do not have a formal area for feedback from personnel conducting the required work order actions. Currently any comments or feedback is being written on the back of the work order or in empty spaces between the lines. It is recommended that the work order forms be reviewed to determine whether it is possible to include a section for feedback and signature from the maintenance team so that any issues may be raised and recorded within the SAP system. It is also recommended that the maintenance team “sign” the completed works so that the planners/schedulers can be confident that the work is completed. This will provide valuable information on equipment history and assist ongoing maintenance to be as effective as possible.
1. Maintenance Manager advised that all equipment has now been migrated to SAP.
2. The auditor reviewed various items in SAP for the AN plants, NH3 areas and miscellaneous items such as fire systems. All plant areas and types of equipment (vessels, instrumentation, pumps, tanks, valves, relief systems, flares, hoses etc) appear to be in SAP.

Whilst the JSERA is provided with a multiple sign-on facility, the PTW form does not have sufficient space, hence, multiple sign-on is performed by using the back of the form. It is therefore recommended that the PTW form be reviewed for the inclusion of a formal sign-on section for all personnel.
PTW #60054603 AN2 plant ( Pneu Inst Air Clean)
1. A new PTW module in SAP has been rolled out over 2015. There are now two separate risk assessments - the JSERA and a Process Risk Assessment (PRA). These are separate forms that are linked to the Permit by the WO number. The PRA and the JSERA both display the risk matrix.

14. (2013 Hazard Audit Rec 14) The AN Bag Store Zone 4 fire water demand currently exceeds the existing fire water system supply capability (in terms of available pressure and flow) as determined from the hydraulic modeling. Wormald’s have recommended two possible solutions for this situation for Orica to consider and resolve. A review of the options to address this issue shall be undertaken, dependent upon the timing of the demolition of the bag warehouse. It is recommended that Orica review the implementation timeframe as the demolition of the warehouse has been delayed. The final action for this FSS recommendation should be reviewed at the next audit

A review of the progress of this recommendation indicated that a plant modification request had been raised and that the project is currently progressing through the change management process. It is therefore recommended that this action be reviewed at the next audit (2016) to confirm completion
1. No leaks were observed in AN2/NAP3 and general site walkaround. Bunds were clean and tidy
2. NAP1 starting up and very noisy didn't visit the area
3. Leaking valve observed in ammonia plant near flash drums - Ammonia was being absrbed by water from hose. Confirmed that this is included in scope of 2017 Shutdown work WO 60013340
4. Enablon incidents and WO summaries reviewed - very few leak issues identified (around 10 minor leaks in total since 2014)
Fully Implemented
16. 2009 Recommendation 1 - 2013 Hazard Audit Further recommendation:All leaks are reported and managed in the Maintenance Management System (MMS). Repairs are prioritised, based on personnel safety & environmental impact (ground, stormwater, effluent) followed by recovery & reclaim The ammonia & nitric acid systems were visited during the 2013 audit with leaks observed to have been addressed. The inclusion of leak reporting and repair appears to be successful. It is recommended that a further site inspection during the 2016 audit should be undertaken, to ensure the MMS continues to be successful.
