7 MAINTENANCE STRATEGY
7.1 Mine Operator Maintenance Strategy
A set of preventative maintenance work instructions should be developed on site from the
information in this section and using the Mine Operator’s Work Instruction template and containing
the appropriate safety (eg PPE) and job hazard analysis (or equivalent) information.
It is recommended that all Minetec equipment is checked and maintained under the existing site
preventative maintenance program.
Personal Nodes and Personal Node Charging Docks should be checked and cleaned on a regular basis.
For expediency, align maintenance and care checks with existing preventative maintenance
schedules.
In any case perform the maintenance checks at intervals as indicated in Table 14 Maintenance
Schedule on page 49.
All preventative maintenance activities to be conducted in accordance with industry best practice,
such that the condition of the equipment and performance of the system does not degrade other
than as can reasonably be accounted for through normal age, wear and tear.
If any device is deemed not fit-for-purpose and if required, implement the site 'lock out,
tag out' program. Replace any faulty devices per site operational and HSE procedures.
7.2 Maintenance and Network Management Services
Minetec can provide Maintenance and Network Management Services as part of a formal
Operational Support Plan with four support tiers and four priority levels.
This Support Plan and its associated services uses some principles from the ITIL® service management
framework. ITIL® is an internationally recognised framework that is widely adopted. ITIL® focuses on
service delivery and continuously improvement of IT systems to meet business needs. Specifically
the Support Plan methodology considers the volumes of 'Service Transition' aims, 'Service Operation'
aims and 'Continual Service Improvement' of ITIL® in the design and delivery of the services listed in
this Support Plan.

7.3 Maintenance Work Instructions
The guidelines in this document are generic and should be used as a basis to develop site-specific
work instructions aligned with the Site Operators HSE policy and procedures including consideration
of, but not limited to, the following:
• Maintenance programs (preventative/corrective job plans, technical instructions or similar).
• Hazard identification and risk analysis (eg Job Safety Analysis/Job hazard analysis).
• Coordination with other work (operations or maintenance).
• Lock-out/Tag out system.
All maintenance to be performed under prevailing site operational and HSE
procedures.
