Looking at buying plant?
Try to get as much detail as possible about the plant you are purchasing.
If you are about to purchase a piece of plant you should consider the following:
Step 1 - Does it require a plant design registration?
- Check to see if the plant requires plant design registration.
- If it is a newly designed plant, an application for registration of registrable plant design must be submitted to Workplace Health and Safety Queensland.
- If the plant design registration has been previously submitted and a design registration number issued, the design registration number is clearly marked on the piece of plant.
- Have modifications been made to the plant design since its registration. If yes, a design registration needs to be resubmitted.
Step 2 - Does the plant require registration
- Check to make sure whether or not the plant needs to be registered. View list of plant types requiring registration.
Step 3 - If yes, you will need to check:
- Has it been registered by the previous owner? What is the plant registration number?
- If plant ownership changes, whoever holds the Certificate of registration for registrable plant must notify the Department.
- The new owner will then be required to register the plant they have just purchased.
- An application for registration must be submitted before the plant can be used at a workplace.
