What record must be maintained in relation to the hot work according to SHMS?

In the context of Queensland Mining Law and the Safety and Health Management System (SHMS), maintaining a record of hot work performed is crucial. This record serves to document all hot work activities, such as welding, cutting, or grinding, which are associated with an increased risk of fire or explosion in mining operations.

By keeping a thorough record of hot work performed, mining operators can ensure compliance with safety regulations, monitor potential hazards, and implement necessary controls to mitigate risks. This documentation can also support incident investigations, enhance communication about safety practices, and ensure that all safety protocols were followed during the execution of hot work tasks.

While the other options involve important aspects of safety management, they do not specifically address the critical need to track and manage the risks associated with hot work through detailed records, which is why the maintenance of a record of hot work performed is the correct focus for compliance with SHMS requirements.
