This gives effect to the COAG agreement. Further information:
Security PlansIf you are currently storing, transporting or using ammonium nitrate you should already have security arrangements in place. You are now required to document these using either the templates supplied or your company documents (provided they address the issues outlined in the templates) and submit them to NT WorkSafe as part of the new licensing requirements. The series of information bulletins 04.07 Security Sensitive Substances detail the minimum requirements for security plans, but every company should consider its own individual circumstances when creating a security plan.
