Abstract
Botanical Resources Australia Pty Ltd (BRA) has pyrethrum manufacturing activities located at its Ulverstone Site.
The manufacturing process contains many hazards, some of which are relatively unique to the pyrethrum process.
BRA has recently invested in new technology and solutions to manage these hazards.
Two recent examples of engineered hazard management are the Pellet Line No.2, commissioned in 2010 and Extraction Plant No.2, due for completion in late 2011. The work done by BRA to reduce exposure and risk to its operational personnel has delivered outstanding outcomes to not only safety, but also production efficiency and product quality.
BRA has received peer group recognition for this work via winning the 2010 WorkCover Tasmania Safety Award and the 2011 Engineers Australia (Tasmanian Division) Engineering Excellence Award.
