Satisfy your buyers and your safety obligations 

Peace of mind for you and your customers.

When dealing in machinery, making sure you’re meeting your legal obligations when selling new or used equipment is critical. The financial cost for breaches can be devastating – not to mention the potentially fatal consequences.

But with different acts, regulations, standards and codes to consider, and with legislation frequently changing - ensuring you’re meeting your obligations can be time consuming, costly and complicated. 

Whether you import, manufacture, modify or sell machinery, use Plant Assessor to ensure machinery is up to Australian Standards, and that you're providing all necessary safety information to your buyers.

Your obligations

Suppliers of new machines must provide proof that all reasonably practical hazards have been identified, alterations or modifications are clearly stated and adequate information is provided regarding the safe use of the machine. 

When selling second-hand plant, you must also give written notice to the purchaser, that outlines: 

 The condition of the plant,
including identified faults 

 If appropriate, that the plant should not
be used until the faults are rectified 

Second-hand plant is more likely to have out-dated or missing safety features. In these circumstances suppliers of second-hand plant must do what is reasonably practicable to supply equipment safe for use at work.
