Timber preservation plants - Plant design
Sets out specifications for the siting, design and layout of timber preservation plants, and improved practice options for existing plants, in order to promote their safe operation and reduce environmental and occupational hazards. It incorporates information on the contents of the Australian environmental guidelines for copper chrome arsenate timber preservation plants, which was prepared by the Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council (ANZECC) and the Timber Preservers Association of Australia (TPAA). Appendices provide lists of some regulatory authorities currently involved in some aspects of timber preservation and an example of a compliance timetable for the assessment and management of contaminated sites.
