Mobile Equipment Fire Management Project Report 2018-2023
EMESRT first turned its attention to mobile equipment fires in 2007, when it published an initial Design Philosophy (DP-4) focussing on fire. DP-4 is a high-level overview of problems that can lead to adverse consequences from mobile equipment fire events. Its purpose is to provide an understanding of the problems through succinct written examples with visual scenario information to assist Original Equipment Manufacturers in designing equipment to reduce the risks of potential unwanted equipment fire events. This project is an extension of the original work carried out in developing DP-4.
The content of this report has been collated from the project journey. It summarises how the industry can come together to tackle difficult industry issues.

Performance Requirement PR-4 - Mobile Equipment Fires Management
Despite ongoing improvements, hazards still create exposure for mobile equipment fires in both surface and underground mining if not well controlled through adequate designs and management practices.
Following an extensive industry consultative process, involving mining company representatives, original equipment manufacturers, regulators, fire detection and suppression system providers, fire system designers, academics and researchers, EMESRT, launched Performance Requirement 4 – Mobile Equipment Fires Management in December 2021.
The objective of Performance Requirement 4 (PR-4) is to provide structured and comprehensive information that can be applied by:
- Designers and Original Equipment Manufacturers
- Mining companies – Mobile Equipment Users
- Suppliers of fire detection and suppression systems to reduce the number and consequences of mobile equipment fires in earth moving equipment
The EMESRT Advisory Group hope the industry finds PR-4 useful.

Performance Requirement PR-5A
First released in 2015, in consultation with industry, PR-5A Vehicle Interaction Systems was developed to establish an interoperability guideline to enable the development of standard protocols for interdependent technologies fitted on surface and underground mobile equipment to reduce the exposure to hazardous vehicle interaction. PR-5A is based on levels 7, 8 and 9 of the EMESRT 9-step hierarchical type model based around design, operate and react, see figure below.
The objective is to prevent a person or equipment (machine or vehicle) causing a potential unwanted event (PUE) in the following four PUE categories resulting in injury or equipment damage (equipment to person, equipment to equipment, equipment to environment, loss of control of equipment).
