Line Marking Kwinana WA

A chemical processing facility in Kwinana asked us to mark their hazardous area exclusion zones to AS/NZS standards. We marked the exclusion zone boundaries at 75mm line width — within the AS/NZS range and consistent with our standard practice for industrial exclusion zones. The facility's own safety specification required 100mm minimum for all hazardous area demarcation. Technically both are compliant with the national standard. Their internal spec was more stringent.

We stripped and remarked the exclusion zone boundaries at 100mm at our cost. Not a large job, but a reminder that Kwinana's heavy industrial facilities often carry internal safety specifications that exceed the national standard. The national standard is the minimum. Their documented safety management system sets the actual requirement. We now ask for the client's internal safety specification document on every Kwinana hazardous area quote — before we agree any line widths.

Kwinana is Australia's most heavily concentrated industrial precinct — BP refinery, Wesfarmers chemicals, CSBP fertilisers, Alcoa, and dozens of industrial support businesses clustered between the freeway and Cockburn Sound. Hazardous area marking here is serious compliance work. The client's internal safety management system typically specifies requirements well beyond the national baseline. Reading that document is part of the job.

Main Roads WA approved. We've been completing Kwinana industrial and hazardous area marking since 2009. Internal safety specification review is mandatory on every Kwinana hazardous area quote.
