Ports safety and environment management plans

Since 2005 the Port Safety and Environment Management Plans (SEMPs) have been an important component in promoting best practice safety and environmental performance across all aspects of Victoria's port activities.

The purpose of the Guidelines is to assist individual port managers in developing detailed plans for their particular ports.

The management plans will clearly identify the roles and responsibilities of the various parties involved and will assist port managers to identify, assess and respond to hazards and risks in a coordinated, effective and practical way.
