Vehicle Hazard Management Plan auditing & engineering
Reduce vehicle interaction risks and stay compliant
Expert ROVOA audits and engineering solutions for NSW mines.
Vehicle interactions are a major cause of WHS incidents in surface mining. The NSW Resources Regulator’s Technical Reference Guide (TRG) for Roads or Other Vehicle Operating Areas (ROVOA) guide sets the standard for safety. Advitech helps you meet that standard, fast, efficiently, and with expert engineering support.
What You Need to Know About the ROVOA TRG
The TRG sets out a four-step model to reduce vehicle hazards. It creates a common language for mines and quarries across NSW. This approach makes it easier to identify risks and apply effective controls.
ROVOA auditing & engineering services for NSW Mines
We work with your team to measure current practices against the TRG. Then we help you close the gaps. Our expertise in design, risk, compliance, and technology engineering ensures you prioritise actions and achieve compliance quickly and efficiently.
We provide end-to-end support for implementing the ROVOA TRG framework:
- Baseline assessments against TRG framework
We help you to understand your current controls and review your site against the TRG maturity framework (Steps 1 and 2). - Risk assessment facilitation
We can facilitate risk assessments to identifying additional control measures and strengthen your vehicle hazard management plan. - Engineering design & implementation
We can support with the design, procurement and installation of any relevant engineering controls and monitoring systems required for your site. - Documentation & compliance
Prepare and maintain your ROVOA Principal Hazard Management Plan (PHMP) to meet NSW regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
The TRG is a framework released by the NSW Resources Regulator to help mines and quarries manage vehicle interaction hazards. It sets out a four-step model for identifying risks and applying effective controls.
The TRG model includes:
- Baseline assessment – Understand your current controls
- Risk identification – Highlight hazards and gaps
- Control implementation – Apply engineering and administrative measures
- Ongoing review – Maintain compliance and improve safety
Vehicle interactions are one of the leading causes of Work Health and Safety (WHS) incidents in surface mining operations. Managing these risks reduces the chance of serious accidents and keeps your workforce safe.
Any NSW mine or quarry operating roads or vehicle areas must have a ROVA PHMP in place to comply with the Resources Regulator’s requirements.
