Safety and Environment Management Plan

As part of the Port Management Act 1995, all Victorian port managers are responsible for preparing and certifying a Safety and Environment Management Plan (SEMP).

These plans help port managers, tenants, licensees and services providers to identify and manage potential hazards and risks that may affect a port and its surrounding areas.

The SEMP addresses the:

  • safety of people working within or visiting the port precinct
  • minimisation of disruption to port operations and the community
  • compliance with legislation, regulations and guidelines

Facilities and operations within a port will have their own Emergency Management Plans and their own responses to emergencies. These plans are supported by the port’s SEMP as developed by VRCA.
