Queensland’s Commissioner for Resources Safety and Health has unveiled a suite of five-year strategic plans aimed at significantly improving health, safety and wellbeing across the state’s resources sector.
The plans set out concrete goals and actions to guide their work between 2025 and 2030.
Key target areas include improved regulatory oversight, deeper stakeholder engagement, and enhanced support for the wellbeing, health and safety of workers.
The advisory committees’ plans set out industry-wide ambitions including championing best practice in coal mining and promoting harm-free mining operations more broadly.
Key milestones have been set within the new strategic plan and ensures that key actions and deliverables provide “contemporary, relevant, evidence-based” safety strategies that will have a genuine impact on the safety of coal mine workers across the state.
The launch marks an important milestone for Queensland’s resources sector. As the industry continues to evolve, the new strategic framework provides a clear, long-term roadmap to ensure that worker safety, health and wellbeing remain front and centre.
These future plans are built on five key values -tripartite collaboration, respect, transparency, continuous improvement and simplicity.
