NSW Resources Regulator publishes safety report for last quarter of 2024

The New South Wales Resources Regulator has issued its Quarterly Safety Report covering the period from October to December 2024.

The Regulator says this report serves to inform the industry more effectively when assessing safety management systems and executing risk assessments at their respective sites. It includes information on incidents and trends in hazard management, in addition to details relevant to specific sectors.

“As a high-hazard regulator, we focus on compliance with legislative requirements associated with principal and other high-risk hazards. ‘Roads or other vehicle operating areas’, ‘fires or explosion’ and ‘air quality or dust and other airborne contaminants’ are hazards that feature regularly in incident notifications to the Regulator,” the regulator said.

The report indicates that during this quarter, a total of 551 incident notifications were received, reflecting a 6% decline compared to the previous quarter and a 4% reduction relative to the same period in FY 2024.
