NSW Resources regulator releases quarterly safety report

The NSW Resources regulator has published its safety report for the last quarter of 2022 to help the industry comply with OHS regulations.

The report reveals that no fatal incidents occurred in the NSW mining industry for the quarter of October to December 2022; however, safety incident notifications increased by 11% compared to the previous quarter.

The NSW Resources Regulator said, “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 dusts and other airborne contaminants’ are hazards that feature regularly in incident notifications to the Regulator.”
