Introduction to Safety Management Workshop
All mine sites in NSW have a legal obligation to have developed and implemented a Safety Management Plan. A guide to help prepare safety management plans for quarrying and extractive mining industries has been published by the NSW Department of Primary Industries, namely the Small Mines Safety Management Kit. The kit is a two-part guide that gives information about programs that may make up a mine safety management plan and ‘do-it-yourself’ templates that form the basis of such a plan. The Institute of Quarrying Australia, in conjunction with NSW DPI, has arranged for a series of workshops to be conducted to facilitate the process of utilising the kit. Each workshop will be presented by officers from NSW DPI and the Institute, and will assist production managers, mine workers, supervisors, maintenance people and plant operators begin development of mine safety management plans for their site. If you do not already have a Safety Management Plan in place or would like help in improving your existing plan, you are strongly encouraged to attend the workshop as your first step in meeting your legal obligations.
