The “new” WHS Mining Regulations are creating some consternation particularly in respect of the management of contractor safety. However, the picture is not so very bleak, and the regulations are a good news story, if you understand what they actually require. I am speaking at the “Contractor Management under WA’s new Work Health and Safety (WHS) Laws” forum being held by The Association of Mining and Exploration Companies (AMEC) and The Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia (CME) on 13 Feb 2023. This will be a great opportunity to put some misunderstandings to rest and help the mining industry improve the safety and safety management of contractors. Can’t wait.
