A significant component of the reforms within the Resources Safety and Health Legislation Amendment Act 2024, is the introduction of critical controls—measures targeting serious risks on mine sites. While these controls have previously been applied voluntarily across the industry, the new legislation mandates their integration into the safety and health management systems of all mines and quarries.
These provisions will take effect on 1 June 2025, with industry given until 1 June 2026 to achieve full compliance.
This session will provide participants with:
• An overview of the legislative changes
• Insight into the regulator’s approach to compliance monitoring
• Perspectives from industry representatives on implementing critical controls in practice
