State Government Resources Safety Bill is progress on strengthening safety
Janette Hewson, Queensland Resources Council Chief Executive Officer
The health, safety and wellbeing of all workers in the Queensland resources sector is always industry’s top priority.
The Queensland Resources Council (QRC) supports the intent and direction of the Resources Safety and Health Queensland Amendment Bill delivered by the Queensland Government.
QRC welcomes the Bill’s focus on strengthening governance and accountability with the establishment of the Resources Safety and Health Queensland (RSHQ) Board.
These reforms respond to the Johnston Review and represent an important first step towards a modern, well‑functioning regulator and improving confidence in Queensland’s resources safety framework.
QRC will work closely with the Board and RSHQ to drive practical delivery improvements and a strong risk-based regulatory framework.
