This website is being set up to provide information setting out information that will hope to educate Queensland Coal Mine Workers and the General Public in how the Industry in Queensland has reached a point of such appalling oversight.

Firstly, I extend my sympathies to the Mineworkers at Grosvenor and their families for what they have gone through again. No coal mine worker and their family should ever be exposed to such an unacceptable level of risk once, let…

Ex DNRM Director General who handed every exploration lease and mining lease in Qld between 2013 and 2020 gets a fair mention in the article.
Santos’s Rick Wilkinson (whom later moved across to industry group, the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association - APPEA) and Santos’ James Purtill (whom has now returned to Queensland Government – as director general of the Department of Natural Resources and Mines (DNRM) – from where he came) were invited guests of Treasurer Andrew Fraser at the government box at the stadium on 14 May 2010, i.e. two days after the "constitutional innovation" email. The Queensland Law Society President was also invited.

https://www.couriermail.com.au/.../4d95861735a5824934e9f5... Resources Safety and Health Queensland has also called out supervisor competencies in a Mine Record Entry that lists a number of major safety issues at Dysart’s Saraji mine, and comes the same month mine inspectors suspended haul truck operations at Peak Downs mine.
Among those is a “fatal hazard” linked to working near bodies of water which comes 4.5 years after Gracemere father Allan Houston drowned in a pool of mud and water at the site after the dozer he was operating at the mine rolled 18m down an embankment on December 31, 2018

He claims labour hire workers ignore safety issues for fear of repercussions from their employer.
“We’ll see regular hazards (and) some have the potential to kill personnel (but) everyone will look at each other (thinking), well, who’s going to bring it up?” Mr Allen said.
“You’ll watch people bring up issues … then you’ll watch (as) their career progression goes nowhere.
A Bowen Basin miner claims amendments to close the labour hire loophole currently being debated in Canberra could save lives across the mining industry.
Another directive was in relation to the “competencies of supervisors” at the mine.
“The directive is specifically for checking records of persons at the mine appointed as supervisors and OCEs (open cut examiners) are current, authentic, valid and sufficient for their appointment,” the MRE states.
The SSE was also given a directive to review the mine’s safety and health management system “to address the deficiencies in supervision at Saraji Mine”, and develop an action plan to address “root cause or contributing factors involving less than adequate supervision, this includes statutory appointed persons at the site”.
The SSE must also review the SHMS for emergency equipment, condition, location, capability and inspection regime after essential emergency response recovery equipment including slings and soft shackles were found to be unfit for use.
The mine safety watchdog has cracked down on another of global mine giant BHPs major open cut operations, suspending operations for working near bodies of water after a fatal hazard was identified more than four years after a dozer driver drowned in a pool of mud and water.
The situation at Peak Downs has finally hit the media. Most operations have been suspended for 5 days now with no overburden or coal being mined and transported and the washplant has been shut down. The Peak Downs coking coal…
