Among several specific safety and health initiatives, the Bureau of Mining and Petroleum has recently introduced new explosives regulations, undertaken a simulated mine emergency exercise, and co-hosted the annual Mining Safety and Health Conference in Townsville. Safety and health regulation of the Queensland mining industry is one of the most important areas administered by the Bureau. The Mines Inspectorate of the Bureau provide very important services to Queensland mines and the community in ensuring the safety and health of Queenslanders in relation to mining activities. This year Queensland achieved its best-ever mine safety and health performance. The lost time injury frequency rate in 2002-03 was an all time low of 6.2 lost time injuries per million hours worked. This represents a 25 per cent improvement from the previous year. The number of lost time accidents also fell, with a 20 per cent improvement achieved during 2002-03. Other major areas recorded improvements, and these figures represent results that have never been achieved before in this state. The excellent performance of the Queensland mining industry is attributed to its commitment to complying with the safety and health legislation of this state. These results will be published in detail with the release of the Queensland Mines and Quarries Safety Performance and Health Report 2002-03, scheduled for late September this year.
