Upcoming Dates

With the introduction of the Work Health Safety Act (2020) and the Work Health Safety (Mines) Regulations 2022, all Mining Operations are required to have a working Mine Safety Management System (MSMS), and within that system clearly defined duty holders within statutory positions; the Statutory Supervisor is one of those positions.

Under the WHS (Mines) regulations (Schedule 26. cl 3(1)), the following areas at a mine must be supervised by a Statutory Supervisor:

• laboratory
• processing plant
• quarry
• workshop
• each place where the mine operator for the mine considers it necessary to have a statutory supervisor to reduce the risks to health and safety associated with mining operations carried out at the mine.

This means that each of the above locations requires a suitably qualified and competent appointed Statutory Supervisor to be present where work is taking place. For more information visit the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety website.
