In response to the newly introduced Resources Safety and Health Legislation Amendment Bill 2024 in Queensland, Orana Skills Centre is proud to offer comprehensive services specialising in critical control management. This legislative amendment emphasises the importance of integrating critical controls into the safety and health management systems (SHMSs) for coal mines, metalliferous mines, and quarries. These critical controls are designed to address the most serious risks, ensuring a safer working environment within the resources sector.

The Resources Safety and Health Legislation Amendment Bill 2024 aims to:

• Emphasise Critical Controls: Focus on implementing controls that mitigate the most serious risks, known as critical controls.

• Incorporate Critical Controls into SHMSs: Mandate the integration of these controls into the safety and health management systems for coal mines, metalliferous mines, and quarries.
