From 1 July 2007 all contractors in
NSW are required by law to have a Contractor Safety and Health
Management program. It will
also be a requirement from all of the major mining companies
that contractors health and safety programs meet an acceptable
standard.
As a result of this the Jim Knowles Group
and Mine Resilience Australia P/L have developed the content
th May of a on-line training course with the support of the
NSW Minerals Council, Coal Services Health and Safety Trust,
Australian Institute of Quarrying Education Foundation and
the University of Newcastle.
Major mining companies in Australia including
Centennial, Xstrata, Anglo, BHP, Hansons and Rocla have given
their support to this project.
