Allegations raised over incident reporting and termination

The Resources Regulator has published an investigation information release after receiving a complaint from a former worker alleging that in May 2025, they were involved in a near-miss incident involving 2 trucks. 

The worker alleges that after reporting the incident, the incident was disregarded during a subsequent safety meeting and internal discussions. Following the incident, the worker experienced anxiety, sleep disturbances, and increasing discomfort at work. 

The worker, who was on probation, alleges they were terminated without explanation. The Regulator has commenced an investigation into several allegations including but not limited to: 

• the provision of a safe workplace, limited supervision and appropriate monitoring of psychosocial health following a near-miss incident 

• the effectiveness of the mine’s psychosocial risk assessment in identifying and applying controls.
