The Resources Regulator has accepted a work health and safety (WHS) enforceable undertaking from Cobar Management Pty Ltd (CMPL) in relation to a series of serious incidents that occurred at its CSA mine.
- The incident, where no-one was physically injured, involved workers being exposed to psychosocial hazards at the mine, and in failing to eliminate the risk, exposed 2 workers to a risk of serious injury or death.
- An investigation resulted in prosecution proceedings being commenced against CMPL in the Industrial Court on 4 October 2023 for alleged contraventions of Section 19 of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011.
- CMPL submitted a proposal for a WHS undertaking on 18 December 2024, which has been accepted by the Regulator that includes:
- funding projects for the benefit of workers, the industry and local community in the total sum of $1,031,060
- paying the Regulator $176,060 for investigation costs and professional fees.
