Metalliferous assessment reports

The Resources Regulator has developed assessment tools to proactively develop the Regulator’s incident prevention strategy for health and safety compliance across the NSW resources industry.

The Regulator’s planned assessment programs focus on assessing a mine operator's management of the critical controls to prevent material unwanted events (MUE) and evaluate the effectiveness of critical controls in the mine operator’s health and safety management system.
