Breaching the mining fatalities plateau: Financial pressure, operational instability, and the case for flow-based safety
Between 2003 and 2013, the Australian mining fatality rates fell by about 80%, but thereafter, in the past decade, they have remained at the same level of approximately seven fatalities per year despite significant investment in safety systems. In Queensland, the Brady Review (2020) revealed a…
