MEU determined to bring workers’ voices to Resources Safety and Health Queensland review

Mining and Energy Union Queensland District < 1 min read

The Mining and Energy Union acknowledges the announcement of a review into Queensland’s resources safety framework, and we will be engaging strongly to ensure workers’ voices are front and centre throughout the process.

We look forward to hearing from the Minister and anticipate a meaningful opportunity to contribute. We will be ensuring that the everyday experiences of members help shape the future of safety regulation in Queensland.

Queensland mine safety reforms undermine independence, not strengthen it

The Mining and Energy Union (MEU) says the Queensland Government’s proposed changes to Resources Safety and Health Queensland (RSHQ) will weaken, not strengthen, the independence of the state’s mine safety watchdog.
