The Mining Safety and Health Directorate of Queensland has established an industry steering group to examine post-blast fume events and develop steps to further minimise risk to workers.
The steering group will develop new shot-firing guidelines to minimise gas fume events during blasting operations in Queensland coal mines.
Employment, Skills and Mining Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said the concerns raised after recent incidents at BMA's Saraji and Peak Downs mines had prompted the creation of the steering group. grinding mill machine
