Compliance Confidence Before Production

Ahead of production, an Australian mining company asked Mines Rescue Consulting to review its safety management system against more than 300 legislative requirements.

The result?

Clear compliance insights, actionable recommendations, and a data-driven plan to address the most critical gaps.

Situation

The mine had developed most of its safety management system and required a detailed review of its compliance with mining legislation.
Drawing on extensive experience conducting legal audits in NSW, QLD and WA, Mines Rescue Consulting developed a comprehensive assessment tool based on applicable legislation, guidance and industry standards.
Challenge

Mines Rescue Consulting was engaged to:

  • Develop tailored assessment criteria
  • Conduct a full review of the safety management system
  • Present outcomes to senior management
  • Provide a detailed final report with findings and recommendations

Outcome

The assessment measured the mine against more than 300 applicable requirements, providing clear findings and actionable recommendations for each.
This gave the client a precise view of compliance, enabling them to focus on areas of the system most in need of development or revision.

Results

The assessment results were categorised to enable statistical analysis, including compliance percentages and the categories with the highest number of non-compliant findings.
This data-driven approach gave the mine a clear compliance snapshot and a prioritised pathway for improvement.
