RSHQ is a risk-based, data-driven regulator. Our vision is for a zero-serious-harm resource sector in Queensland.

Our focus is the safety & health of workers in Queensland’s mines, quarries, explosives & petroleum & gas industries.

The HEART5 truck is coming to Biloela from 30 November to 1 December.

Eligible former Queensland mine and quarry workers can call 1300 445 715 to book a free lung check.

Workplace exposure to dust and airborne contaminants can affect miners’ health long after they leave the industry.

The Former Worker Program provides free lung checks to detect mine dust lung diseases early.

Safe work is for life. Find out if you're eligible at www.rshq.qld.gov.au/lungcheck.

When we think about workplace safety, physical hazards often come to mind first. But psychosocial risks can also have lasting impacts on workers if they are not effectively managed.

This Safe Work Month, explore RSHQ's Assessing the management of psychosocial hazards in Queensland's resources industry report for insights into how these risks are being managed across the sector:

This National Week of Deaf People, take a moment to think about your hearing health. 👂

Around 1.1 million Australian workers are exposed to hazardous workplace noise, and noise-induced hearing loss is permanent and remains one of Australia's most common occupational diseases.
The good news? Hearing loss is 100% preventable but requires controls to be put in place.

The most effective way to protect hearing is to control noise at the source and use hearing protection as the final layer of protection.

Download and share RSHQ's Preventing workplace hearing loss in Queensland’s resources sector poster to help workers and leaders identify noise hazards, protect hearing and support safer, more inclusive workplaces. The link to the poster is available in the comments below. ⬇️
