PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Introduction
Safety management system of a mine is a device used by the mine operators to help
them to seek and maintain the standards laid down for managing the safety and health in a
systematic manner. It consolidates the procedures and policies needed to control and lessen
the risks connected to the mining activities.
In this assignment, a report is made providing the information of the detailed research
and study conducted to ensure the safety as well as environmental liabilities of the Horizon
Mining under the provisions of Queensland Coal Mining legislation. This report deals with many
concerns to ensure that Horizing Mine follows the terms and conditions laid down under Coal
Mining Safety and Health Act 1999 for working effectively in Australia. Further a proposal is
also made ensuring that the mine management is well aware of the legal liabilities. In
addition to this, the legislative requirements of the said Act are also discussed in reference to
its Part 1, 2 and 3. Moreover, a provision on the ‘Principal Hazard Management Plan’ is also
enumerated. Moreover, the safety procedure to be followed in the mine site is also discussed
in case any fatality occurs at the mine location. The report also addresses the legislative need
in relation to environmental management of noise, dust, sewage and waste water.
Discussion:
Queensland mine safety framework:
The mining safety and health legislation of Queensland is regarded as one of the best
among the world (Walters et al. 2016). The purpose of this report is to practical guidance to
the employers, employees and other members involved in the development and implementing
a management structure in the coal mines located at Queensland to allow the effective
implementation of the Safety and Health Management system (SHMS). As per section 55 of
