Review
This impressive work provides important insights into how law, regulation and policy interact and influence workplace practice. They are relevant beyond the mining industry and will assist national efforts to improve Australia's OHS performance. - Robin Stewart-Crompton, CEO, National Occupational Health and Safety Commission, 2001-2006 The regulation of mining safety in Australia has particular structures, characteristics and challenges. Neil Gunningham's book makes a telling contribution to this evolving and critical field. It draws upon extensive historical, legislative and empirical research to suggest regulatory methods to reduce workplace injury. It is a book which has the capacity to greatly assist future planning by legislators and regulatory bodies. - The Hon Mark Ritter SC, Acting President of the Western Australian Industrial Relations Commission This book provides an excellent coverage of a topical and critical area in the Australian mining industry's journey towards 'zero harm' - a journey that needs all the support it can get. It provides a splendid basis for further thinking and development by all of the vital stakeholders and (indirectly at the very least) a compelling argument for all parties to get together and work towards the common goal. - Graham Terrey, formerly Director of Mine Safety and Chief Inspector of Mines for NSW

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Historically, the mining industry has had a high incidence of work related injury and disease, and of disasters involving multiple fatalities. It also faces OHS challenges far exceeding those confronting most other industry sectors.\n\nMine safety legislation can play an important role in meeting those challenges. Although regulation is never likely to be the entire answer, good regulation not only brings laggards up to a minimum legal standard, it also encourages, rewards and facilitates leaders in going beyond them. Bad regulation, in contrast, constrains good enterprises from taking the initiative to improve OHS, while failing to deter bad ones.\n\nThis book describes mine safety legislation in the mining states and analyses its strengths and weaknesses. It also examines the broader policy questions of how best to design, implement and enforce mine safety regulation.\n\nIt argues that substantial reform will be necessary not only in setting standards, but also in their implementation, if further OHS improvements are to be achieved. This implies substantial changes in the way the mine safety inspectorates go about their tasks: in how they administer and enforce the law; and in the circumstances in which they choose to prosecute. It also requires the nurturing of a degree of trust between employers and workers (individually and collectively) and between both these parties and the mines inspectorates, that has been substantially lacking in recent years. This book describes mine safety legislation in Australia's "mining states" and analyses its strengths and weaknesses. It also examines the broader policy questions of how best to design, implement and enforce mine safety regulation.
