The Small Mines and Quarries Health and Safety Roadshow is visiting 15 regional areas from October to December.

The events provide information about health, safety and current issues affecting this part of the industry.

"The roadshows were developed to assist small mines and quarries to maintain safe mining practices, as well as providing an opportunity for face-to-face engagement with the Regulator," said Resources Regulator principal inspector of small mines Peter Berkholz.

Mr Berkholz said that "NSW has a world-class regulatory system for mines and quarries and having safety plans is integral to every mining operation".

"We recognise that resourcing and preparing things like mine safety management plans can be challenging for smaller operators, however, they are essential for safe mining and quarry activities," he said.

Roadshow topics include quarry manager practising certificates, dust and airborne contaminants, explosives management, reporting to the Regulator, and learning from disasters.

"The roadshow is one of a number of safety initiatives undertaken by the NSW Resources Regulator, including specialised workshops for managers, engineers and safety professionals," Mr Berkholz said.

The roadshows will be organised and implemented in accordance to the NSW Government COVID-19 Safety Plan for conferences, functions, and corporate events.
