How BBRA hazards flow into your SHMS
So you finished your BBRA/whole-of-mine Risk Assessment? You're at just the beginning of your journey! Your entire Safety and Health Management System comes from the BBRA. Stick to this and you should be compliant - no matter which jurisdiction you come under.
The "Regulatory Trifecta": Mining Safety Act, Management Structure and Critical Control Management
Your response to the Inspector, your BBRA, and your Management Structure must all tell the same story. If they don't, you aren't just failing a paperwork exercise - you’re failing your legislative obligations.

Capturing on-the-job working experience “TREx”
