The Queensland Mining Industry Health and Safety Conference wishes to acknowledge the generosity of the following organisations and thank them for their continued support.

Dear Industry Colleagues

On behalf of the Committee of the Queensland Mining Industry Health and Safety Conference, it gives me great pleasure to extend to you an invitation to the 2009 Conference which will convene in Townsville from the 23rd to 26th August.

Our theme this year is ‘Safety and Health - everyone’s business’, one which will resonate with each and every stakeholder in our industry, especially during these most stressful of times. In 2008, over 700 people attended the conference, attesting to its relevance to the mining industry. With the challenging times we are all facing due to the global economic downturn, it is arguably even more important that we continue to try to reach more people, encouraging them to attend and to keep safety and health in the front of our minds.

Stressful times require positive action and therefore this year the conference will focus on how we can provide the tools and deliver the mindset to keep the workplace safe and healthy during one of the most difficult periods in our history.

Whilst it has been reported that Queensland’s mining industry achieved its best safety performance on record in 2007-2008, the industry cannot rest on its laurels; indeed this fact only serves to raise the bar for the safety performance of Queensland’s mining companies and their employees.

Highlights from the program this year will be presentations on legislation harmonisation, input from safety experts in other industry sectors and papers from mining industry leaders who will share their experiences and expertise with us. This will be particularly relevant in these current difficult economic times.

Innovations continue to be a major feature of the conference with the annual awards recognising the ingenuity and skills of the inventors, most of whom come from mine sites around Queensland.

Safety and health cannot be ignored in tough economic times and we must remain cognisant that safety and health and productivity are not mutually exclusive. In recent years we have had excellent safety and health outcomes and the focus of this conference must be on maintaining that trend on the road to zero harm.

The value of networking should not be overlooked, most would agree how important this is as we rarely have the opportunity to spend any time with our colleagues within the industry. To facilitate this, there are several social occasions, including the informal dinner and the conference dinner, at which the winners of the Innovations Awards are presented.

My colleagues and I look forward to the opportunity of catching up with you in Townsville in August.
