Digging Deeper - Wran Consultancy - Project Vol 1
The entire NSW mining industry’s commitment to achieving and sustaining world-class performance in OHS is demonstrated by the commissioning in 2007 by the NSW Mine Safety Advisory Council (MSAC) of research into: production bonuses and safety incentives; working time and fatigue management; and OHS management systems and consultation.

These three, interrelated, topics were priorities identified by the Wran Mine Safety Review in 2005. In 2006, the newly-formed and revitalised MSAC moved quickly to develop a comprehensive research project and then selected a consulting consortium lead by Shaw Idea to carry it out within a relatively short time frame.  [download full report]

Digging Deeper - Wran Consultancy - Project Vol 2
This second volume of the Digging Deeper report contains the attachments to the report. This volume contains documents that are referred to in the first volume.

Some of the attachments flesh out the research method we used, such as the questionnaires and interview schedules. We also provide and the statistical analysis of the census data and the quantitative site visit data. The reports of the Future Inquiry workshops give the reader some insight into what it was like to be there, and importantly, show that there are large areas of common ground between the various industrial players in the NSW mining industry. Finally we provide some information that will be valuable into the future. These include our own advice to the industry in the form of The Platinum Rules and guidance materials for each of the research topics.  [download full report]
