COVID-19 - Advice to mine operators - October 2021 update

Under NSW work health and safety laws, mine operators must have measures in place to eliminate or minimise the risk of COVID-19. As we move forward and restrictions ease, we must adapt and continually manage the risk of COVID-19 at mining operations. We have provided updated information to mine operators, which is available here and further information about COVID-19 is available on our COVID-19 web page.

Questions regarding compliance with the Public Health Orders should be directed to ServiceNSW (13 77 88) in the first instance.
