Quarterly safety report released for October to December 2022

The quarterly safety report for October to December 2022 (PDF, 6.18 MB) has been released to better inform industry when reviewing safety management systems and undertaking risk assessments at their sites. The report details incidents and trends relating to hazard management, in addition to sector specific information.

As a high-hazard regulator, we focus on compliance with legislative requirements associated with principal and other high-risk hazards. ‘Roads or other vehicle operating areas’, ‘fires or explosion’ and ‘air quality or dusts and other airborne contaminants’ are hazards that feature regularly in incident notifications to the Regulator.

In the period October to December 2022, total incident notifications received by principal hazard were up (from 159 to 219). This figure also represents an increase from the quarterly average (169) recorded for the previous four quarters.
