Bunds are a safety critical control in open pit mining to prevent and mitigate risks associated with heavy vehicle operations. Between 2014-2019 at Capcoal Surface we have had 14 incidents and in Queensland 2012 – 2018, 47 incidents where bunds have stopped uncontrolled vehicles and prevented potentially fatal injuries. At Capcoal we have 100km+ of bunds in the pit, with more than 50 heavy vehicles interacting regularly. Currently the process to monitor & audit the compliance to standard is made via visual inspection with no quantitative process or records.
In a collaboration with SICK sensors we developed a system using laser sensors to scan the bunds and provide a comprehensive measurement including not only height but:
- Roadside facing batter angle.
- Width at the top, if applicable, trapezoidal bunds.
- Distance to high-wall.
Data is transmitted via ethernet to a central data collection system called TDC which then generates a heatmap and a report identifying sections of bund requiring intervention and their criticality.
Some of the benefits of this development, besides measuring all characteristics mentioned before are:
- Is an objective and quantitative process to monitor / audit bunds compliance to standard in real time.
- Cost and time efficient solution as to comply with inspectorate recommendations then survey would be required, incurring in extra cost to audit.
- Visibility across all active bunds and ranking of deficient sections to prioritise as per criticality.
Next is presented an schematic of the sensors installed on a truck and scanning the bunds at both sides.

Competencies for Mine Supervisors
Chair: Greg Dalliston – Industry Safety & Health Representative, CFMEU Mining and Energy Division Queensland Region
This is your opportunity to influence the standard of supervision in our industry. Over the last few years, the industry has had a number of serious and fatal accidents where effective supervision has been raised as a contributing factor.
This session will include a brief introduction to the reasons why the review into the three units of competency (Risk Management, Accident Investigation and Communications) is being undertaken, with Industry, Department and Unions represented.
It will then be open to give attendees a chance to have input into a review of what skills and competencies the industry sees as being required to assist persons appointed as supervisors to ensure that the work under their care is conducted to an acceptable level of risk, their responsibilities and obligations to the workers being supervised and that safety and health related information is passed on to those continuing with that work at the mine.
The session will conclude with a summary of the issues raised which will be fed back into the Project Committee through the IRC, SSO and PWC.
Complacency Kills!
The provision of information, instruction, training and supervision is an essential component of any risk management strategy. A robust training and assessment program is fundamental to the safety of not
only those conducting tasks, but also other workers and people who may be affected by their work.
Can our training and assessment programs be more robust? Have we let complacency slip in? Have we stopped training and assessing in some areas because “it hasn’t happened for a while”?
During this Workshop, coordinated by the Resources Training Council, we will explore these questions and more.
INNOVATION AWARDS 2019
The aim of this Award is to recognise creative and practical solutions to safety and occupational health problems and to promote their application across the Australian Resources Industry.
The Ten Finalists selected prior to the Conference, will present their Innovations during Monday afternoon’s Session. The Winners will be announced at the Conference Dinner on Wednesday evening. There are three Award Categories:
- Winner – as judged by the Industry Judging Panel
- People’s Choice – as judged by the Conference Delegates
- Highly Commended – combined vote count of the Judging Panel and the Conference Delegates
Award Prize
The Winner will have the opportunity to nominate one person associated with the development of the Innovation to attend the A + A Trade Exhibition in Dusseldorf in November as a guest of our sponsor uvex safety Australia.
The Winner will also receive the Queensland Mining Industry Innovation Award Trophy and a Framed Certificate. The Winners of The People’s Choice and Highly Commended Awards will receive a Queensland Mining Industry Innovation Award Trophy and a Framed Certificate. In recognition of the work that goes into preparing each submission, the Conference Committee offers a concession on the registration fee to the principal presenter of an accepted Innovation.
