QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Bulong nickel mine 35 kilometres east of Kalgoorlie operated by Preston Resources Ltd. (1) What lost time injury frequency rate statistics have been reported for this site since it was commissioned? (2) What was the average duration of a lost time injury during this period? (3) How do these statistics compare with Western Australian mining industry averages? (4) What are the total injury frequency statistics, including lost time injuries, for this site since it was commissioned? (5) How do these statistics compare with Western Australian mining industry averages? (6) How many injuries have occurred that resulted in mine personnel being placed on light duties? (7) What was the average duration of light duty assignments for injured workers? Hon G.T. GIFFARD
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) I am advised that the first mention of the Bulong operation on the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources accident database is in April 1997. The plant was commissioned in April 1999. The latest available data is for September 2001. Within those parameters, the AXTAT database shows the lost time injury frequency rate for each year as follows - 1997-98 No injuries were reported. 1998-99 3.1. 1999-2000 9.2. 2000-01 5.2. (2) The average duration of lost time injuries during the same years was as follows - 1997 -98 No injuries were reported. 1998-99 6.3. 1999-2000 9.3. 2000-01 3.0. (3) The industry average for the same years was as follows - 1997-98 LTIFR 8.1; duration 16.5. 1998-99 LTIFR 6.6; duration 15.5. 1999-2000 LTIFR 6.9; duration 12.3. 2000-01 LTIFR 5.5; duration 16.9. (4)-(7) The department does not have reliable data on all injury frequency rates or light duty accidents for either the Bulong operation or the entire industry over the period the subject of the question. Reporting of all injuries is not mandatory under the provisions of the Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1994, which requires only the reporting of lost time injuries. Modified software within the AXTAT system to collect data on alternative duties as a result of injury has very recently been put into production.

(1) What lost time injury frequency rate statistics have been reported for this site since it was commissioned? (2) What was the average duration of a lost time injury during this period? (3) How do these statistics compare with Western Australian mining industry averages? (4) What are the total injury frequency statistics, including lost time injuries, for this site since it was commissioned? (5) How do these statistics compare with Western Australian mining industry averages? (6) How many injuries have occurred that resulted in mine personnel being placed on light duties? (7) What was the average duration of light duty assignments for injured workers? Hon G.T. GIFFARD replied: I thank the member for some notice of this question.
