flag Australia's mine safety reforms have stalled, with stable fatalities and serious injuries due to "one-off" events and human factors.

flag A new analysis reveals Australia's mine safety reforms have stalled, despite significant improvements after the Moura No. flag 2 mine disaster in 1994. flag The fatality rate has decreased from 12.4 to 3.4 per 100,000 workers, but deaths and serious injuries remain stable. flag Today's fatalities result from "one-off" events, while human factors like mental health, fatigue, and high staff turnover pose challenges. flag The study suggests the need for more safety reforms, including mental health initiatives and advances in automation and remote operation.
