WA gets more mining inspectors
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – The Western Australian government has appointed four new mines inspectors, including the state's first Aboriginal Special Inspector of Mines.
“Their skills, knowledge and commitment to safety are unquestionable, and they will be a vital addition to Western Australia's mine safety inspectorate,” Mines and Petroleum Minister Bill Marmion said.
Clinton Woosnam, Warren Mitchell, Gary Clinch and Bradford Sheldrick completed six months of rigorous training and testing to qualify, and all have extensive experience across the Western Australian resources sector.
"Between them, these four new inspectors have spent more than 90 years working in the mining industry. Not only do they have a comprehensive understanding of day-to-day operations, they also have a passion for safety.
"As inspectors they have an opportunity to use their skills and experience to make a difference to safety across Western Australia's mining industry,” the Minister said.
Marmion said he was particularly pleased the state's first Aboriginal Special Inspector of Mines had been appointed.
"I hope his success encourages more Aboriginal people into the industry and the Department of Mines and Petroleum," he said.
