Coroner to Examine Deaths in Queensland Mining and Resources Sector
A new mining and resources coroner will focus on safety, investigations, and faster answers for families after workplace deaths.
A reinstated coroner’s role in Queensland will help enhance mining and resources worker safety at mine, quarry, petroleum, and gas sites, with a justice service to cater to mandatory coronial inquests.
< blockSizequote>Attorney-General Deb Frecklington added that when there are no sector-specific deaths to investigate, the coroner could help ease pressures on the justice system by performing other coronial duties.- The coroner’s jurisdiction will also be able to examine the circumstances of death by suicide where it is in the public interest to investigate.
- The state government expects the coroner to deliver answers to grieving families sooner and make recommendations to prevent workplace deaths occurring into the future.
