The Department of Mines, Industry, Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) are conducting human factors assessments to establish an industry baseline. These assessments aim to obtain an accurate picture of the current state of human factors integration into safety management systems. DMIRS will then use this information to determine what resources and...
