Contractor safety in Queensland’s coal sector isn’t just flawed—it’s dangerously broken, and one veteran risk expert is calling time on the whole system.
Ventilating one of Australia’s deepest underground builds was never going to be easy—but with ingenuity, modelling and a few oversized fans, Murray Jamieson made it work.
