The Mining and Energy Union is concerned about safety culture in the Pilbara after four major train derailments in 12 months.The Mining and Energy Union says future train crashes in Western Australia’s mining sector could lead to "major" fatalities if safety culture is not improved.
On Tuesday Rio Tinto iron ore chief executive Simon Trott said an investigation into the derailment was ongoing, but early findings suggested there was a "gap" in a "procedure" on the rail line, which had since been rectified. "The regulator doesn't see the value in having people who have rail experience go out and do inspections and audits and regulatory activities," Mr Johncock said."Generally, most rail safety workers up there haven't had much to do with the regulator, if anything."
These are known as proceed authorities exceeded and are often precursors to more serious incidents such as collisions and derailments.
