QLD COAL IS A HIGH RISK ENVIRONMENT

Coal mine workers operate in high-risk environments, under extended shifts and continuous monitoring. After incidents or taking personal leave unsupervised interviews and meetings often create legal and employment exposure for workers who lack independent representation. 

​

  • Long shifts in high-risk environments

  • Continuous monitoring and surveillance

  • Post-incident meetings without independent support

  • Statements later used in disciplinary or legal action

  • Aggressive management tactics

QCMA provides support at the moment risk is highest.

 

  • Independent, on-demand worker representation
