Australian Mining reported that Gina Rinehart’s Roy Hill mine has been issued prohibition notices by Western Australia’s Department of Mines and Petroleum.
As quoted in the market news:
Director of mines safety at the DMP, Andrew Chaplyn, said Roy Hill was issued with two prohibition notices in the past year.
Chaplyn said the notices were issued after a number of incident reports in relation to working with cranes and elevated platforms.
A spokeswoman at Roy Hill stated:
The prohibition notice applies to lifting activities in an isolated work area and does not impinge upon construction-related activities elsewhere on the project.
Based on the work already undertaken, we anticipate returning to normal lifting operations within days.
