Welcome

Safety leadership is always paramount across all industries.  This conference focused on the niche area of mine electrical safety. 

For 34 years the Mine Electrical Safety Conference (MESC) in Queensland has been the premier mine electrical safety conference in Australia. 

Much in the industry has improved over the years, however, serious accidents, high potential incidents, recordable injuries, lost-time injuries and disabling injuries still occur across the industry.

2024 brought together attendees, sponsors and exhibitors for another year.  Attendees came from mines throughout Queensland.  It was a unique environment to mix with mine Electrical Engineers, Electrical Engineer Managers (EEMs), Health and Safety Operators, Electrical Superintendents and Supervisors, Site Services Managers as well as State Electrical Inspectors.

Hosted by the Mine Electrical Safety Association (MESA), the conference focused on the new era of mine electrical safety. It is well renowned as the best opportunity for showcasing expertise and assisting attendees to navigate the complexity of safety leadership. Attendees also learnt and networked with some of the most knowledgeable people in Australia on mining and quarry safety. 

The MESC brought together government departments, consultants, suppliers and key industry decision makers to hear technical presentations on all matters relating to electrical safety within the mining industry. The industry-driven technical programme identified areas of improvement and innovations for electrical safety, along with providing information and learnings to help improve safety and productivity.

The Mine Electrical Safety Conference allowed MESA to provide professional development and education to improve workplace safety and reduce harm.

Conference Date: 3 - 5 June 2024

Conference Location: Sofitel Brisbane Central

Supported by the Mine Electrical Safety Association 

The Mine Electrical Safety Association (MESA) Inc was formed more than 34 years ago with the goal of promoting electrical safety in the mining industry.

MESA continues to lead the way in the industry with the focus on safety.  Since its inception, MESA has been an important leader in bringing together the working face of the industry, suppliers and consultants with government departments and key industry decision makers.  This collaboration has the goal of identifying electrical safety problems and, by consultation, provide information with a view to improving safety and productivity.

MESA values safety greatly and is continuously looking to improve workplaces for those involved in the mining industry.

MESA is proud to lead the way in industry education focussing on mine electrical safety and strongly believes in the benefits of meeting face-to-face to learn, network and share knowledge on how the industry is performing along with ways to improve workplace safety and reduce harm.
