QLD:Driving more dangerous than mining

Seven hundred delegates will take part in Australia's biggest conference on mining
health and safety in Queensland today, discussing safety improvements in the booming industry.

driversafety.com.au managing director RUSSELL WHITE says delegates need to remember
it's not just safety inside the workplace that can be improved, with the drive home from
work usually the most dangerous part of the day for miners.

The conference in Townsville runs until Wednesday covering various safety topics for
the industry.
