THE NEW South Wales Government's Mine Safety Advisory Council says is trying to foster a zero harm culture among miners.

The Council’s chairman Norman Jennings says industry officials have agreed at 2008 summit on mine safety that reaching world leading health and safety culture in the mining industry is the way to improve safety.

Jennings claims that this approach should be undertaken as opposed to looking at the purely technical ways of making work safer.

The Council has established a working party which will examine and assess some of the particular issues that the group will move forward on.
