Mining Industry Road Safety Alliance (MIRSA)
The Mining Industry and Road Safety Alliance (MIRSA) is an alliance of coal mining companies, associated service and contractor companies operating in the central Queensland region, with a common goal to improve road safety on regional highways.
Expansion of mining activities in the region has resulted in a substantial increase in traffic flows on local highways and road systems. MIRSA aims to educate mine employees and contractors throughout the Bowen Basin about road safety issues such as fatigue and speeding risks, wide load movements through various activities such as roadside billboards and safety campaigns.
MIRSA works with the Mackay/Whitsunday Road Accident Action Group (RAAG), a community-based organisation comprising government, industry and community representatives, which is involved in the development and implementation of programs to reduce incidents of road trauma in the region. Read More >>
