Cotton Australia Rep on Rural Standing Committee

Cotton Australia Policy Officer, Paul Sloman has been appointed by the Queensland Government to a key rural advisory committee.

Minister Grace Grace appointed Paul to the Rural Industry Sector Standing Committee which gives industry-specific advice and make recommendations to the Work Health and Safety Board about the WHS requirements for our industry.

The WHS Board then advises the Minister on all aspects of Queensland's WHS requirements, thereby informing the development of policies, regulations and legislation by government.

Paul said it was an honour to be appointed to the committee. “Workplace health and safety issues are a key priority for me so to be able to provide responses to WHS issues faced by Queensland’s agricultural industry is very rewarding.

“Part of the role is to consult on industry specific WHS issues and to promote and distribute work health and safety information to our growers.

“If our work contributes to saving just one life in the agricultural sector then the effort will be an amazing success.”
