The company's TRIFR improved to 13.6 over the quarter.

"A ‘safety reset' was rolled out across Stanmore's sites and head office during the quarter following six fatalities across the industry over the past 12 months," the company said in an investor presentation.

"Stanmore chose to involve the entire corporate team in the safety reset, including our consultants."

The company undertook or managed 78,837 hours of activities directly and through its contractors during the September quarter.

"Stanmore has proactively engaged with mining contractor Golding to establish Lifesaving Rules and Fatal Risk Standards at Isaac Plains," it said.

Official figures show 96% of workers in Queensland's resources and quarry sectors have completed the safety resets.

Queensland Resources Council CEO Ian Macfarlane said the QRC was supporting the two independent reviews commissioned by the Queensland government, which are due to report by the end of the year.

The reviews will focus on why mine and quarry workers have died over the past 20 years; how industry can improve; and how the mines inspectorate can work better and review the state's mining health and safety legislation.

"From day one when the reset was first proposed at a meeting with industry, government and unions, resources companies have made this their top priority," Macfarlane said.
