Speaker:  Dr Snezana Bajic, Deputy Chief Inspector Explosives, Resources Safety & Health (RSHQ) Queensland

Abstract:  Career paths hold many rocks which need crushing. I put my dreams on the line and challenged my motivation to break career stereotypes on the way to success, becoming the first female Deputy Chief Inspector in Queensland. The journey started 25 years ago with mining in mineral processing, continued at JKMRC only to be elevated to exceptional achievements beyond my imagination.

Snezana is leading the operational side of the Explosives Inspectorate.  She is involved in all explosives related investigations, complex blast notifications, and has oversight of all inspections and audits across Queensland. 
Prior to this role, Snezana was the Technical Services Manager at Simtars where she and her team were responsible for providing mine technical support services including gas monitoring and spontaneous combustion, emergency support services, consulting, ACARP research and development for the industry. She was involved in organising and assessing Level 1 emergency exercises over the years and worked closely with QMRS, industry and government representatives.
