NSW's workplace safety watch dog will meet with the state's ski resorts on potential safety upgrades to chairlifts.
SafeWork NSW says an industry round table on safety enhancements will take place next month, with representatives from Perisher and Thredbo attending.
The round table comes after a chairlift became dislodged at Thredbo last month while a skier was on board during strong winds.
The skier sustained minor bruises from the incident after falling several metres to the ground from the Gunbarrel Express Quad chairlift.
A similar incident happened in 2016 at Thredbo, when a chair fell off the chairlift in the same spot.
A SafeWork NSW spokeswoman said industry round tables were a standard practice with industries when it came to safety improvements.
"Following the investigation of an incident that occurred in Thredbo on July 22, SafeWork is continuing to work with Thredbo Kosciusko and other resort operators to ensure operational safety standards are met," the spokeswoman said.
"SafeWork will continue to work with the relevant stakeholders to ensure safety standards are in place."
It's not known which elements of chairlift safety or which safety enhancements will be discussed as part of the round table talks.
Following July's incident at Thredbo, the chairlift was assessed by SafeWork inspectors and engineers, before being reopened to the public.
Inspectors also visited other ski resorts in NSW after the incident, and provided information to other ski resorts across the border in Victoria.
Strong winds, some with gusts of up to 100km/h, lashed ski resorts in the Snowy Mountains last week.
The winds forced multiple chair lifts at Thredbo to close for several days due to the conditions.
A Thredbo spokeswoman said the closure was standard operating procedure for the resort, and was not brought on due to July's incident.
"The safety of our guests and our people is the number one priority at Thredbo," the spokeswoman said.
"Due to the nature of the environment in which we operate, there are many factors that go into determining operating thresholds, including wind direction, speed and strength of gusts."
