The tours conducted by Inside Industry have been popular since they were introduced in 2018.
They stopped a year ago when public access to the steelworks was suspended because of COVID-19 and the potential risk to operations.
Inside Industry's Stuart Barnes said following a risk assessment by BlueScope Steel and a review of the latest health advice nation
ally and locally it was determined that tours could resume in a COVID-Safe manner.
Visitors will be required to comply with COVID Safe protocols, including temperature checking, signing-in using the NSW Government QR code and wear masks on the bus and on site.
Mr Barnes said the tour route has been amended to continue to ensure the safety of guests and BlueScope personnel.
