Mining Supervisor (G1, G8, G9) Refresher

Students who are deemed competent will receive a Statement of Attainment recognised under the Australian Qualifications Framework. This certification is nationally recognised. The Statement is issued by Pinnacle Safety and Training (RTO 40496).

National units of competency

RIIRIS301E Apply risk management processes
RIIWHS301E Conduct safety and health investigations
RIICOM301E Communicate information

Participants will demonstrate the currency of their knowledge and skills through practical assessments conducted in a simulated workplace environment. This includes completing a simulated incident investigation, where they will gather and analyse evidence, identify contributing factors, and develop a report outlining appropriate corrective actions. Participants will also apply the risk management process in accordance with legislative requirements and demonstrate effective consultation and communication practices throughout. These assessment activities are designed to reflect real-world supervisory responsibilities and ensure participants are capable of applying their skills in a mining context.

Participants will complete practical assessments by submitting video evidence of tasks performed in a simulated workplace setting. This requires access to video equipment, such as a webcam or smartphone, and the assistance of a volunteer. The volunteer must be 15 years of age or older and consent to being filmed.
