WHAT IS GENERIC MINING INDUCTION:

The Generic Induction program was officially launched in Queensland in October 1997. The Mining Industry had for some time been calling for a more efficient, cost effective standardised way of inducting non permanent employees. Contractors were also seeking a means of minimising the time spent undertaking repetitive inductions at each mine site.
The Generic Induction program has been re-launched in 2007 taking account of the review and with significant industry participation to ensure the ongoing relevance and quality of the material.
