GENERIC INDUCTION – MINES
WHAT IS GENERIC INDUCTION FOR MINES:
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.
A new Recognised Standard (Standard 11) under the Coal Mining Safety and Health Act 1995 was brought into effect in 2010 and states that workers on coal surface mine sites will now be required to be trained in the following competencies:
The Course uses high-technology simulation through the incorporation of PROJECT CANARY, group activities and role playing to accelerate learning. Participants are assessed throughout the Course against the following units of competency:
- RIIOHS201A Work Safely and follow OHS Policies and Procedures
- RIIERR205A Apply Initial First Aid
- RIIGOV201A Comply with site work processes/procedures
- RIIRIS201A Conduct local risk control
- RIICOM201A Communicate in the Workplace
- RIIERR302A Respond to Local emergencies and incidents
These units of competency will be in partial completion of the RII20209 Certificate II in Surface Extraction Operations.
GENERIC INDUCTION TRAINING IS INTENDED TO:
- Enable the new starter on a mine to work safely until further on-the-job training is provided
- Give the new starter a ‘feel’ for the industry into which they are entering
- Partially meet the legislative requirements for induction training prior to commencing work on a mine site
- Eliminate the need for repetitive induction training
