Mining Induction - Standard 11 Compliant

Certification

This Mining Induction Course provides both experienced and inexperienced workers with a pathway to enter the mining industry in Australia. The program provides training and assessment for the Resources and Infrastructure Industry (RII) Units of Competency which are specified in Recognised Standard 11, Training in Coal Mines (Qld Coal Mining Safety and Health Act 1999). The units of competency within this course can be used towards completion of more advanced courses such as RII20220 Certificate II in Surface Extraction Operations or RII30719 Certificate III in Emergency Response and Rescue.

The Mining Induction program is the most universally accepted induction program in Australian mining. However, individuals and contractors should confirm induction requirements with the site they will be working on before attending an induction to ensure the process aligns with site processes and is recognised by site.
