Achieving „Work Safe Work Ready‟
Controlled environment
Highly experienced UGM training facilitators
Program overseen by Statutory Mine
Manager
Effective and „practical‟ introduction to mine
hazards and controls
Reinforce theoretical knowledge
Introduce and reinforce behaviours
Underground Coal Competencies
o Statement of attainment for 5 core
competencies in Underground Coal Mining
o And partial attainment of Certificate II in
Underground Coal Mining
Logbook takeaway
Reinforcement of hazard awareness
principles through; classroom, virtual
reality and practical application
o Risk management processes (SLAM,
SWMS, PTO)
o Safe lifting and working at heights
o Machinery interaction, isolation and zoning
o Diesel safety circuits
Risk management tools and pre use equipment
inspections
Mine safety management systems of work (tailored to site
requirements and systems)
LHD‟s and a comprehensive range of attachments
Man transport vehicles
Air leg and handheld bolting and concreting systems
Strata management systems; LinknLocks and props
Ventilation systems inc. vent tubes, venturis and brattice
Services advance and retract – air, water, belt, power
Development panel equipment – SC, CM
Trainees achieve familiarity through actual experience
Designed to complement mine training programs
o Accelerated to ‘Work Safe – Work Ready’
o Integration and pathway into Cert II, III programs
o Ability to use centre to reinforce behaviours and
experiences
Trainee mineworkers and trades
Trades pathway into mining for
o Electrical: HV, CM, SC, Tx, DCB’s
o Mechanical: Diesels and mining equipment
Three groups completed
Two external companies
One internal team
Miners, trades & engineers
Tailored to suit needs and background
Ideal mix of classroom, virtual reality and practical
Real life lessons from Peter Harding incident
Confident of ability to understand hazards and work
requirements
Feedback from newly employed trainees who recently
completed the 15 day CoalStart program;
93% satisfaction for the ability to meet the
participants‟ expectations
100% of participants felt the information received
was useful, easy to follow and felt they were more
prepared for the mining industry due to completing
the course
100% of participants agreed they would recommend
the CoalStart program
“It was great to drive the equipment i.e. PJB, Eimco and Shuttle Car.... I would
have not liked to go underground without this course knowledge under my belt”
“Overall, (the program) was an excellent introduction and training to what we can
expect to come across in the workplace”
“There was continual repetition and focus that helped reinforce the importance of
isolation, no-go zones, checking machines before, during and after use,
communication, being responsible for my safety and those around me”
Work Safe – Work Ready
Accelerated pathway to operational readiness
