A requirement of the Work Health and Safety (Mines) Regulations 2022 is the appointment of persons with the competence to ensure that workplaces are adequately ventilated to minimise risks arising from exposure to hazardous substances and airborne contaminants. This course builds upon the competencies acquired in the three-day Mine Air Quality Technician Course.
NOTE: Course graduates qualify for Associate Membership of the Australian Institute of Occupational Hygiene.
Through reflective learning, peer support & practical application, participants will:
- Discuss the application of the hierarchy of control in order to minimise any potential hazardous effects arising from employee exposure to atmospheric contaminants
- Discuss the need for alterations to exposure standards where variations to an eight hour shift may occur and apply appropriate formula to determine exposure level
- Explain the possible interrelationships between two or more atmospheric contaminants, their possible effect on exposed employees and potential difficulties of measurement
- Discuss hazard and risk in the context of the hierarchy of controls.
Apply a systematic approach to managing hazards for a range of hazardous substances exposure scenarios in mining operations, including:
- Confined spaces
- Welding and allied processes
On successful completion of this course, participants will be issued with a certificate of attendance.
Participants need to have completed the Mine Air Quality Technician course.
- Participants are required to provide a laptop and will be provided access to the LMS to complete assessments in class
- Participants are encouraged to bring their own air pump as used in their workplace
