Course Outline
Plumpton Training Services as part of its ongoing improvement initiatives, have developed a course specifically targeted at frontline electrical supervisors on the mine site.
The 2019 Brady Review of fatalities in the mining industry highlights the criticality of supervision:
Recommendation 4: The industry needs to focus on ensuring workers are appropriately supervised for the tasks they are undertaking.
…
Not only does absent or inadequate supervision allow tasks to be approached in an unsafe manner, but it also greatly amplifies the consequences of a lack of training or ineffective or unenforced controls.
The Queensland Coal Mining Safety and Health Regulation has been recently amended to include specific responsibilities of a supervisor under section 16A:
16A Supervisor’s responsibilities
A supervisor for a coal mine has the following responsibilities—
(a) ensuring each mine worker for whom the supervisor has responsibilities is given the supervision and help mentioned in sections 85A(2) and 85B;
(b) observing each coal mine worker for whom the supervisor has responsibilities perform tasks;
(c) carrying out inspections of workplaces at the coal mine as required under the coal mine’s safety and health management system;
(d) recording reports of, and findings and recommendations resulting from, inspections mentioned in paragraph (c) in the mine record;
(e) implementing and monitoring hazard controls and risk controls as required under the coal mine’s safety and health management system.
