Critical Control Management for Mine Site Supervisors and Managers

This project addresses competencies required for the different levels of supervision roles on a mine site.

National consultation will be conducted to review and revise existing Training Products in the RII Resource and Infrastructure Training Package, and develop new ones, specifically focused on managing risks and hazards at supervisory levels in mining environments.

This project aims to more closely align the units of competency with the responsibilities and expectations of supervisory roles under the management framework for identifying, controlling, and monitoring hazards on mine sites. Units of competency will be updated with close attention to Critical Control Management principles and statutory mine management responsibilities.  

As part of the consultation on this project, we invite stakeholder feedback on competencies to inform the review and update of relevant Training Products. Key competencies include:

• Apply and Carry Out Risk Management Processes
• Conduct Safety and Health Investigations
• Communicate information
• Knowledge of relevant mining safety legislation and regulations
• Safety and Health Management System requirements
• Critical Control Management knowledge and experience

Stakeholders being consulted with include industry, government, training providers, unions and regulators. We will also collaborate with BuildSkills Australia on shared units relevant to civil construction.
  
This project commences in October 2025 and is due for completion by March 2027.
