Shared responsibility for RII Training Products

Responsibility for the maintenance and review of training products within the RII Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package is shared between AUSMASA and BuildSkills Australia. AUSMASA’s interest is in the mining related products while BuildSkills Australia attends to products that impact civil construction. In some cases, the competencies listed in the training package impact both the mining and the civil construction workforce.

AUSMASA will collaborate with BuildSkills Australia on this project, as some of the training products have implications for stakeholders in the mining and civil construction sectors.

Of the 32 Units of Competency, there are 6 that are of interest to the stakeholders of BuildSkills Australia as well as AUSMASA.

• RIIRIS201E Conduct local risk control
• RIIRIS202E Respond to site based spills
• RIIRIS301E Apply risk management processes
• RIIRIS401E Apply site risk management system
• RIIRIS402E Carry out the risk management process
• RIIRIS403E Manage and coordinate spill response
