S11R-BMA BMA Standard 11 Refresher
Course Overview
This BMA Standard 11 refresher course is ONLY available for BMA employees and contractors. For public enrolment, please click here to enrol in Civil Safety's Standard 11 refresher course. For reference, both refresher courses offer the same outcome and both enable you to work on any Queensland Surface Coal and Metalliferous mining site. The only distinction is that this course is restricted to BMA personnel.
Individuals who have previously completed the 6 units of competency within the Standard 11 skill set and hold a Statement of Attainment may be required to complete refresher training to maintain currency. Industry standards recommend that individuals should undertake refresher training every two to five years. This is due to changes in Australian and industry standards, as well as updates in WHS legislation, regulations, and codes of practice, that can impact the knowledge and skills required for working safely in surface coal mining operations, under the Queensland Government Mines Inspectorate’s Recognised Standard 11 (Qld Coal Mining Safety and Health Act 1999). Refreshed knowledge and skills can help improve workplace safety and minimise the risk of injury or harm to yourself and others.
Our online refresher course offers the convenience of studying at your own pace, from anywhere and at any time. You can access the course material on any device, making it easy to fit your studies around your work and personal commitments. Our experienced trainers have designed the course to refresh your knowledge on key concepts and update your skills according to the latest industry standards and regulations.
