I have recently taken on responsibility of the MEMS portfolio and I am looking forward to working more closely with the Mines to continually improve the course QMRS offers. Another successful MEMS course was held in September with mines sending persons from Grosvenor Mine, Oaky North, Oaky No.1, Grasstree Mine and Kestrel Mine. QMRS is currently upgrading the material and scenarios which is to be delivered during the next course which is being held 14th – 18th November 2016.
Participants from Oaky North, Oaky No.1, Grasstree, Grosvenor and Kestrel Mines
QMRS has commenced delivery of Glencore Incident Command & Control Systems (GICCS) course. These are a two day course held in Tieri.
Level 2’s are well underway with North Goonyella conducting one during September, planning has started at Carborough Downs, and we have had discussions at other mines which means a busy couple of months coming up now that the Level 1 has been postponed until November.
Congratulations and well done to the next generation of recruits who successfully completed the August Recruit course at the Dysart station. It was the second full UG Recruit course we have run using the new Learning Management System (LMS). For those in the know this means a paperless fully integrated course.

Congratulations to Grosvenor for placing 1st, with Cook Colliery taking 2nd, Oaky North 3rd and Oaky No.1 4th. The Matt Best Trophy was won by Scott Ryan of Moranbah North Mine & the Chief Inspectors Trophy was won by James Hodgkinson, also of Moranbah North Mine.
