Underground Training
Underground Inseam Response training is planned to be conducted in the first quarter of 2017 with a pilot course being run at Oaky North.
QMRS are facilitating the training days for Oaky North. This round we are conducting training in fire, inflatable stoppings and high expansion foam.
Open Cut Emergency Response Training
The Surface Emergency Response course material has been completed and is in the process of being put onto the training scope at SIMTARS. We have at present delivered Recruit Course training to Kestrel, Oaky Surface Operations and Yarrabee Mine. Ongoing maintenance training is being conducted at Kestrel and Oaky Surface Operations.
One of the major drawcards in our training is the content and trainers familiarity in surface operations and their ability to understand the limitations and issues with open cut operations. QMRS are also carrying out maintenance and recruit course training at Anglo’s Dawson Mine. This will allow the mine to align the training to the principal hazards that they have on site and tailor the competencies to suit these hazards. Please direct all inquiries to Mark Freeman on 0419 791 601 or the Blackwater Station on 4982 5369.

Many thanks to the trainers and Brian Debnam for the organisation and efforts in making this round worthwhile. Thanks also to the coordinators for focusing the team members on the allocated days to ensure that there were sufficient numbers to conduct worthwhile training.
