A Standard 11 or Generic Induction is the training accreditation you require in order to legally work on a coal mine site in Queensland.

The specific legislation relating to this Standard is the Coal Mining Safety & Health Act 1999 and the Coal Mine Safety and Health Regulations 2001.

The Recognised Standard – Training in Coal Mines was issued by the Queensland Department of Resources and sets out national units of competency that an individual must hold to work on a coal mine in Queensland – this is what is commonly referred to as the Standard 11 (S11) or the Generic Mine Induction.

These units of competency which are set out in Appendix 3 of the Queensland Department of Resources’ Recognised Standard 11 – Training in Coal Mines include (Surface only):

• · RIICOM201E Communicate in the workplace
• · RIIGOV201E Comply with site work processes/procedures
• · RIIWHS201E Work safely and follow WHS policies and procedures
• · RIIRIS201E Conduct local risk control
• · RIIERR205D Apply initial response First Aid
• · RIIERR302E Respond to local emergencies and incidents

As set out in the Coal Mining Regulations, each ‘coal mine worker must hold the Standard 11 skill set and it must then be refreshed at least once in every five years’.

For full details regarding the Recognised Standard 11, please follow the following link to Business Queensland’s website:

You will need to do the Standard 11 or what has been known as the Generic Induction if you want to work on a Queensland coal mine.

As set out in the Recognised Standard – Training in Coal Mines issued by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, each ‘coal mine worker must hold the Standard 11 qualification and this qualification must then be refreshed under the mine training scheme at least once in every five years’.

For full details regarding the Recognised Standard 11, please follow the following link to the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy website:

You can complete your Standard 11 training through either our 2-day face-to-face or virtual course. Both courses cover the 6 key competencies necessary for understanding safety practices in coal mines.

In the face-to-face course, all assessment activities are conducted during the 2-day training. If you successfully complete all the assessments during the course, you will be issued with a Statement of Attainment.

In the virtual course, you must successfully complete the assessments during the course and submit a completed skills and experience form (with verifiable evidence of previous mining or related industry experience) to obtain a Statement of Attainment. This is due to the fact certain practical activities cannot be completed during a virtual course. If you're unable to provide the required evidence, you'll receive a Statement of Completion at the end of the virtual training course and be given a Standard 11 Site Evidence Checklist. You'll have 12 months to complete the Checklist and return it to WorkSafe Connect without any additional cost.

Although the Site Evidence Checklist process is common in the Queensland coal mining industry and known by mining sites, we recommend contacting your employer or the specific mine site you'll be visiting before booking to ensure this pathway is acceptable.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact WorkSafe Connect by phone or email. We are dedicated to helping you choose the right course for your circumstances.

The Standard 11 (S11) is the recognised training standard associated with the Queensland Coal Mining industry. The specific legislation relating to this Standard is the Coal Mining Safety & Health Act 1999 and the Coal Mine Safety and Health Regulations 2001.

Currency of your Standard 11 relates to when you completed either your initial training course or a refresher – ie. If you completed your Standard 11 training 3 years ago then your Standard 11 remains current.

As set out in the Recognised Standard, each ‘coal mine worker must hold the Standard 11 qualification and this qualification must then be refreshed under the mine training scheme at least once in every five years’.

If you do require a refresher of your Standard 11, WorkSafe Connect offers a 1 day Standard 11 (S11) Refresher training course and full details regarding this refresher can be found by clicking on the following link:
