Accreditation requires students to:

• Successfully complete the assessments during the course; and
• Provide verifiable evidence of previous experience in mining or related industries accompanied by a completed skills and experience form.

If a participant is not able to produce this verifiable evidence, the student will be issued a Statement of Completion at the end of the course and given a Standard 11 Logbook to complete.

The participant has 12 months to complete this Logbook and return to WorkSafe Connect (note, there is no additional cost for this service).

Achieving the course requirements (including evidence of previous experience or completion of a Logbook), results in the student receiving a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment.

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:

https://www.dnrme.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0016/240370/recognised-standard-11.pdf

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:

5 years.

As set out in the Recognised Standard – Training in Coal Mines issued by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, refresher training under the mine training scheme must occur at least once in every five (5) years.

While the national units of competency associated with the Standard 11 (S11) do not expire, similar to other competencies like CPR, your competencies must be refreshed in order to continue to legally work on a Queensland coal mine.

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

If you are heading to a BMA mine site then we do recommend to all participants to contact the BMA mine site in advance regarding what entry requirements they require – please do this prior to enrolling in this course.

WorkSafe Connect’s Virtual Training is live, real-time trainer-led delivered in an interactive online environment.

Our virtual training is the same great learning experience that our face-to-face training is known for, just delivered differently. By way of overview of what our virtual training involves:

• They are real-time video-led sessions where our trainer presents to the group and guides the students through the activities and assessments.
• It is delivered via the Zoom or Microsoft Teams platform, which allows students to interact with the other students as well as the trainer (including break out rooms for group discussions).
• Students complete their assessments and activities via our online web-based Learner Portal. The trainer marks the assessments throughout the session and assists students who need to reattempt questions that were incorrect.
• In order to complete the virtual session, students need to have access to a computer or laptop (not a tablet), webcam, headphones and reliable internet.
• Students complete the course requirements during the session and are issued their certificate soon after if they successfully completed their assessments.

Many participants have commented that they actually prefer this delivery method to traditional face-to-face as we limit our class sizes to 8 participants maximum and there are numerous ways in which to interact within the session.

To participate, participants are required to be connected to the internet via desktop computer or a laptop device with a camera, microphone and headphones. Please see the Course Delivery section above for full details of what you require.

If you would like to discuss delivery options in more detail, then please get in contact with us and we would be more than happy to discuss your requirements and options with you.
