In the ever-evolving landscape of the mining industry, staying current with essential skills and training is not just a matter of professional development; it’s a key aspect of ensuring safety and compliance. As a mine inspector, one of your critical roles is overseeing and auditing the risk management process. This responsibility demands that you are not only equipped with the necessary skills but also up-to-date with the latest training. Let’s delve into why the G2 Upgrade and G2 Refresher courses are crucial for your role.

G2 Upgrade: Sharpening Your Supervisory Skills

Designed for professionals in supervisory roles, the G2 Upgrade is a focused training program that hones your ability to oversee and audit the risk assessment process. This one-day course, covering the competency RIIRIS402E – Carry out the risk management process, ensures that you’re well-prepared to handle the complexities of risk management in mining operations.

What sets the G2 Upgrade apart is its emphasis on practical, applicable skills. Upon successful completion, participants receive a Statement of Attainment, reaffirming their proficiency in this crucial area. However, it’s important to note that prior evidence, such as a previous Statement of Attainment for RIIRIS301E – Apply risk management process, is required for enrolment. This prerequisite underscores the advanced nature of the course and its focus on building upon existing knowledge.

G2 Refresher: Keeping Your Skills Sharp

The mining industry is dynamic, with regulations and best practices continually evolving. This is where the G2 Refresher course becomes indispensable. Legislated for those in supervisory roles, the refresher is a mandatory update every five years, or as specified by the site.

This self-paced, one-day course covers the same competency as the G2 Upgrade – RIIRIS402E – Carry out the risk management process.
