The RIIRIS402E Carry out the Risk Management Processes Refresher Course covers the skills and knowledge required to carry out risk management processes in the Coal and Metalliferous mining industries. This competency must be refreshed every 5 years according to the Mining and Quarrying Safety and Health Regulation 2017 and Coal Mining Safety and Health Regulation 2017

This course of study is delivered via distance learning/online. All learning and assessment material will be available to you upon receipt of your enrolment. Assessment is conducted by submitting a portfolio of site evidence demonstrating competency in the relevant field of study, including completing a written theory assessment, submitting two facilitated risk assessments (JSEA’s/WRAC/Bow-Tie, etc.), submitting two completed safety inspections/audits, submitting a Manager’s Testimonial, 100 points of ID and a Statutory Declaration.

Who Needs the G2 Refresher? Frontline Safety Leaders

The G2 Risk Facilitator Online Refresher exclusively targets experienced frontline leaders currently active in the Queensland resources sector. This critical demographic includes seasoned site supervisors, Open Cut Examiners (OCEs), and dedicated safety advisors who require strict ongoing statutory compliance.

Whether you are actively hauling heavy chains past site machinery or leading high-level site safety strategies, you must constantly maintain your operational readiness. We built this specific distance-learning pathway for the dedicated men and women working at the coalface right now. You must already hold a previous G2 competency issued within the last five years to qualify for this rapid renewal process.

Candidates must also secure active access to a working resource site and a current manager. Your Site Senior Executive or direct supervisor must provide a third-party testimonial to verify your ongoing practical capabilities. If you cannot access an operational site to physically complete your mandatory safety audits, you must seek alternative training arrangements.

RIIRIS402E Carry Out the Risk Management Processes

As reflected by the confident, high-vis site leaders and veterans carrying heavy chains in our course visuals, this program completely abandons useless academic fluff. The RIIRIS402E Carry Out the Risk Management Processes syllabus focuses solely on practical tools applied directly at the coal-face. Experienced supervisors must act decisively to isolate catastrophic hazards long before costly incidents occur.

COMPLETION TIME FRAME

• Maximum Enrolment Window: From the day you receive your official training login and materials from OHSA, you have a maximum of six (6) weeks to complete all online modules.

We thoroughly unpack the end-to-end lifecycle of practical site safety. Your comprehensive online training will specifically teach you how to:

• Define the Framework: Establish robust, site-specific risk management processes that hold up in active, heavy-machinery environments.
• Pinpoint Hidden Dangers: Identify critical operational hazards by rigorously analysing site history and real-world precedents.
• Evaluate Thresholds: Assess complex workplace risks using established, mathematically sound industry matrices.
• Target Unacceptable Risks: Isolate unacceptable danger levels and immediately map out decisive intervention actions.
• Execute Control Measures: Aggressively select, implement, and facilitate practical control actions using the standard hierarchy of controls.
• Monitor Frontline Application: Review the ongoing implementation of your chosen safety actions with your operational crew.
• Conduct Rigorous Audits: Audit the entire risk management process to guarantee continuous system improvement.
• Secure Statutory Compliance: Complete all mandatory records and written reports strictly required for future regulatory audits.

This intensive curriculum ensures you can confidently step onto an active site and actively lead risk management processes. You will emerge fully prepared to protect your frontline workforce and to easily justify your safety protocols to your Site Senior Executive.

Strict Eligibility Criteria and Operational Prerequisites

We built this specific distance learning pathway exclusively for active, coal-face personnel. Whether you are a veteran hauling heavy equipment across a site or a dedicated safety supervisor directing daily operations, you must possess current operational experience. We strictly refuse entry to individuals without recent, practical experience in high-risk resource environments.

SITE ACCESS & MANAGER VERIFICATION

• Candidates require active access to a current resource project, such as a coal, metalliferous, drilling, or civil infrastructure site.
• You must prove you actively worked within the resources sector during the past 12 months.
• You must secure a third-party testimonial from your current manager or Site Senior Executive to verify your operational capabilities. If you cannot access an active site or a manager, you must immediately reconsider this distance learning option.

PREVIOUS CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

• You must legally supply evidence of your previous risk facilitation training to qualify for this rapid renewal process.
• Participants must provide a Statement of Attainment, or an equivalent unit issued within the last five years.

PRACTICAL PORTFOLIO OF EVIDENCE

• Real-world competence requires significantly more effort than clicking through an online presentation.
• You will clearly prove your ongoing competency by completing a written theory assessment alongside a practical workplace portfolio.
• You must submit two functional samples of risk management processes that you personally developed or facilitated, utilising established frameworks such as JSEAs, WRACs, SWMS, or Bow-Tie analyses. Furthermore, candidates must provide 100 points of valid photographic identification.

TECHNICAL SETUP

• Distance learning requires a suitable computer, a stable internet connection, and the technical capability to attend video interviews with your trainer if requested.
• We process enrolments and dispatch course logins on the very next business day after weekends or public holidays.
• You have six weeks from the date you receive your enrolment link to submit your assessments.
• Language & Literacy: Students should have basic English literacy to read and understand course materials. They should also have sufficient literacy and numeracy to read and understand workplace safety instructions. The training and assessment will be delivered and assessed in English. Please contact us in advance if you have any language, literacy, or numeracy issues.

• What practical evidence must I submit from my active workplace? To prove your true operational readiness, you must submit a practical portfolio containing two facilitated risk assessments (such as a JSEA, WRAC, or Bow-Tie) and two completed safety inspections or audit reports pulled directly from your workplace.
