S11 INDUCTION

Posted by Ali Tariq on April 21st, 2021

You may have been searching for jobs related to mining and noticed that many ask for an S11 Induction as a requirement for the job but what is an S11 Induction?

To explain it in easy-to-understand terms it is the mining equivalent of a Construction White Card where you learn certain rules, regulations, and safety requirements specific to mining.

This course has been created as a generic course as each mine site will have specific rules for their site so once employed on a specific site, you will be required to complete their site-specific induction.

SO WHAT WILL YOU LEARN IN THE S11 INDUCTION?

The training course is designed to give you the best chance at kick-starting your mining career and covers:-

  • Occupational Health and Safety
  • Emergency escape procedures
  • First Aid
  • Hazard Management
  • Risk assessment
  • Safety documentation
  • Record keeping
  • Reporting
  • Site standard procedures
  • Fire fighting theory
  • Working around vehicles and machinery
  • Communications
  • Team operations
  • Mining terminology
  • Isolation and Tagging
  • Atmospheric testing

The actual units covered in this course are:
