S11 Refresher
Course Overview
The S11 Refresher, commonly associated with the Standard 11 or Generic Induction, focuses on the fundamental safety knowledge and procedures required when working within the mining industry.
Standard 11 training covers the workplace safety protocols, responsibilities and procedures commonly encountered across mining operations. While individual mine sites may also require workers to complete their own site-specific inductions, Standard 11 provides broader training in the safety principles applicable across the industry.
The course covers important areas including workplace health and safety, hazard identification, risk assessment, workplace communication, first aid and emergency response.
Participants also develop an understanding of practical mine-site requirements such as completing safety documentation, interpreting site safety signage, following workplace procedures and maintaining personal safety and wellbeing.
