The course focus is on the importance of supervising dust and noise control in the resources and infrastructure industries. This focus includes interpreting and applying documentation required to supervise dust and noise control as well as planning and implementing control measures, work practices and monitoring processes. Candidates undertaking training in this course will gain an understanding of the training needs of individuals, rectify and report actual/potential dust and noise problems promptly, decisively and make recommendation for improvements.
Candidates undertaking this course are typically experienced mine workers at supervisory level. Candidates may also be Senior or Statutory position holders in the management structure for the mine who are responsible for dust and noise control in the workplace.
This course is specifically designed for Supervisors, Open Cut Examiners, Safety and Health Advisors, or individuals transitioning into these roles. These professionals are responsible for managing the quality and quantity of their work, as well as overseeing others by providing instruction and supervision related to the application of the Safety and Health Management System, with a particular focus on dust and noise control at the mine site.
Effective supervision of dust and noise control offers numerous advantages, including improved health and safety for workers, compliance with industry regulations, reduced environmental impact, and enhanced community relations. By mastering these skills, supervisors help create safer, cleaner, and more sustainable work environments.
Supervising dust and noise control involves applying and monitoring the safety and health management system (SHMS) at the mine site in accordance with the company-specific PHMP for Airborne Dust or any other airborne contaminants, the Hazard Management Plan for Dust (as required Coal Mining Safety and Health Regulations 2017 – regulation 89) and Hazard Management Plan for Noise (as required Coal Mining Safety and Health Regulations 2017 – regulation 91).
Candidates undertaking training in this course are working at supervisory level or above. These people are responsible for the quality and quantity of the work they perform and oversee others by providing instruction and supervision to those involved in mining activities. This type of candidate works at Supervisory Level – is a hands-on person and is required to access, share plan and implemented company-specific site requirements.

The use of aXcelerate learning management system (LMS) has streamlined and optimised our educational operations. Below is an overview of assessment methods utilised:
Upon successful completion, you will receive a Statement of Attainment for:
RIIENV401E Supervisor dust and noise control.
This credential recognises that you have met the required competencies outlined by the nationally endorsed training package. By earning this unit of competency, you demonstrate the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively establish and maintain risk management systems in the mining industry.
Credit Transfer refers to the formal recognition of units of competency or qualifications that you have previously achieved through any Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in Australia. If you have already completed a unit identical or equivalent you may be eligible to apply for a credit transfer. To do so, you’ll need to provide:
Valid Evidence – A statement of attainment or official transcript showing the unit code and title.
Proof of Equivalency – The unit must match or be recognised as equivalent to the one in the course, as determined by current training package rules.
If approved, you will not need to repeat training or assessment for that particular unit, potentially reducing your overall study load and completion timeframe. If you have any questions regarding the credit transfer process, our team will be happy to provide guidance and support.
Mine Training Solutions offers Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) assessment pathways for all of our nationally recognised units of competency and qualifications. If you already have the skills, knowledge and workplace experience required for a unit of competency, you may be eligible to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning.
Our RPL assessments are designed around the requirements of each nationally recognised unit of competency, ensuring your existing skills and knowledge are assessed fairly, consistently, and against the relevant industry and training package requirements.
What’s included in an RPL Kit?
Each RPL Kit has been developed specifically for the unit of competency and includes:
Assessment Outcome
Your completed RPL submission is reviewed by a qualified and appointed Mine Training Solutions Assessor. Where additional clarification or evidence is required, you may be asked to participate in a Competency Conversation or provide further supporting documentation before an assessment decision is made.
Recognition of Prior Learning is not an automatic recognition of previous employment, years of experience or prior job roles. It is a formal assessment process that determines whether you can demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to meet the requirements of the nationally recognised unit of competency.
Not sure if RPL is right for you?
Contact Mine Training Solutions to discuss your qualifications, training and workplace experience. We’ll help you determine whether Recognition of Prior Learning is the most appropriate assessment pathway or whether another training option would better suit your needs.
At Mine Training Solutions, workplace-based learning is designed to integrate seamlessly with your daily operations, ensuring that training enhances rather than disrupts your workflow. Our workplace base approach allows participants to apply, implement and maintain the company-specific safety and health management system in real-time, fostering immediate practical understanding and reinforcing learning through actual job tasks.
Training schedules can accommodate shift work and different team schedules, allowing all relevant personnel to participate without impacting productivity. The workplace activities that candidates engage in directly contribute to the application and implementation of the company’s Safety and Health Management System (SHMS). This approach provides positive outcomes not only for the candidates, enhancing their skills and knowledge, but also for the business, fostering a safer work environment and improving overall operational efficiency.
Learning in the workplace promotes collaboration and knowledge sharing among team members, strengthening your organisation’s safety culture and operational resilience. By choosing workplace-based training with Mine Training Solutions, you ensure that your team gains relevant, actionable skills that directly contribute to a safer and more efficient mining operation.
The Mine Training Solutions workplace activities will require third parties—such as senior and statutory position holders (content experts/mentors)—to verify practical skill demonstrations for specific activities and provide feedback based on their observations of the candidate performing these tasks.
Feedback from third parties is a vital component of our assessment process. These ‘Third Parties’ are experienced individuals competent in the tasks candidates are asked to perform. They provide mentoring, guidance, and constructive feedback. The involvement of third parties promotes effective communication and consultation within the mining industry, which is fundamental for the application, implementation, and ongoing maintenance of the mine’s Safety and Health Management System.
In addition:
The integration of third parties into the training and assessment framework at Mine Training Solutions is essential for delivering high-quality vocational training. Their role not only aids in verifying candidate’s skills but also emphasises the importance of communication, safety, and continuous improvement within the mining sector.
This is a self-paced program that can typically be completed over 2-3 days (excluding reading and research time). However, participants have a total enrolment period of 8 weeks to accommodate shift work and other commitments. Extensions are available upon request.
