The Resources Regulator, in consultation with the Mining and Petroleum Competence Board, has made improvements to the requirements for maintenance of competence.
These include:
- eligible learning types are now ‘formal learning’ and ‘informal learning’
- the requirement for learning objectives to be obtained from the training provider is no longer mandatory
- mining, electrical and mechanical engineering managers/engineers complete the requirements for their statutory function for one class of mine
- the recommended logbook has been revised.
Details of the revised requirements have been published in the Government Gazette (PDF, 137.7 KB) and the Maintenance of competence for practising certificates guide (PDF, 867.42 KB) has been updated to reflect the changes.
A webinar will be held on 15 September 2020 to update stakeholders on the changes and recent developments.
