The RIIWHS301E – Conduct Safety and Health Investigations course focuses on the skills and knowledge required to conduct safety and health investigations in the Resources and Infrastructure Industries.

Students learn how to investigate workplace incidents, identify contributing factors and root causes, and recommend actions to prevent recurrence.

Skills developed are relevant to surface and underground mining operations, as well as safety officers, supervisors, managers and workplace safety personnel involved in Drilling, Metalliferous Mining, Coal Mining, Extractive (Quarrying), Manufacturing, Heavy Industry and Civil Construction environments.

Mining is the primary focus, with learning activities, scenarios and assessments based on realistic mining workplace environments and operational practices.

Incident investigation is particularly relevant to high-risk industries. Effective investigations can identify contributing factors, support compliance and inform workplace safety improvements.

Licence & Regulatory Requirements

To maintain competency and comply with legislative requirements, participants are recommended to complete RIIWHS301E – Conduct Safety and Health Investigations refresher training every five years. This helps to ensure personnel remain current with safe work practices, risk management processes, and any changes to legislative or site requirements.

While five years is the industry standard, some mine sites may require more frequent refreshers based on site-specific policies.

For personnel who hold the RIIWHS301E – Conduct Safety and Health Investigations unit as part of a statutory supervisory role or other certificate of competency, completing refresher training within this timeframe supports compliance with the Coal Mining Safety and Health Act 1999, the Mining and Quarrying Safety and Health Act 1999, and s. 84 (1) of the Coal Mining Safety and Health Regulation 2017, which requires the site senior executive to provide refresher training at least once every five years under the mine’s training scheme.

Course Price $200.00

Fees include all assessments and resources needed to complete the course.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is not offered for RIIWHS301E – Conduct safety and health investigations due to the safety-critical nature of the unit.
