(latest NCVER data)In underground metalliferous mines, development drilling sets up each advance, so drillers must check ground conditions, ventilation and misfire risks before a hole is collared; RIIBHD302E Conduct underground development drilling develops the skills to drill, monitor and maintain safely across a shift. For RTOs delivering underground mining qualifications, it fills a gap at the driller level, supported by RIIBHD302E training materials that follow the drilling cycle.
Learners develop skills in confirming shift changeover details, inspecting ground and assessing scaling needs, conducting pre-start checks, controlling dust, drilling and realigning holes to the drill plan, marking misdirected holes, installing collar pipes and completing operator maintenance and handover.
Add underground drilling to your scope with our RIIBHD302E RTO training materials rather than developing technical content internally. Purchase RTO materials and align the RIIBHD302E training resources with your site’s drill plans and equipment.
Your RIIBHD302E training materials provide a prepared foundation for conducting underground development drilling. Purchase RTO materials to reduce development effort and give trainers RIIBHD302E learning materials that move from preparation to housekeeping.
Check the latest unit requirements on training.gov.au before delivery. Your team should contextualise and validate these RIIBHD302E training materials for its learner cohort, delivery model and selected compliance environment. Use the supplied mapping as a starting point when reviewing your RIIBHD302E materials against the Standards for RTOs.
RIIBHD302E Conduct underground development drilling covers conducting underground development drilling in metalliferous mining, including drilling and monitoring operations and setting up and clearing drill sites. It applies to people working in driller roles under minimal supervision.
The unit addresses five core areas:
Learners need to demonstrate drilling in an underground development setting or a suitable environment that meets the unit’s assessment conditions. Your team should confirm access to equipment, supervision and site requirements before enrolment.
Yes. The editable files let your team include manufacturer specifications, pre-start checklists and site procedures for the drilling equipment your learners use.
Yes. Identifying and controlling potential misfires, inspecting ground conditions and assessing scaling requirements are addressed as part of preparing for underground drilling.
Yes. A free sample lets your team review the presentation and structure before you purchase RTO materials for underground drilling delivery.
No. They are developed as compliant learning resources with current training package requirements in mind, but site and legislative requirements vary between states and territories, and your organisation remains responsible for validation.
