(latest NCVER data)Every surface blast relies on support crew who check holes against the plan, handle explosives correctly and help secure the blast area before firing. RIIBLA201E Support shotfirer operations focuses on that support role, and RTOs offering civil construction, open cut mining or extractive programs can deliver it with RIIBLA201E learning materials as their base.
Learners develop skills in interpreting blasting documentation and site data, testing explosives and accessories, checking blast holes for depth, blockages and water, transporting explosives on the shot site, securing the blast area, priming, loading, stemming and tying in and completing site clean-up and records.
Give your team our RIIBLA201E RTO training materials instead of building explosives handling content from scratch. Purchase RTO materials and use the RIIBLA201E training resources as a clear framework for supervised blast site tasks.
Your RIIBLA201E RTO training materials bring together learner content, trainer support and assessment documents for supporting shotfiring operations. Purchase RTO materials and start with RIIBLA201E learning materials that are ready for site-specific contextualisation.
Check the latest unit requirements on training.gov.au before delivery. Your team should contextualise and validate these RIIBLA201E training materials for its learner cohort, delivery model and selected compliance environment. Use the supplied mapping as a starting point when reviewing your RIIBLA201E materials against the Standards for RTOs.
RIIBLA201E Support shotfirer operations covers the support tasks carried out at a blast site in civil construction, open cut coal and metalliferous mining, drilling and extractive operations. It applies to operational workers who work under supervision and take some responsibility for the quality of their work.
The unit addresses five core areas:
The resources cover the unit content, but licensing and certification requirements for shotfiring work vary between states, territories and sectors. Your team should confirm the requirements that apply to your learners and add jurisdiction-specific information during contextualisation.
The Session Plan, slides and Classroom Activities let trainers cover explosives types, blast hole checks and charging sequences before supervised site work begins. This helps learners arrive at the blast site with the underpinning knowledge they need.
Yes. The unit applies across civil construction, open cut mining, drilling and extractive sectors, and the editable files let your team add blast plans and procedures from the setting you deliver in.
No. They are developed as compliant learning resources with training package requirements in mind, but your organisation should still review and validate them before use. Assessors should also confirm that site access supports evidence on at least two occasions.
Free samples show the layout, depth and assessment approach used across these RTO resources. Your team can review them before deciding to purchase.
