(latest NCVER data)In underground coal and metalliferous mines, ventilation, gas and reactive ground add extra risk to every blast; RIIBLA202F Support underground shotfiring operations develops the support skills needed to prepare the site and help load explosives safely. For RTOs delivering underground mining programs, it fills a gap where site-based workers assist shotfirers, and RIIBLA202F training resources give that delivery a ready structure.
Learners develop skills in applying blasting documentation and shift briefings, securing and isolating the blast site, confirming holes match the blast plan, flushing and testing holes, managing reactive ground, transporting, loading and stemming explosives and completing muck out and clean-up.
Start with our RIIBLA202F RTO training materials rather than developing underground blasting content internally. Purchase RTO materials and adapt the RIIBLA202F training materials to your mine’s ventilation, gas monitoring and shotfiring procedures.
Inside the RIIBLA202F training materials is a prepared foundation for supporting underground shotfiring at the blast site. Purchase RTO materials to cut preparation time and give trainers organised RIIBLA202F training resources from the outset.
Check the latest unit requirements on training.gov.au before delivery. Your team should contextualise and validate these RIIBLA202F training materials for its learner cohort, delivery model and selected compliance environment. Use the supplied mapping as a starting point when reviewing your RIIBLA202F materials against the Standards for RTOs.
RIIBLA202F Support underground shotfiring operations covers providing support at the blast site during underground shotfiring operations. It applies to people in site-based roles in the coal mining and metalliferous mining sectors.
The unit addresses five core areas:
The tasks are built around supporting shotfiring at an underground blast site on at least two occasions. They are developed as compliant learning resources, but assessors should confirm that site access, supervision and safety arrangements are in place before assessment.
Yes. The editable files allow your team to include site gas limits, ventilation arrangements and explosion inhibitor procedures where contextualisation is permitted.
Yes. The content addresses underground support work across both sectors, and trainers can emphasise the sector-specific hazards, such as flammable dust or reactive ores, that apply to each cohort.
Yes. Lifetime updates are available under the applicable product terms, so qualifying updates to these RTO resources can be accessed without repurchasing.
Yes. A free sample lets your team review structure and presentation before you purchase RTO materials.
