(latest NCVER data)RIIBLA303E Conduct underground development shotfiring prepares experienced operators to plan, charge and fire development blasts that advance underground metalliferous workings safely and to design. RTOs offering metalliferous mining qualifications can use it to train shotfirers for development headings, supported by RIIBLA303E learning materials.
Learners develop skills in interpreting blasting management plans, arranging surveys, calculating patterns and loading, supervising explosives storage and transport, setting up charging equipment, supervising loading, testing accessories, establishing exclusion zones, firing and completing post-blast checks and equipment maintenance.
Give your team our RIIBLA303E RTO training materials rather than developing underground development blasting resources internally. Purchase RTO materials and adapt the RIIBLA303E training materials to your mine’s development cycle.
Your RIIBLA303E RTO training materials bring together learner content, trainer support and assessment documents for underground development shotfiring. Purchase RTO materials to reduce preparation time and start with RIIBLA303E learning materials ready for contextualisation.
Check the latest unit requirements on training.gov.au before delivery. Your team should contextualise and validate these RIIBLA303E training materials for its learner cohort, delivery model and selected compliance environment. Use the supplied mapping as a starting point when reviewing your RIIBLA303E materials against the Standards for RTOs.
RIIBLA303E Conduct underground development shotfiring focuses on conducting underground development shotfiring in metalliferous mining, including supervising the storage and transport of explosives, conducting blasts and carrying out post-blast activities. It applies to operational workers who use discretion and judgement under minimal supervision.
The unit addresses five core areas:
Yes, provided learners have relevant underground experience. The Learner Guide and Classroom Activities build up planning, charging and firing knowledge in sequence, and trainers can add support where learners need it.
The tasks are designed around conducting development shotfiring on at least two occasions, including post-blast activities and equipment maintenance. They are developed as compliant learning resources, but assessors should confirm workplace access and supervision before enrolment.
Yes. The files are editable, so your team can include site face layouts, loading plans and reporting procedures where contextualisation is permitted.
No. The unlimited student licence lets the purchasing organisation use these RTO resources with all enrolled learners, subject to the applicable licence conditions.
Yes. Free samples let your team check layout and depth before you purchase RTO materials.
