(latest NCVER data)In underground metalliferous mines, production blasts break the ore that keeps the operation running, so charging errors or misfires can affect both safety and output; RIIBLA304E Conduct underground production shotfiring develops the skills to plan and fire these blasts correctly. It suits RTOs building metalliferous mining pathways that need an advanced shotfiring unit, using RIIBLA304E training materials as the delivery base.
Learners develop skills in interpreting blast plans and survey data, calculating patterns and loading, supervising explosives storage and transport, preparing and charging holes, supervising blast personnel, tying in, establishing exclusion zones, firing, monitoring blasts and managing misfires and post-blast activities.
Choose our RIIBLA304E RTO training materials and skip developing production blasting resources from scratch. Purchase RTO materials and give assessors RIIBLA304E training resources prepared for a high-consequence unit.
Inside the RIIBLA304E training resources is a prepared foundation for conducting underground production shotfiring. Purchase RTO materials to start with RIIBLA304E training materials your team can align to its stoping methods and blast procedures.
Check the latest unit requirements on training.gov.au before delivery. Your team should contextualise and validate these RIIBLA304E training materials for its learner cohort, delivery model and selected compliance environment. Use the supplied mapping as a starting point when reviewing your RIIBLA304E materials against the Standards for RTOs.
RIIBLA304E Conduct underground production shotfiring covers conducting underground production 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 undertake skilled work under minimal supervision.
The unit addresses five core areas:
They focus on production blasting, including delayed blasts, larger charging operations and the management of misfires in production areas. Trainers can add site examples to reflect the stoping methods used in their partner mines.
Learners need access to production shotfiring on at least two occasions, including post-blast activities and equipment maintenance. The tools are developed as compliant learning resources, but your team should confirm site agreements before delivery.
Yes. The editable files let your team add site blast plans, initiation systems and reporting forms where contextualisation is permitted.
Yes. Lifetime updates are available under the applicable product terms, giving access to qualifying updates for these RTO resources without repurchasing.
Yes. A sample lets your team review the style and depth of the resources before purchasing.
