Course description

This course is designed to provide students with the ability to recognise generic mine occupational health hazards & to understand the impact they may have on human health if they are not managed to certain standards. Generic hazards include a range of chemical hazards, fatigue, noise, respirable dust, diesel emissions, radiation, light & musculoskeletal conditions. This course provides students with the skills to manage these hazards under a normal operating situation as well as during an emergency response. A case scenario will be utilised for the group assignment & all students will be required to demonstrate active participation in this form of assessment.
