Statutory Supervisor Course

The Statutory Supervisor course in Western Australia is designed for individuals working in supervisory and management roles within the mining industry who are expected to meet the requirements of Schedule 26 of the WHS (Mines) Regulations 2022. This includes those who will be appointed to statutory supervisor positions or those who need to understand the responsibilities of a supervisor in a mining environment.

The Statutory Supervisor course equips participants with the ability to interpret and apply the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 (WA), understand their legal responsibilities, and implement WHS policies and procedures in line with industry regulations.

Participants learn to:

• Communicate effectively about health and safety,
• Promote a strong safety culture,
• Identify training needs within their teams,
• Hazard identification, risk assessment, and the maintenance of accurate WHS records to support safe mining operations.

Graduates will be prepared to meet Statutory Supervisor eligibility requirements under the WHS (Mines) Regulations 2022 and pass the relevant LGIRS legislation exam.

Common Statutory Supervisor Positions on a Mine Site who are responsible for implementing WHS policies, identifying hazards, supervising workers, and ensuring all safety procedures are followed in their designated area, inclusive of:

• General Area Supervisors

Information is presented to students via a combination of structured tutorials, workshops, case studies, video, practical assignments and workplace application.

Individual and group work activities and assessment activities are conducted throughout the course.

The trainers and assessors responsible for delivering our course are accredited experts in their respective fields. They hold the requisite qualification to deliver this course and meet the relevant professional experience requirements in line with the 2025 Standards Credential Policy.

CORE Training Group is an RTO accredited to deliver, in line with the Department of Local Government, Industry Regulation and Safety (LGIRS) requirements, the two units of competency necessary for Statutory Supervisors holders:

• BSBWHS411 Implement and monitor WHS policies, procedures and programs, and
• BSBWHS414 Contribute to WHS risk management.

CORE Training Group is committed to providing inclusive and supportive training to all students. As part of this, we aim to ensure prospective students have the language, literacy, numeracy and digital (LLND) skills required to successfully participate in their chosen course.

An LLND test can be administered for students who are unsure about returning to study or want to better understand their current skill level in relation to their prosed course. This helps us identify whether additional support or adjustment may be beneficial and ensures the course is a good fit for the student’s needs.

In context of training delivered by CORE Training Group, and specifically this course, we incorporate digital technology into our training resources, in line with training package expectations. We strongly recommend that students not use AI in this particular course, as at the course foundation is a need for participants to find legislative references, physically, within in a book, in order to pass the LGIRS exam for Statutory Supervisors.

We recognise that students come from diverse backgrounds, with varying levels of ability, previous education, and life experience. CORE Training Group provides flexible and culturally responsive learning environments that are inclusive of all learners and encourage open conversations about learning needs during the enquiry or enrolment process.

To complete the course, participants are required to successfully undertake practical assessments and written assessments. Assessment details will be provided with course materials. Assessment due date – as agreed with the learner and outlined within the training and assessment plan.

A nationally recognised Statement of Attainment will be issued following successful completion of this course and can be used to seek credit transfer towards achieving an Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualification.

Assessment for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a comprehensive audit of your skills, former education, employment history and other abilities, which may be conducted using a variety of tools inclusive of comprehensive portfolio of evidence, questions and written scenarios or gap training to substantiate and support your claim for RPL.

More detailed information about the RPL process will be provided before enrolment by one of our training assessors. During this process, you and your assessor will determine if there is a need for any additional training. If required, this can be achieved through the completion of individual units, which may incur an additional fee.
