Understanding disaster events and their causes is crucial to preventing future incidents and improving workplace safety.
The mining industry has faced numerous challenges throughout its history, with disasters leaving a profound impact on workers, communities, and organisations.
As an Approved Training Provider (Approval No. 0004506), the Learning from Disasters training incorporates findings from investigations and reviews of significant mining incidents. By learning from the past, participants contribute to a safer, more responsible mining future.
This program helps mine workers and leaders recognise recurrent patterns of failure, build a safer work culture, and develop strategies to mitigate risks.
The NSW Resources Regulator developed the Learning from Disasters training package to help mine workers learn from historical mining disasters and prevent future incidents.
