Courses Built for the Mining Workforce
From mandatory white card to specialist safety credentials — every course is designed for the demands of FIFO work in Western Australia's resources sector.
Our Full Training Catalogue
Each course is delivered by experienced industry trainers and produces formal certification recognised by major WA mine operators and their labour hire suppliers.
White Card — CPCWHS1001
The nationally recognised general construction and mine site induction card. Mandatory for entry to any WA mine site or civil construction project. We deliver this in fast-tracked intensive formats aligned with FIFO roster schedules, with full compliance documentation on completion.
Site Induction & Access Training
Operator-specific and generic FIFO site induction training that prepares workers for the entry requirements and site safety standards of major WA mine operations. Includes site rules, emergency procedures, communication protocols, and environmental obligations.
Hazard Identification & Risk Control
Structured competency training in identifying workplace hazards, conducting risk assessments, and implementing control measures under the hierarchy of controls. Aligned with WA Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1994 and AS/NZS 31000 risk management principles.
Provide First Aid — HLTAID011
Nationally accredited first aid certification including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), wound management, and response to common medical emergencies. Delivered with specific content for remote and fly-in fly-out environments where immediate professional medical response may not be available.
FIFO Wellbeing & Mental Health Awareness
Evidence-based awareness training addressing the mental health and wellbeing challenges specific to FIFO workers — social isolation, relationship strain, and the psychological toll of extended remote rosters. Participants learn practical self-management strategies and how to support workmates in difficulty.
Fatigue Management for FIFO Rosters
Practical training on recognising and managing fatigue in the context of extended FIFO rosters, night shift operations, and high-temperature working environments. Covers the physiological basis of fatigue, behavioural warning signs, and risk-reduction strategies for supervisors and workers.

Targeted WHS compliance training for supervisors and leading hands covering legislative obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 (WA), Safe Work Method Statement development, incident reporting duties, and workplace inspection procedures.
Dangerous Goods Awareness
Awareness-level training in the storage, handling, and transport of dangerous goods and hazardous materials commonly found on WA mine sites — including fuel, chemicals, and explosives awareness. Aligned with the Dangerous Goods Safety Act 2004 (WA).
Heat Stress & Working in Extreme Conditions
Practical training for working safely in the extreme heat conditions characteristic of the Pilbara and Goldfields regions — heat illness recognition, hydration protocols, acclimatisation procedures, and supervisor obligations for managing heat risk on site.
LOTO & Isolation Procedures
Lock-out tag-out (LOTO) and energy isolation training covering electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and thermal energy sources. Aligned with WA mine safety procedures and major mine operator standards for plant and equipment isolation.
Emergency Response & Evacuation
