What is a Mining WHS Statutory Supervisor Course?

The Mining WHS Statutory Supervisor Course is designed to equip Statutory Supervisors in Western Australia with the knowledge and skills required to perform their roles competently and meet the requirements outlined in Schedule 26 of the WHS (Mines) Regulations (WA) 2022.

WHS Foundation’s program is structured to ensure participants gain both the theoretical understanding and practical skills necessary to meet these legislative obligations. The course includes a strong focus on Western Australia’s WHS legislation, which participants will be required to reference throughout the training. To support learning and note-taking, participants are provided with copies of the WHS Act 2020 and the WHS (Mines) Regulations 2022 for use during the course.

Training is delivered in a practical, classroom-based environment, with all assessments completed in class under the guidance of experienced WHS trainers who bring extensive mining industry knowledge and real-world case studies to the learning experience. The course incorporates reflective learning, peer support, and practical application to ensure participants leave with the confidence and competence to apply WHS requirements effectively in their supervisory roles.

Students from all backgrounds are welcome in WHS Foundation courses, where inclusivity, cultural safety, and a sense of belonging are at the heart of our training.
