NSW Deputy Coal Mine Practice Exam

What training must workers have before performing high-risk tasks?

Only general induction is required. Adequate induction and task-specific training, competency assessment, and up-to-date permits to work where required. Training is optional. Training is completed after task.

Correct Answer:

Adequate induction and task-specific training, competency assessment, and up-to-date permits to work where required.

Explanation:

Before performing high‑risk tasks, workers must have not only an adequate induction but also task‑specific training, a competency assessment, and up‑to‑date permits to work where required. This combination ensures they know the exact hazards of the task, how to control them, and that their ability to perform the task has been formally verified. General induction covers broad safety topics, but high‑risk tasks have unique risks that require practical confirmation of competence. If training is relied on as optional or only given after the task, essential safety controls would be missing and the worker could be exposed to unnecessary danger.
