This training program was developed in response to a client request to provide new starters at NSW Underground Coal Sites with the knowledge and skills to operate safely in an underground workplace.

Those wishing to apply for the SGS Stax’s Card for BHP Billiton Collieries in Wollongong and the SGS Swipe Card for Metropolitan Colliery at Helensburg will complete relevant forms and we will send these to SGS in Wollongong. SGS will not release these cards until they have a copy of your industry medical from Coal Services Health.

This medical can only be arranged by an employer and is conducted in all NSW Mining districts

Those who do not have an employer will have their information kept at SGS until the Medical certificate is obtained. SGS will bill the applicant individually for his / her card

Validity:
This induction is designed for people who are about to start working in the NSW Underground Mining Industry. The Self Escape component of the course is valid for 6 months at Centennial, Anglo and some Xstrata Mines and a 2 hour refresher is required

The entire course is valid for 12 months when a 1 day refresher is required.

If a person has not been working in an Underground Coal Mine environment then a pre course assessment must be completed and 100% achieved.

Failure to achieve 100% may indicate that a complete 4 day Induction training program may need to be undertaken to have the South Coast cards reissued.
