MARCSTA is the Mining and Resource Contractors Safety Training Association (a non-profit industry organisation). MARCSTA aims to promote the health, safety and welfare of people involved in mining and exploration operations. MARCSTA developed the MARCSTA General Safety Induction, MARCSTA Underground Induction and MARCSTA Refresher and Reaccreditation Course.

Because the induction is endorsed by industry, you can rely on the level of knowledge about rules and regulations, risks, hazards and work systems. Training is provided only by MARCSTA Licensed Providers who must comply with the strict delivery and assessment standards.

General

As mining (including open pit, drilling and mineral exploration activities) may expose workers to hazards, remote locations and harsh environments, it is good sense to ensure that every person on a site, regardless of their role or experience, is informed and formally assessed to ensure their knowledge about hazards, risks and safe work practices.

This one-day induction ensures that every worker can understand and comply with Mining Acts and Regulations, company rules and safe work practices on site. An induction ensures that employees and employers understand their roles and responsibilities and is a legal requirement under most Mines Safety and/or Occupational Health and Safety Acts and Regulations.

Some sites may require that employees and contractors undertake a site-specific induction.
