Abstract
[Abstract]: Training is of significant importance within the Australian mining industry and is affected by many factors including the ageing workforce, high levels of employee turnover and the current skills shortage, enhanced by the global commodities boom fuelling the
mining industry.
This dissertation outlines the design, development, implementation and evaluation of an electrical training package for the Mining Area C Iron Ore deposit operated by
HWE Mining in Western Australia. This involved research into training within the Australian mining industry and HWE Mining as well as stakeholder consultation to identify and select the components of the electrical training system.
The development, implementation and evaluation of selected training material highlighted the effectiveness of a site specific training system comprised of on-the-job and simulated theoretical and practical components. The continuation of this process to develop the remaining material will provide significant benefits to the mining operation and its employees in the form of reduced plant downtime, reduced turnover, ongoing employee development and positive reinforcement of a training culture within the organisation. The potential for this training package to be adapted to other disciplines within the organisation has been identified and the ongoing evaluation process will
provide a strong basis for such projects.
