SafeWork SA’s determination about the competence of a person to be a mine manager will form part of its broader assessment of a mine site. Accordingly, SafeWork SA inspectors will:
- examine and determine mine manager competence against the applicable competency requirements in the WHS Variation Regulations and in any gazette notices. It will consider how the mine operator has satisfied themselves that the mine manager meets these requirements
- inspect the safety management system
- inspect records of any training provided to a worker.
