WHS Statutory Responsibilities for Mining Supervisors (SRMS)
(Replaces Appointed Persons Section 44 Course)
What is SRMS Training?
This course is designed for supervisors Western Australian mining sector and replaces the previous Appointed Persons (Section 44) Course. It provides participants with a practical understanding of their legal obligations, responsibilities and duties under the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 (WA) and the Work Health and Safety (Mines) Regulations 2022.
Like the former Section 44 training, this is a non-accredited, introductory course. While it does not result in a nationally recognised qualification, it offers a comprehensive overview of key legislative requirements and is valuable preparation for those undertaking statutory supervisor roles — including those preparing for the statutory supervisor legislation exam.
If you require the two Units of Competency required under Schedule 26 for Statutory Supervisor roles, you will need to complete the Statutory Supervisors Training course.
