Richard’s experience across the mining industry in load and haul

 

Mining Skills Australia believes it is essential to standardise the operator techniques based on the requirements of your mine site.

MSA streamlines the production operators across various mine sites globally to enhance the productivity of our clientele. Our Training specialist, Richard Hunter showcasing his experience at the Rio Tinto – Brockman 2 mine site.

With the ongoing pandemic situation has affected various workplaces, including shortage of mine operators. To fulfill the space, organisations focus on upskilling their workforce.

Mining Skills Australia plays a significant role in minimising the education gap and provides real time information to the miners through the medium of our trainers, resources and eLearning technologies.

The knowledge gained through the years of experience and learning gives an edge to the trainers to impart a new skill to the operators.

There is always room for proficiency and learning opportunities, and this is supported by the encouragement for technologies like Animation and eLearning in addition to the trainer’s knowledge.

The advantage of having the involvement of trainers has a substantial impact on the learning process as they have a “fresh perspective” on operator training.

For instance, the trainers continuously assess the operator’s learning and provide feedbacks, aiding the knowledge transfer.

The trainers representing Mining Skills Australia assist with the increased workload of the company, respectively after upgrading the skills of the operators through their training quality.

Essential and cooperative trainer specialists like Richard Hunter at Mining Skills Australia, shares his experience of knowledge sharing at Rio Tinto – B2 mine site.

One of the major motivating factors for him at the site is encouragement and appreciation from operators at the end of the training session. The learning imparted by Richard, aids the operators by augmenting their knowledge and techniques to operate a machine.

As a result, the productivity, proficiency, and safety of the operator increases at the mine site, increasing efficiency for our clients.

Emergency Management at Mining Skills Australia

   

 

 

Compared to previous times, mining is substantially safer, however, fundamentally it can be challenging and risk to injury to personnel is still something to be conscious of.

With opportunities to potential risks, several operations at various Mine sites within Australia, aim to include Emergency Response Team (ERT) to respond to the dangerous incidents.

The members of the Emergency Response Team are highly skilled and trained to handle any hazardous incidents.

In the Resource Industry, Paramedics established a pivotal role on site as they are the first contact regarding injuries or illness in a mine site.

Mining Skills Australia provides Paramedic services to various mine sites which involves varying responsibilities such as completion of drug and alcohol screening, attending to patient’s needs, liaising with the onsite safety team, escalating matters accordingly and complete any admin related tasks including kit checks and site familiarisation.

In conjunction with the Paramedic services, Mining Skill Australia focuses on providing the training services to the ERT at Mine sites building teams skill sets including First Aid, CPR, Road Crash Rescue, and Hazardous Material Management.

The training services are supported by the theoretical learning as well as hands-on practical with any equipment in numerous scenarios. The emphasis is on learning outcomes and trainer interaction.

Strengthened by training arrangements along with professional interaction by our paramedics, the ERT team on site can enhance their skills in emergency conditions.

In addition to training, the awareness talk by our paramedics explores the experiences of the onsite crews on health and safety concerns.

Overall, the aim of safety maintenance is fulfilled by our proficient team of paramedics.

Mining Skills Australia specialises in providing comprehensive emergency response services in the Resources Industry.

Importance of Scaling in Animation

 

Do you ever wonder how we effortlessly connect to the real world through animation?

Animation enables us to communicate stories in a unique pattern, making humans of any age to understand the idea with ease. Similarly, Mining Skills Australia designs the animations that can be easily connected by an ordinary person.

One important factor in animation is scaling. Our animator’s work with dozens of technical manuals and hundreds of reference images to get the scale of machines right. This means each individual component in each machine is correct, which aids realism in training animations, as well as ensuring complete learner immersion.

Mining Skill Australia adheres to minute details to provide quality services to our clients. Scaling the machine is one such example where we adjust the ratio of the machine’s animation to the actual size of it to provide a real time experience to the users. This in turn means a more accurate scenario when discussing practical situations. Knowledge based immersive learning gives the operator a greater responsibility when understanding the ‘why’ behind each situation, therefore, Mining Skills Australia believes, creates a safer operator and site.

Our aim of quality, proficiency and productivity is achieved with the help of the diligent work done by our animators through their created animations.

At Mining Skills Australia, our reliable team of animators ensures your business requirements are successfully completed by providing an experience of real-world, utilizing their technical expertise.

Comment us on our website and LinkedIn and share your thoughts about the “Scaling in animation”.

Contact Mining Skills Australia today to discuss how scaling enhances the animation and can be utilized within your company or organisation. Connect with us for more information on 07 3556 3982 or email [email protected]

    New Hitachi Excavator EX1200-7BH Training at Ivory Coast

 

Ity Mine in Ivory Coast is an open pit gold mine located 650kms off the coast of Abidjan. Recently, it has received an EX1200-7BH excavator which gives Mining Skills Australia an opportunity to provide them with a trainer/assessor so that the operators on site can be familiarised with the new machinery.

Our newly joined trainer and assessor, Diederick Johannes Dauth Wincento, commenced his training at Ity Mine in Ivory Coast in recent times. Being an experienced trainer and assessor and highly skilled and qualified to operate excavators, loaders, compactors, and dump trucks is certainly qualified to help operators get acquainted with the theory as well as the practical/hands-on components of the machinery.

EX1200-7BH is an operator-friendly machine and possesses the capability to adapt to different operations very quickly. The ergonomic design, multi-functional display and improved climate control system provides an operating environment that reduces fatigue and enhances efficiency. Diederick mentioned that since the machine was brand new, operating the machine was effortless and he thoroughly enjoyed it.

Diederick highlights the theory assessment criteria provided by Mining Skills Australia to be advantageous. The operators in conjunction with Diederick have found the MSA Theory Assessment to be comprehensive and the extensive knowledge they have, has definitely been utilised. This really does emphasise the importance of face-to-face training and it gives the trainers an opportunity to work in new and challenging environments. Diederick’s overall experience, imparting his knowledge to the operators on site has been positive and fruitful.

Mining Skills Australia is happy to support local and global networks and look forward to the success of reaching the knowledge gap for the operators at the Ity mine.
