The Generic Induction (Qld) or GIQ course is an induction program for the mining and resource industry. It is not intended to replace site and activity specific training. What it is meant to do is provide an awareness of hazards, risks and general controls used in the mining and resources industry. The course is delivered over three days and incorporates six nationally accredited units of competencies, and meets the requirements of Standard 11 under the Coal Mining Safety & Health Act. The six units of competencies that are issued after successful completion of the course are: 1. Conduct local risk control (RIIRIS201A) 2. Communicate in the workplace (RIICOM201A) 3. Apply initial response first aid (RIIERR205A) 4. Respond to local emergencies & incidents (RIIERR302A) 5. Comply with site work systems (RIIGOV201A) 6. Work safely & follow OHS policies & procedures (RIIOHS201A)
