What are Statutory Positions?

Under WHS regulations, mine operators must appoint appropriately qualified individuals to the statutory positions listed in Schedule 26 of the Work Health and Safety (Mines) Regulations 2022. For a full list of approved WHS risk management units for statutory positions, refer to the relevant government guidelines here.

Does Schedule 26 replace Section 44?

  1. Complete and submit the online assessment, which is marked by your course facilitator (trainer/assessor).
  2. Receive a Statement of Attainment for the completed Units of Competency.

“I completed the Preparation course, the following day I sat the DEMIRS SSE Law exam and passed with ease. I had done very little study prior due to my busy schedule and found the preparation course very beneficial to my result. I would recommend this course to anyone and mostly to those who are time deficient.

Thanks team, appreciate the support and quality course delivery.”

“After completing the Statutory Supervisors course and Statutory Mining course, I had all the knowledge required to confidently undertake the DEMIRS Legislative Exam.

Future Institute was very professional in arranging my training, the facilitator was excellent, and the course was interesting and engaging with assessments commenced within the course.

If you haven’t undertaken your training to comply with Schedule 26 yet, I can highly recommend the team at Future Institute of Australia.
