RIIMCU405D — Apply and monitor the outburst management plan

Elements & performance criteria

Performance evidence

• locates and applies relevant legislation, documentation, policies and procedures
• implements the requirements, procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient completion of the application and monitoring of the outburst management plan including: accessing and interpreting design criteria for outburst management systems and devices, operating hand held monitoring equipment, accessing and interpreting data from monitoring systems and equipment, interpreting computer spreadsheets and outburst modelling / simulations, accessing and interpreting archival and historical outburst information related to the mine, interpreting outburst training requirement
• works effectively with others to plan, prepare and conduct the application and monitoring of the outburst management plan including: organising work activities to meet all task requirements, communicating clearly and concisely with others to receive and clarify work instructions, complying with written and verbal reporting requirements and procedures, resolving coordination requirements throughout work activities
• demonstrates completion of applying and monitoring the outburst management plan that safely, effectively and efficiently meets all of the required outcomes on more than one (1) occasion including: applying outburst mining management plans procedures for maintaining a safe environment including: hazard identification and quantification, risk assessment, authority and responsibility, controls established to manage identified risks, reporting and communication, document control, audit and review, applying mine atmosphere monitoring methods such as: continuous monitoring, portable (hand held) monitoring, collection of bag samples, gas chromatography, ventilation measurements from all areas of the mine, including sealed area and waste workings

Knowledge evidence

• accessing, interpreting and applying legislative, organization and site requirements and procedures for: developing the requirements and processes of the outburst management plan, applying risk assessment and management processes, identifying and managing environmental issues, hazards and risks, conducting audit and review processes and techniques, applying legislative and statutory requirements for planning and design of mining structures, including: mine plans, ventilation, gas monitoring, strata support and safety management plans
• identifying the systems of mining including: • tunnels, drifts, stone drivage, shaft sinking, pillar extraction, partial extraction, punch mining and fault drivage
• identifying systems of work: including bord and pillar, place changing, longwall, highwall, auger mining, pillar extension, partial extension and punch mining
• identifying factors affecting stability of mining structures including: stress analysis: including mining induced stress and topography
• sedimentology: including subsidence, water bearing strata, permeability of seam and strata, hydrology, physical property testing, caving characteristics, windblast, outburst, gas content and over and underlying strata
• mining structure failure modes
• identifying the mining and general engineering principles relevant to the behaviour of excavations in rock including: geology, hydrogeology, lithology and strata gas characteristics, ground support systems, audit methodologies, geotechnical engineering, excavation engineering, tunnel engineering and shaft sinking, rock mechanics, mine surveying, mining of coal deposits, thermodynamics, exploration techniques
• identifying the impact of differing geological features and conditions on outburst including: • faults, dykes, intrusions and strata deformities
• mine gases: the types and their characteristics, sources, physiological effects and methods of detection
• de-gassing: methods of control, including brattice, auxiliary fans, compressed air venturis, sails, hurdles and bleeders
• the effects of coal seam characteristics on outburst
• identifying and using monitoring systems and techniques including: fixed monitoring systems: types, uses/limitations, design criteria, specifications and design processes, portable monitoring equipment: types, uses/limitations, computer-based systems for outburst analysis, outburst indicators and ratios, methods of control of outburst, processes and techniques for determining alarms and trigger points/levels
• identifying and applying emergency response and evacuation/disaster planning processes and techniques
