Electrical induction for Underground

Beyond the surface — underground safety starts with knowledge.

This Electrical Induction for Underground course is the next step in our electrical safety training pathway — designed specifically for electricians, engineers, apprentices, and electrical workers heading underground. Completion of the Electrical Induction for Mines (General) is a prerequisite for this course.

Built for the complex and high-risk environment of underground coal operations, this course dives deep into the systems, hazards, and protections that define modern underground mining.

Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of:

• Underground coal mine operations and electrical infrastructure
• Outbye systems including conveyor drives, pump systems, and submains
• Development and longwall production equipment (continuous miners, shuttle cars, shearers, AFCs, etc.)
• Auxiliary systems: gas monitoring, underground communications (phones, Wi-Fi), tag boards, telemetry and more
• Typical electrical reticulation systems
• AS/NZS 2081-compliant protection systems including:
  • Earth leakage protection
  • Overload and short-circuit protection
  • Earth continuity monitoring
  • Earth fault lockout
• Electrical Engineering Control Plans and typical processes followed at an underground mine such as restoration of power processes.

From working safely around flameproof enclosures to understanding how integrated protection relays function in a live mining panel, this course ensures you’re not just compliant — you’re confident.

Underground — be prepared, be protected, be qualified.
