Tutoring for SSE's Exam

On 31 March 2009 the Coal Mining Safety and Health Advisory Committee determined that all persons appointed as a site senior executive (SSE) under the Coal Mining Safety and Health Act 1999 are required to demonstrate to the Board of Examiners their knowledge of the current Queensland coal mining legislation by undertaking a written examination ("the SSE examination") before appointment to the role.

Holding a Notice from the Board of Examiners of compliance with this requirement is a prerequisite to taking up duties as an SSE. This includes 'acting' as a SSE.

From 30 November 2009 all persons appointed to a SSE role must either:

(a) hold a Notice from the Board of Examiners that they have successfully demonstrated to the Board their knowledge of Queensland coal mining legislation by undertaking a written examination on the Coal Mining Safety and Health Act 1999 and the Coal Mining Safety and Health Regulation 2001 ("the current legislation"); or

(b) hold a Notice from the Board of Examiners that they are exempt from sitting the SSE examination.

Exemptions: For full exemption details please visit DME website http://www.dme.qld.gov.au/mines/coal_mining_site_senior_executive_examination.cfm
