The MPQC (Mineral Products Qualification Council), the recognised training provider for the extractives, mineral processing and related manufacturing industries, has launched the MPQC Contractor Safety Passport Scheme.
The scheme differs in a number of key areas compared with the previous quarrying schemes.
With contractor safety being an industry priority, the MPQC Contractor Safety Passport provides vital basic knowledge and awareness of generic and particularly industry-specific hazards, and therefore provides a fundamental foundation of safety for contractors entering industry sites.
The training materials have been developed jointly with employers and industry associations to ensure the scheme fully meets industry expectations. All trainers have industry experience, are occupationally competent and will be subject to a thorough ongoing quality-assurance scheme. Trainees will receive a formal assessment of knowledge at the end of each day.
