Process Design

Process design involves identifying all the required tasks in the specific process and documenting all the relevant aspects such as:

  • Task description
  • Sequential information and dependencies
  • RACI – Responsibilities and Accountabilities
  • Interactions
  • Risks and Controls

The process can then be delivered in a complete, consistent and concise set of process controls:

  • Management Plans
  • Procedures
  • Operating Instructions
  • Operating Standards
  • Critical Controls
  • System and Audit Tools

We have developed and implemented complete drill and blast management systems for both surface and underground operations for over 20 operations in Australia and Overseas.

While we’re able to use our existing database of procedural controls, the development of a good quality management system does require significant effort and support from site resources.

Risk Assessment

All levels of risk assessment including:

  • Bow Tie Analysis for underpinning risk assessment
  • WRAC and JSA support
  • Specific risk assessments on misfire recovery, blast design and execution, storage and transport activity.

Storage Design and Compliance

We have completed a number of assessments for Explosives and Precursor storages to support applications for licensing in Australia and Overseas.

This covers risk and operability studies as well as facility design and emergency planning.

USI Information

Students undertaking nationally recognised VET courses are required to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). You can apply for your USI at www.usi.gov.au.

The USI is a reference number that is required if you are a new or continuing student undertaking accredited vocational study at BMI.

Who does the government require to have a USI?

You need a USI if you are undertaking a Nationally Recognised Training.  Without one, you will not be able to get your qualification unless you are undertaking a BMI course outside of Australia as an International Student.

When will you need to provide your USI to BMI?

You will need to have your USI on hand when completing the online enrolment form as part of the enrolment process at commencement of training.
