Addressing BHP Billiton’s Safety Training Needs

Fire and Safety Australia North has been working with BHP Billiton – Gemco Groote Eylandt for over four years. The partnership began when BHP Billiton sought a reliable and experienced training provider to deliver safety and emergency response courses across a wide range of topics. The goal was to ensure their teams were trained to the highest standards to safely handle a variety of critical situations, from confined spaces to emergency fire response.

Through this collaboration, BHP Billiton has consistently been able to meet its safety obligations, maintain a highly competent workforce, and ensure that its operations run safely and smoothly. FSA has been instrumental in providing the necessary skills to enhance workplace safety, particularly in high-risk areas such as confined space work and emergency fire response.

Throughout our partnership, FSA has delivered a broad spectrum of training programmes tailored to meet the specific needs of BHP Billiton – Gemco Groote Eylandt. These courses are designed to address the safety risks inherent in their mining and industrial operations. The topics covered include:

Confined Space Entry: Ensuring workers are trained to safely enter and work in hazardous environments.
Fire Safety: Preventing, responding to, and managing fires in various high-risk situations.

Additionally, FSA has supported BHP Billiton with specialised fire training to prepare their Emergency Response Team for the annual Emergency Response competition held in Darwin.
