Site Senior Executive
In New Zealand, mining operations are regulated under the Health and Safety at Work (Mining Operations and Quarrying Operations) regulations. These regulations require SSEs to hold a current certificate of competence and carry significant responsibilities for health and safety systems and principal hazard management at a mine.
A course for SSEs often aligns with the competency requirements needed to attain or maintain that certificate of competence, and provides industry-relevant training on how to meet these legal and operational responsibilities.
Here are the main reasons people pursue it:
- Builds a clear understanding of legal duties and liabilities as an SSE.
- Develops skills to lead a strong safety culture.
- Enhances the ability to identify, assess, and control site risks.
- Demonstrates commitment to professional development.
- Improved site performance leads to fewer disruptions, lower incident-related costs, with higher productivity and morale.
- Clearer roles and accountability.
- Strengthens qualifications for senior management or executive roles.
