Ventilation Training
A practical mine ventilation course covering airflow requirements, primary and auxiliary ventilation, fans, heat and gas, and monitoring — for underground operations.
The air your operation depends on
Ventilation, from fundamentals to practice
Ventilation keeps underground operations safe, legal and productive. This course builds a practical understanding of mine ventilation — how much air is needed, how it is delivered, and how the system is controlled and monitored.
It covers both primary ventilation networks and auxiliary ventilation at the face, with the heat, gas and compliance considerations that drive design.
Ventilation is a safety system first — get it right and everything underground gets safer and more productive.
What the course covers
Modules
Ventilation fundamentals
Airflow, pressure and resistance — the basics that everything else builds on.
Airflow requirements
Setting air quantity for people, diesel, gas dilution and heat.
Primary ventilation
Network basics, circuits, regulators and how a mine’s primary ventilation is arranged.
Auxiliary ventilation
Ventilating development headings and faces — fans, ducting and practice.
Heat, gas & diesel
Managing heat, diesel particulate and gases to stay safe and compliant.
Monitoring & compliance
Ventilation monitoring, surveys and meeting statutory requirements.
Who should attend
Designed for
- Graduate and early-career mining engineers
- Production and project engineers underground
