Project Description

Energy Australia (formerly known as Tru Energy) site at Yallourn comprises the Yallourn W Power Station and the Yallourn Coal Mine. The facility is located in the Latrobe Valley, approximately 150km south east of the city of Melbourne.

  • Provision of first aid and occupational health service through a 24 hour medical centre. Service includes general health checks such as audiometric testing and blood pressure monitoring

  • Specialist industrial rescue service provided to all areas of the facility and includes high angle, confined space and mine rescue
  • Inspection and testing of fixed and portable suppression systems
  • Training to ensure all Energy Australia personnel are familiar with extinguisher operations, evacuation procedures, dangerous goods, first-aid level one and basic firefighting
