Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design stockpile formations and reclaiming systems in coal mining, metalliferous mining and extractive industries. It involves designing stockpile configurations, drainage and reclaiming systems and establishing and implementing dust control measures.The unit applies to those working in management or technical specialist roles. They generally monitor a broad range of operational activities in their area of responsibility and are responsible for monitoring a safe work environment.Licensing, legislative and certification requirements that apply to this unit can vary between states, territories and industry sectors. Users must check requirements with relevant body before applying the unit.
Notes
