Quarry Slope Stability for Operators training - Online Workshop Overview
The Quarry Slope Stability for Operators online training workshop has been designed to provide participants with foundational knowledge and geotechnical awareness skills to recognise and minimise the potential risk associated with slope instability and rock slides in quarries. The potential for rock slides and slope failures makes working near quarry walls, stockpiles and dump faces a hazardous task. As quarries develop over time, they usually get deeper and the overall slope angle becomes steeper which can increase the risk of rock slides. Stockpiles and waste dumps contain unconsolidated material which can be subject to collapse.
Quarry Slope Stability for Operators training will cover:
- Causes of slope instability
- Signs of slope instability
- How to control slope instability
- Consequences of slope failure
- Slope geometry terminology
Quarry Slope Stability for Operators training Learning Objectives:
- A working understanding of the causes of instability in soils and rocks in quarries.
- The ability to identify the different types of slope failure.
- An understanding of the measures used to control slope instability.
- Awareness of the consequences of slope failure.
Who should attend
The course is particularly relevant to:
- Quarry Operators
