Quarry Slope Stability Training - Online Workshop Overview

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.

Geotechnical awareness and skills to recognise and manage potential rock slides and batter collapse hazards are necessary to achieve an acceptable level of risk.  

Quarry Slope Stability Training learning objectives

  • A working understanding of the causes of quarry instability in soils and rocks in quarries.
  • The ability to identify the different types of quarry slope failure.
  • An increased awareness of inspections and risk controls in relation to excavations, overburden dumps, stockpiles and tailings dams.
  • Information on the roles and responsibilities of quarry workers for managing risks associated with geotechnical hazards.
  • Information on the requirements of Principal Hazard Ground Control Management Plans.

Who should attend

The course is particularly relevant to:

  • Quarry Managers
  • Quarry Supervisors
