Workshop Overview
The Slope Stability for Operators 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 falls. The potential for rockfalls 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 rockfalls. Stockpiles and waste dumps contain unconsolidated material which can be subject to collapse.
The course will cover:
- Causes of slope instability
- Signs of slope instability
- How to control slope instability
- Consequences of slope failure
- Slope geometry terminology
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 recommended for:
- Quarry Operators
- Quarry/Pit Supervisors
- Leafing/General Hand
Facilitator | Josef Major
Josef is a seasoned professional in the field of engineering geology, with a focus primarily on construction materials and slope stability, areas where he has amassed considerable knowledge and experience. He has an exceptional ability to communicate complex geological and geotechnical information effectively, and is passionate about training and mentoring the upcoming generation. Josef holds qualifications in civil engineering and geology, which he achieved while working as a machine operator and as a soil tester in a quarry.
