Quarry Operator

Operators have a duty of care to follow organisation procedures and safe work practices, and carry out their work in a manner which does not cause harm to themselves or others. They must have a fundamental understanding of quarry operations, and the risks and hazards associated with their work tasks.

Operators who aspire to progress into supervisory roles must demonstrate leadership and role-model behaviour in line with organisational culture and expectations.
