Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Clay extraction workers are a profession that mines clay used in construction, pottery, bricks, etc., and performs selection and transportation tasks.
Description
Clay extraction workers excavate clay layers based on soil surveys at quarries or soil extraction sites, and operate heavy machinery such as shovels and backhoes to extract clay. The extracted clay undergoes foreign matter removal and sieving, and after confirming quality, it is transported to factories or sites by dump trucks. They also handle site leveling and slope management, heavy equipment inspections and simple maintenance, safety management, and measures for environmental conservation. The work is mainly outdoors, requiring efficient and safe operations while responding to weather changes and risks associated with heavy machinery operations.
Future Outlook
Although demand for construction materials and environmental materials is stable, due to advances in mechanization and labor-saving efforts, the number of workers is expected to remain flat to gradually decrease.
