Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Worker who mines, processes, and transports barite underground or in open-pit mining.
Description
Barite miners perform a series of mining operations—including underground excavation, blasting, rock crushing, ore selection, and loading—based on geological surveys of barite deposits. In addition to operating excavation machinery, heavy equipment, cranes, and forklifts, they efficiently recover and transport resources while considering safety management and environmental conservation. Mines feature harsh environments with dust, noise, high temperatures, and humidity, making strict adherence to safety procedures and teamwork essential.
Future Outlook
Although domestic mining is shrinking in scale, demand for specialists in efficient mining techniques and safety management is expected to continue from the perspectives of stable resource supply and environmental considerations.
