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.
