Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized worker who collects and harvests volcanic ash erupted from volcanic activity and supplies it for construction materials, industrial raw materials, and research purposes.
Description
Volcanic ash collectors collect and sample volcanic ash deposited by volcanic eruptions or weathering at sites, perform quality control and particle size analysis, and provide it for construction materials, industrial raw materials, and research purposes. They understand volcanic activity and terrain, wear safety equipment, and perform outdoor work. In addition to operating heavy machinery for large-scale collection, they may also manually sort fine particles. Since work is conducted at sites with eruption risks, strict safety management and environmental monitoring are essential.
Future Outlook
While demand for volcanic ash as construction materials and industrial raw materials remains stable, automation, mechanization, and remote operation technologies are expected to advance, and proficiency in IoT and data analysis technologies will enhance future value.
