Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized worker who mines olivine sand from olivine deposits, transports it, performs primary processing, and manages quality.
Description
Olivine sand miners extract sand-like mineral resources from deposits containing olivine (olivine), operating heavy machinery for mining, loading onto dump trucks, and performing primary processing such as crushing and screening. At mining sites, they strictly manage safety, dust control, and environmental conservation. The obtained olivine sand is used as industrial materials such as foundry sand, refractory materials, and filter media. Quality inspections check particle size and impurity content to ship products that meet standards. The job involves extensive outdoor heavy machinery operation and movement, requiring the ability to work efficiently and safely in a team.
Future Outlook
Demand for foundry sand and filter materials remains stable, but is susceptible to resource prices and environmental regulations. In the future, with advances in automation and mechanization, advanced machinery operation and quality control skills will be required.
