Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Plan and prepare stockpile formations and reclaiming systems
  • 1.1 Access, interpret and apply stockpiling and reclaiming systems documentation and ensure the work activity is compliant
  • 1.2 Analyse and document organisation goals, objectives and strategies for stockpile management
  • 1.3 Investigate and analyse worksite environments, and develop options, strategies and anticipated outcomes
  • 1.4 Evaluate economics and efficiency of the stock piling system options and configurations
  • 1.5 Identify and implement statutory requirements for locating of plant and stockpile
2. Design stockpile configuration
  • 2.1 Design stockpile configuration with appropriate drainage system
  • 2.2 Design reclaim systems to match stockpile configuration
  • 2.3 Match load mechanisms to stockpile requirements
  • 2.4 Design and install dust control measures to ensure correct operations
  • 2.5 Plan and organise, supervision and safety requirements associated with the operation and machine movements
  • 2.6 Ensure a program to satisfy identified stockpiling training requirements is implemented
3. Monitor stockpile operations

  • 3.2 Monitor stockpiling operation including surveying, forming, order, dumping or ramp
  • 3.3 Monitor material removal from stockpile in accordance to Quality Assurance specifications
  • 3.4 Assess and reconcile stock quantities
4. Establish audit and review of systems
  • 4.1 Establish procedures to evaluate and confirm system/equipment compliance with statutory and site requirements
  • 4.2 Ensure future stockpile systems and equipment requirements are identified and assessed and incorporate into planning processes
  • 4.3 Establish procedures to confirm the currency and compliance of stockpile formations and reclaiming systems
  • 4.4 Ensure the system for recording and reporting of stockpile and equipment information is developed and implemented
  • 4.5 Audit the stockpile training program for currency and relevance
  • 4.6 Ensure procedures for incorporating feedback into the audit/review system are developed and implemented
  • 4.7 Audit emergency response and evacuation systems, plans and procedures for compliance with site requirements
