Mining Operator Speed Test Program

The mining operator speed test is part of the operational control and occupational safety program conducted periodically. This activity aims to ensure that every heavy equipment operator possesses the ability to control units safely, efficiently, and in accordance with the company’s established operational standards.

The implementation of the speed test serves as a preventive measure to minimize the potential for workplace accidents caused by operating heavy equipment at speeds unsuitable for field conditions. In addition, this program aims to assess operators’ competency in managing acceleration, deceleration, unit maneuvering, and their ability to interpret and respond to mining site conditions.

The speed test program is carried out in designated areas and is directly supervised by the safety team and operational supervisors. The assessment method involves simulations of actual working conditions, with evaluation parameters including compliance with speed limits, unit control, maneuver accuracy, and awareness of surrounding workplace safety.

The results of the speed test implementation indicate an improvement in operators’ ability to control units in a stable and safe manner. There has also been increased compliance with operational standards and established speed limits. This has positively contributed to reducing potential workplace incidents and enhancing mining operational efficiency.

The company remains committed to consistently implementing the speed test program as part of its workplace safety culture. Evaluation results will serve as the basis for improving operator competency through advanced training, technical coaching, and strengthened implementation of standard operating procedures.
