The Basic Mill Process Operator – Mineral Ore Common Core Program #810050 was developed by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.

It has been developed with cooperative efforts from the MTCU, in consultation with representatives from industry.

The program consists of 4 basic mill common core modules and 10 groups of specialty modules. NORCAT performs the first 4 modules (Section 1) as they are the core minimum modules for entry to a mill:

• U3430 Follow Mill Induction Procedures
  
• U3352 Work Safely in a Mill Environment
  
• U3358 Handle Reagents, Chemicals, and Designated Substances
  
• U3431 Perform General Lock Out and Tag on Prime Movers and Other Related Equipment
  

The specialty modules (Section 2) are available upon request.

The program is based on attesting to each trainee demonstrating competency and actually performing the exercises or work described in each module. This training module is intended as a guideline for training, all elements in each performance objective may not apply in all operations.

During this training program, trainees will review how to work safely in a smelter environment including how to identify and deal with hazardous conditions such as hot dust, molten metal, operating equipment, conveyors, and confined spaces. Trainees will also demonstrate competencies including: operate a freight elevator, perform lock and tag on hazardous energy, identify hazards and controls, and practice emergency procedures.

This ministry-mandated common core program is required for non-production smelter workers such as process engineers, technologists, specialists, 2nd line supervisors, yard services, trades persons - including millwrights, electricians, instrumentation technologists, stationary engineers, and more.

Course Modules:

• U1590: Safety – Protect Self and Others

Rigging is the job of making the necessary preparations for lifting or moving a load safely. This 3-day, 13-module program will teach the skills required to know the strength and capabilities of many tools, materials and devices that are available for rigging work. In addition, how to properly apply this information and use the tools and the equipment safely.

The day 3 emphasis will be on non-routine lifts up to critical lifts. Trainees will be given different scenarios and follow a process to determine which category the lift falls under and who to get involved in the lift as well as in-depth categorizing and planning of lifts in a formal way.

Knowledge of the equipment and materials with which we work is one of the most important factors in occupational health and safety. Each item has been designed and developed to serve a specific purpose. Recognizing its capabilities and limitations not only improves efficiency but minimizes hazards and helps prevent accidents.

There is only one way to do any rigging job, and that is safely.

Minimum class size of 6 required to run class.
