CHAPTER 03 : EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
My experiential learning
During my internship in the mining industry, I had the invaluable opportunity to delve into the critical
aspects of worker safety and health firsthand. The experience provided a profound insight into the
multifaceted challenges and the proactive measures essential for ensuring the well-being of personnel within
this high-risk environment.
One of the most compelling aspects of my internship was witnessing the daily operations where safety
protocols were not just guidelines but a lifeline for every worker. From the moment I stepped onto the site, I
observed stringent adherence to safety regulations, ranging from personal protective equipment (PPE)
requirements to thorough risk assessments before any task commencement. This meticulous approach
underscored the industry's commitment to minimizing hazards and fostering a culture where safety is
nonnegotiable.
Moreover, engaging directly with safety officers and participating in safety training sessions underscored
the importance of continuous education and awareness. I learned firsthand how these sessions not only equip
workers with necessary skills but also instill a mindset where vigilance and proactive hazard identification
become second nature.
Beyond procedural aspects, my internship allowed me to grasp the broader implications of workplace
health and safety initiatives. I saw how ergonomic assessments and health monitoring programs contribute
not only to injury prevention but also to the overall well-being and productivity of the workforce.
Understanding the integration of health initiatives into daily operations highlighted the industry's holistic
approach to safeguarding its most valuable asset—its people.
Reflecting on these experiences, I realize the paramount importance of collaborative efforts in promoting
a safe working environment. Whether through daily toolbox talks or incident debriefings, the emphasis on
communication and shared responsibility was palpable. Each interaction underscored that safety is a
collective endeavor, requiring active participation at all levels of the organization.
CHICKABALLAPUR
In conclusion, my internship in the mining industry was not merely a professional endeavor but a
transformative learning experience in worker safety and health. It reinforced my belief in the pivotal role of

professionally, as I remain committed to promoting and advocating for workplace safety.
This approach highlights personal experiences while integrating key learnings and reflections gained
during the internship, showcasing a deep understanding of the importance of safety and health in the mining
industry.
TASKS UNDERTAKEN
The topic I choose for my internship report is workers safety and health in mining industry but also I
experienced various works such as
A.Maintaining registrar
Registrar is book used to write the boulders supplied to parties in a specific period of time . here we
write the party name , tare weight (vehicle weight) , material weight , gross weight , net weight, time , date,
query name, material. It is maintained for the purpose of auditing works as a physical evidence to show the
auditor.
B.MDP ( mineral dispatch permit )
Firstly lets know wht is MDP - “Mineral Dispatch Permit” (MDP) means a “Permit” issued under rule-3.
Development Act, 1957. prospecting license, trader in minerals, owner of mineral stock yard, any one in
possession of mineral(s) in its natural state or a Firm or a Company established under the Company's Act,
1956. (Central Act 1 of 1956). It is another work I experienced during my internship. I used to print the
mineral dispatch permits and issued to the related parties.
CHICKABALLAPUR
C.Weighment
Starting from the extraction to shipping, weighbridge allows you to accurately track the weight across all
the various sites and locations. Weighbridge weighs the vehicle weight and material weght accurately .
weighbridge is connected to computer so when the vehicle stops on the weigh bridge it automatically weighs
its weight , it is connected to computer so here we enter the party name , vehicle type, material , vehicle
number , net weight and gross weight and finally we save the data for future purposes.
D.Query
visits During my internship I also visited the query to see the operations going there. Visiting a quarry
offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of extracting materials from the earth. Here are my observations:
1.Noise and Activity
The quarry is a hive of activity, with the constant rumble of machinery and the shouts of workers filling
the air. Excavators, bulldozers, and trucks are in constant motion, hauling away materials or reshaping the
terrain.
2.Safety Measures
Safety is paramount in a quarry environment. I noticed extensive safety protocols in place, such as
warning signs, barriers, and designated pedestrian pathways. Workers may be seen wearing personal
protective equipment (PPE) like hard hats, steel-toed boots, and high-visibility vests.
3.Environmental Consideration
Quarries often operate under strict environmental regulations. Observed measures taken to mitigate
environmental impact, such as sediment control systems, reclamation efforts, or wildlife habitat restoration
projects.
CHICKABALLAPUR
4.Material Extraction Process
Witnessing the extraction process firsthand can be enlightening. Whether it's blasting, drilling, or
excavation, we can gain an appreciation for the methods used to extract raw materials from the earth.
5.Product Handling and Transportation
Once extracted, materials need to be processed and transported. Observers might see conveyor belts,
crushers, and sorting equipment used to process the raw material before it's loaded onto trucks or trains for
distribution.
6.Workforce Dynamics
Quarries are often bustling with activity, with workers from various backgrounds collaborating to keep
operations running smoothly. From heavy equipment operators to geologists to maintenance technicians,
there's a diverse range of skills involved in quarry operations.

The mining industry continually evolves with advancements in technology. I observed state of-the-art
equipment and automation technologies being employed to improve efficiency, productivity, and safety.
8.Community Impact
Quarries can have a significant impact on the surrounding community, both positive and negative.
Observers might note the economic benefits provided by job opportunities and tax revenue, as well as
potential concerns such as noise pollution, dust emissions, and land degradation. Overall, visiting a quarry in
the mining industry offered me a firsthand look at the complex processes involved in extracting and
processing raw materials essential for various industries and infrastructure projects.
E.Blasting clearance
Working on blasting clearance duty in the mining industry requires meticulous attention to detail and
a steadfast commitment to safety. It's a role that demands keen understanding of the surrounding
CHICKABALLAPUR
environment. As a blasting clearance man one must ensure that explosives are handled and detonated with
precision to minimize risk and maximize efficiency in excavation operations. This responsibility involves
