Site Safety & Truckmixer Awareness in the Extractive & Mineral Processing Industries

Driver (CPC)

SSC

The Site Safety & Truck Mixer Awareness course is a dynamic one day Driver CPC programme designed to keep drivers safe, confident and aware of best practice when working in the extractives and mineral processing industries. Across 7 interactive hours, delegates explore real world risks, best practice behaviours, and the full journey of an industry driver—from arriving fit for work to navigating busy sites, loading safely, and pouring/offloading with precision.

Successful completion of the course and passing the assessment leads to the Site Safety & Tipper Awareness endorsement being uploaded onto your MP Connect Card.

The webinar variant of this course is only available by LAPTOP OR COMPUTER, please note that smart devices such as phones or tablet are not permittable for our courses.

This course is designed for professional drivers working within the extractives and mineral processing sector who:
