Palletising Bagged Dry Mineral Products Safely And Efficiently Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply safe lifting and handling techniques to prevent injury when palletising bagged dry mineral products.
• Demonstrate correct stacking patterns and weight distribution to ensure load stability.
• Implement workplace safety procedures and use personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriately.
• Evaluate potential hazards in the palletising area and take corrective action.
• Perform palletising tasks efficiently while maintaining quality and productivity standards.
• Comply with relevant health and safety legislation and organisational policies.

Target Audience

This course is designed for operators, warehouse personnel, and logistics staff involved in handling and palletising bagged dry mineral products in mining, processing, or distribution settings.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practicals form the core of this training, allowing learners to apply theoretical knowledge in a controlled environment. Learners practice manual and semi-automatic palletising, load securing, quality inspection, and emergency response, building confidence and competence for real-world operations.

Practical Activities

• Manual Palletising and Bag Handling — Learners practice correct lifting, carrying, and stacking techniques using bagged mineral products (simulated). They construct stable pallet loads using interlocking patterns and perform load stability checks. (8h)
• Semi-Automatic Palletiser Operation — Learners operate a semi-automatic palletiser: perform pre-start checks, run the machine through a full cycle, respond to alarms, and conduct basic fault-finding. (8h)
• Load Securing and Wrapping — Learners apply stretch wrap and strapping to palletised loads, achieving correct tension and overlap. They inspect finished loads for transport readiness. (8h)
• Integrated Simulation and Emergency Drill — Learners participate in a full palletising operation simulation including receiving bags, palletising, wrapping, and dispatch. An emergency drill (e.g., fire or spill) is conducted mid-session. (8h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
