Just left Ekati in the Northwest Territories, working with their 'Emergency Response' Competition Mine Rescue team members under contract through 'Arctic Response'.
Covered a lot of ground in only a few days, reviewed basic skills and conducted some individual and team level Underground and Surface Mining First Aid orientated scenarios. We also conducted some Low and High Angle Rope Rescue training. Was a lot of fun and I believed we all learned a lot. Of course I was so busy I didn't take any photos. Next time.
Can only wish them the best on their upcoming performance in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut Annual Mine Rescue Competition in Yellowknife next week.
June Safety Point: What you ignore you condone, what you condone you accept and by extension, what you accept you actually may inadvertently encourage.
As management and leaders be aware that your workers and supervisors are always watching your example (even as you are stepping out to the parking lot). Have a safe month. js
