Capability for work underground and at the face.
Mining concentrates confined space, atmospheric, height, lifting and heavy plant hazards in one environment, usually at distance from emergency services.
Safety context in mining.
Restricted access, changing ground conditions and atmospheric risk mean that the response to an incident has to come from the people already on site.
Eduforce brings its confined space entry and rescue, atmospheric gas testing, height rescue, lifting and first aid capability to the disciplines mining work demands.
What this industry has to manage.
Confined space and atmosphere
Enclosed workings demand atmospheric testing before and during entry, and a rescue plan that can actually be executed.
Rescue at distance
Remote sites extend the time before professional help arrives, which extends the responder's role.
Heavy plant and lifting
Lifting operations and powered plant working around people on foot concentrate risk into short windows.
Working at height
Structures, plant maintenance and shaft work all require fall protection competence.
