Miner's Tips

"Creating Understanding"

Printer Friendly Version 		Safety and Health are Values!


With so many new and former miners coming into the mining industry today, we might assume some of the more "experienced" miners know how to do a task safely. We need to remember that some returning miners have been out of the industry for years. There are three easy steps to follow when orienting miners regardless of the amount of experience they have.
    Creating Understanding Tell them - "They may forget"


      Creating Understanding Show them - "They might remember"


        Creating Understanding Involve them - "They will understand"
