Contractor Employees
The mining industry has continued to evolve and adapt to ever changing situations and
conditions. With the need for additional manpower to operate the mines, more and
more operators are contracting their mining operations. At these mines, contractors are
performing every aspect of day to day operations. As contractors change work locations
and assignments, so do the hazards. Most often the hazards result from a failure to
follow standard operating procedures or failure to recognize work place hazards. |
