First Aid and Emergency Management on Mine Sites
Overview
This course goes deeper into responding to emergencies on mine sites, beyond basic reflexes: correctly assessing a situation, applying the first-aid actions that genuinely make a difference while waiting for qualified help, and understanding the emergency response organisation specific to an isolated mining environment. Intended for staff likely to intervene on the front line (team leaders, designated first responders, supervisors).
