Mine safety training saves lives. In 1978, the year the Mine Safety and Health Admin-istration was established, 242 miners died in mining accidents. In 2012 the number of deaths had dropped to 36. Training the people who work in the mining industry – and retraining annually – helps reduce deaths, injuries and illnesses.
2 Emergency Evacuation Procedure Purpose: In the event of fire, severe storm, earthquake, explosion, plane crash, toxic spill, siege, hostage incident or bomb threat, evacuation of the College buildings will be required to ensure the safety of
Practical Procedures for Sampling Grain at arm Sites and emote ocations arch 3 25 Page 3 To Obtain A GOOD Sample With A Tailgate Sampler • Let the grain flow from the carrier (truck, combine, bin) for a few seconds
General procedures for preparing solid samples (such as drying, obtaining a constant weight, grinding, sieving, mixing, and subsampling) are discussed. Some sample preparation procedures then are presented for typical types of solid samples (e.g., soil and sediment, biota, food, etc.). This chapter concludes with specific guidance for preparing

A representative sample can be obtained by following the standard procedures detailed in the latest edition of AASHTO T2 and ITM 207, "Method of Sampling Stockpile Aggregate." SIZE OF ORIGINAL SAMPLES The key to any sample program is to obtain a representative sample. A standard sampling method must be followed to obtain uniform samples.
determination of gold content in a sample is dependent on the nature of the sample matrix, the grain size and distribution of the gold and the end use of the assay data. The objective of assays and analysis routinely carried out on gold plants by mine site laboratories is to provide information to optimise the mining process: • Ore reserves;

Inspect a sample of mobile equipment to confirm that visual aid equipment (e.g. proximity detectors, camera technology and/or mirrors) are fitted to mobile equipment. Refer to Mines Safety Significant Incident Report No. 152: Haul truck and light vehicle collision 2.9 Adequate provision has been made to always allow three points of contact when
run-of-mine ores prior to final smelting and refining stages, which require too much energy consumption by rendering less energy intensive procedures, based mainly on physical rather than chemical principles. To be more specific, let us take the example of a copper ore whose grade, or copper content, is only 1% by weight.

Safe operating procedures should be reviewed on a periodic basis, e.g. every 2 years, depending upon the level of risk, to ensure that the procedure remains current and appropriate. Reviews of safe operating procedures will be required sooner than two years in the event: • An incident occurs that relates to the safe operating procedure ;

The Mining Process. 1. Mining – open pit and underground. To define the ore from the waste rock, samples are taken and assayed. Assay results are used to mark out areas of ore and waste rock, which are mined separately. Some of the harder areas require blasting to loosen the rock prior to excavation by hydraulic diggers.
