Mining Safety Training
Mining - An Industry That Could Be Fatal
Although we have seen a change for the better in recent years, mining remains one of the most dangerous industries in Canada. According to Workplace Safety North, a non-profit health & safety association in Ontario, 906 injuries and 12 work-related fatalities were reported throughout the province in 2018 alone.
During the same year, only 22,437 people were employed in the mining sector in Ontario, which means that more than 4% of the total number of employees experienced injuries at work. The number is only comparable with statistics from the Logging & Forestry industry, which, in 2018, was considered the most dangerous sector to work in.
The causes for most work-related injuries or illnesses in Mining were excessive physical effort (44%), improper use of equipment (24%), contact with electricity or hazardous substances (21%), as well as falls (11%). The packages described below include safety courses that are designed to help you prevent precisely these types of accidents while at work. The courses are selected according to the requirements of the most common jobs in Mining.
